Women’s World Long Drive Championship Winner Is ? A Man ?
December 23, 2008 by Mike
The picture shown above is of 55-year-old bartender Lana Lawless. Who just this week won the Women’s World Long Drive Championship, reports Golf Week. Only problem is that Lawless used to be a 245-pound Male, SWAT cop. So you can see there might be a bit of an issue over this. But not in the mind of Lawless, who says “I am a woman, “I’ve lost muscle mass. I don’t have big guns” (you think she tucks it under, or had it chopped off ?). Yeah, and I’m hung like Wesley Pipes. If you’re wondering with the winning distance of the drive was, it was 254-yards into 40-mph winds. Lawless claims if she’s downwind ( oh man, that’s a softball, right there) she can hit the ball almost 335-yards. Yeah, I don’t see a problem with a tranny in a women’s competition. More from Golf Week:
For starters, there is her startling honesty. “This is who I am. This is my life,” she said firmly. “That other person, that 245-pound SWAT cop I used to be, he’s gone. He’s not coming back.”
The rules governing transgender golf competition are precise and numerous. For Lawless, they included mandatory doctor reports, lab results within normal female limits and onsite testing.“I am a woman,” insisted Lawless, who adopted her new name from classic-movie star Lana Turner but declines to discuss her previous name. “I’ve lost muscle mass. I don’t have big guns (biceps). They give you a drug that stops you from producing testosterone. Your muscles atrophy. In about seven months, I went from 245 pounds to 175 pounds. I’ve gained back a little bit, but I feel like I don’t have any power.
Being a “normal girl’’ came with a price – despite medical insurance, she has spent $79,000 so far. Another sacrifice was golf, which she figured would never again be part of her life.
“Sure, I used to be a man. For 18 years, I was a cop for the city of Rialto, one of the most violent cities in Southern California. I worked the gang unit. I had a very tough and mean exterior. People didn’t want to mess with me.
“I had a hard exterior, but I was compassionate inside. I always let the gay guys go; they had enough drama in their lives.”
