A PIECE OF THE PAST

She’s one of the greatest athletes from Oak Cli you’ve probably never heard of. Betty Jameson was the first woman to break 300 in a 72-hole tournament, scoring 295 at the U.S. Women’s Open in 1947. The Sunset High School graduate won 10 pro tournaments in her career. Along with fellow Sunset alumna Bettye Mims, she was among the founders of the Ladies Professional Golf Association. Jameson started playing golf at 15, when she was a student at Sunset. Her mother gave her 50 cents for green fees and 50 cents to rent clubs “at a golf course just outside of Dallas.” That might’ve been the Mims family’s course in Grand Prairie, Sunset Golf Center, which opened in the 1920s and closed this past summer. Jameson, who died in 2009, will be among the 2020 Dallas ISD Athletic Hall of Fame inductees this coming May. Other Oak Cli ers in this year’s class include five-time NFL Pro Bowl player Jessie Armstead and NBA player Micheal Williams, who both graduated from Carter High School.
