About the Lady Links Founder
Vicky R. Minneti was born on a blistering cold day January 7th, in Racine, Wisconsin. She attended St. John Nepomuk Grade School, St Catherine's High School and entered the the University of Wisconsin- Parkside.
She traveled to Oceanside, California and enlisted into the United States Marine Corps. During her incredible 20 year career in the Corps, Vicky became an expert not only at mastering the M16A2 service rifle and the 9mm revolver, but at her career occupational specialty of Procurement. While in the Marine Corps, Vicky applied for the Staff Non-Commissioned Officer's Degree Completion Program. She was selected for the program along with only 55 other Marines that year. She completed her Psychology degree at San Diego State University. Vicky or "Gunnery Sergeant" Minneti as they respectfully addressed her, was a decorated Marine; achieving the highest peace time medal, the Defense Meritorious Services Award for her efforts in El Paso, Tx in operational support of the President's War on Drugs "Counter- Narcotics" Task Force team. Her big boss at the time was then Joints Chief of Staff, Collin Powell. Vicky retired in September of 1995 at Camp Pendleton after honorably serving a 20 year Marine Corps career. The "Gunny" as she is affectionately called, traveled to 16 countries and finally set her duffel bag & boots down in San Diego, California. (Mira Mesa) It was in 1995 that she got bitten by the golf bug. The Vickster took back to back Mesa College beginning golf classes, then took private golf lessons from LPGA Teaching Pro, Cindy Kelliher who worked at the MCAS Base at Miramar. Cindy gave Vicky the confidence she needed to start golfing at the longer courses around town. Thus, the Lady Links was born; catering to women of all walks of life of various degrees of golfing skill. Everybody was cordially invited to come out and play!! There's so much more to this woman: A 2x breast cancer and Crohn's Disease Survivor & Thriver, and business owner of "Dog Walks 'N More, LLC since 2003. Vick could talk all day long to you about her love of life, nature, puppy dogs, organics, health & nutrition. If you want to know anything about these topics, you've asked the right gal! "That about sums it up!" |
