Skidmore College Athletics

Julie Greene's '58 passion for athletics was nurtured by the club sports available to Skidmore students during the mid-1950s. After earning a master's in guidance and counseling from Syracuse University in 1962, she embarked on a distinguished 37-year career as teacher and administrator of physical education at the collegiate level before retiring in 1995.  

In addition, the Barrington, Rhode Island, native built a formidable career in amateur golf, capturing the state amateur championship eleven times over four decades, more than any other man or woman in tournament history. In 2003, the state Hall-of-Famer made a triumphant return to Providence to become Senior Women's Champion, a title she reclaimed in 2004. And her competitive spirit hasn't let her stop there.  

The multi-titled Eastern and New England golf champion was featured in Sports Illustrated after being ranked 7th in the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship in 1998. Still a formidable national competitor, Greene also plays in the Canadian, Irish, and British Women's Senior golf tours.
