At the age of 10 Barbara Bunkowsky picked up a golf club and met her destiny. Twelve years later, the Burlington, Ontario native would leave Florida State as one of its finest golfers ever. Bunkowsky's performance in the team's first national championship is still talked about in Tallahassee golfing circles. Barbara shot even par in the last round of the AIAW National Championship in Athens, GA. Her efforts were even more dramatic as she birdied the final five holes to seal the championship. The victory was a record fifth tournament win for the Lady Seminoles in 1981. Barbara made a quick impact on the LPGA Tour picking up her first tournament win at the Chrysler-Plymouth Charity Classic in only her second professional season. Bunkowsky is now in her 11th season with the LPGA and ranks among the top 30 money winners on the Tour.
