Crissy Klein

Considered Howard County’s most successful golfer ever, Crissy Klein enjoyed outstanding careers at Northwestern High School and the
University of Notre Dame before earning her PGA Class A Professional status.

Klein played four seasons on the Tigers golf squad, twice leading her team to the IHSAA state finals and twice, qualifying as an individual.

She competed at Notre Dame four seasons and ranks No. 8 in the program’s record book for the number of times (10) she registered the low score
for the Irish while playing in invitationals. Her top effort came in 1992 when she was medalist in the eight team Bradley University Invitational. She
also scored among the top 8 players at invitationals hosted by Michigan, Ohio State and Purdue (twice). As a senior, Klein was her team’s co-
captain and finished the season with the squad’s No. 2 scoring average.

Following graduation, Klein pursued her dream of playing golf professionally and during a four-year stretch while on the Duramed Futures Tour,
earned a berth in the 1995 U.S. Open. To qualify for the prestigious event, she shot a 3-under par 70 to win a qualifier at Nemacolin (Pa.) Country
Club that drew 75 players.

In 1998 Klein went from player to teacher and in 2002 earned the elite status of a Class A PGA Professional. She has since worked at several
Indianapolis area courses, specializing as an instructor of young players. Klein’s best round ever came at Ballantyne Country Club in Charlotte,
N.C. where she set the women’s course record with a 7-under par 65.
