DURHAM, N.C. – Add up the four years she spent at high school in Florida, her four years of college at Duke and the two years she’s played on the LPGA Tour. That decade represents how long it’s been since 24-year-old golfer Laetitia Beck has been a fulltime resident of Israel.
But neither time nor distance have softened Beck’s feelings for the nation where the rest of her family still lives. Her pride in Israel is on display wherever she goes, from the country’s blue and white flag emblazoned on her golf bag and ball markers to the Star of David hanging around her neck.
