Ellen Port, 55, St. Louis Question Andrea Kraus, 55, Baltimore
Putter What is your favorite club? Driver
All my Curtis Cups (two) and USGA national championships (6) What is your most memorable golf experience? Having a hole-in-one the same day I gave birth to my son (Matthew) in 1989 at my home course (Woodholme). I only realized now I should have named him Ace.
My husband (Andy) Who influenced you the most? Really no one. My mom started playing the same I did. I never really had an instructor.
My son (Drew), my husband (Andy) and my daughter (Katie) Who rounds out your dream foursome? I don't really have a dream foursome. I don't put a lot of stock in celebrity. I would have liked to have played with Annika Sorenstam.
Pebble Beach and Augusta National What is on your golf bucket list? I'd like to play all the great Scottish courses.
A [NCAA] Division III national championship for Washington University What is on your non-golf bucket list? I do love to travel. I haven't done South America. I haven't done the Far East.
"Organize Tomorrow Today" -- by Jason Selk  What is the latest book you read? "The Red Tent" -- by Anita Diamant
A tie: It's a Wonderful Life and Sound of Music  What is your favorite movie? Pulp Fiction
