H. Jean Macon
LPGA Class A Professional
Charlotte, NC
Jean is an Iraqi veteran of the United States Army, a former civilian police officer, and a current coach to veterans and youth athletes of the LPGA. However, her most rewarding work comes from her role as a mother. Leading with love, she personally adopted four siblings placed in three separate foster homes and raised them as her own. The best part of her day comes from watching her kids dare to dream and find their renewed sense of joy in the face of the immense obstacles they overcame. She is a mother, coach, and a woman of the LPGA – and she is a WOMAN OF STRENGTH™️.
