Gardner Edward Dickinson III


"Let 'er Rip" Gardner Edward Dickinson's Autobiography

Famous golfer Gardner Edward Dickinson once said, "They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that." I dare to disagree with Gardner's profound statement because today's world is far more complicated than a game of golf. Today we face global leaders determined to reduce the worldwide population, and evil spirits are knocking loudly at our door. Regardless of the terminology, fascism, socialism, or communism, the result equates to the same outcome if today's trajectory doesn't veer from its course. And those of us that can survive the darkness the despots have deemed as our destiny will only dream and wish that we had been among the weak, woke, and unknowing. Economists believe that we are mere months from worldwide famine, predicting that food prices will escalate beyond a price point the majority cannot pay. They estimate that gas prices will continue thanks to the decline in forced, reduced production of oil. They warn that the globalists are preparing for the "great reset," and the money people manage to hold onto in the future will most likely have no purchasing power, if there is any value at all. We are on the back nine of our course, hoping our backswing approaches the green, but unfortunately, the blind spot will have our ball landing on the rough. My distant cousin, Gardner, was lucky not to live in today's unprecedented times. Instead, he was privileged to have begun his journey in another era. Here is his story about the game he loved to play as a profession!


Dickinson, Gardner Edward, 1943, August 29, The Macon Telegraph, Macon, Georgia, Page 20

Gardner Edward Dickinson came out swinging into the world on September 14, 1927, in Dothan, Houston County, Alabama [1-13]. He was the only child born to Fredricka "Freddie" Pilcher (September 4, 1904-October 5, 1987) and Gardner Edward Dickinson II (October 25, 1903-February 14, 1972) [1-3, 14-20]. Often Gardner became referred to as junior throughout his lifespan, but in actuality, he was the third since both his grandfather and father carried the same name [21-22]. As a young boy, Gardner spent his formative years growing up in Louisiana, North Carolina, and Augusta and Macon, Georgia, thanks to his father's career as an insurance examiner [23-25]. But it was in Macon where Gardner attended Lanier High School, where he began competitively playing golf, helping his school win State golf titles in 1943, 1944, and 1945 [33].


Gardner Edward Dickinson on the Louisiana State University golf team

Dubbed the "golfing poet," by the time Gardner was fourteen, he could already beat his father at the game his dad had taught him to play so masterfully [27, 34]. In 1943 and 1944 (nearly winning in 1942), besides helping his high school win state titles, Gardner also achieved some personal accolades by winning the Georgia Interscholastic Athletic Association(GIAA) crown, the 1944 Macon city championship title, and various other tournament titles [33-35]. And so, when Gardner decided to attend college at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge in 1945, it's not surprising that he joined their golf team [26, 36-38]. While at LSU, Gardner aided his teammates in winning the 1947 National Title. However, Gardner's college career did not start with success, and his defeats on the course became so discouraging that he almost packed up his things to return home [41]. He persevered through his dispiritedness, though, "hit(ting) more practice balls than any LSU golfer in 20 years", stated his Coach, Mike Barbato [41]. Gardner hated losing and went on to have a successful college career and graduated in 1951 with a degree in Clinical Psychology [39]. As a Tiger, Gardner pledged at the Kappa Alpha [40]. But during Gardner's collegiate years, he also served his country as a Lieutenant in the Army Reservist until being discharged in June 1953 [40]. While in the service, Ben was an infantry instructor in Fort Jackson, South Carolina [62].

After leaving Louisiana and his college alma mater behind, Gardner decided to attend the University of Alabama for some postgraduate courses and work towards his master's degree [39, 41]. But what Gardner could not leave behind was his love for golf, so he returned to where his life began in Dothan, Alabama, winning the amateur titles of Dothan Invitational Champion, Alabama Golf Association Crown, and numerous other accolades [42-43]. However, in 1953, Gardner, while playing at the Pan American Open in Mexico City, met someone that altered his trajectory from amateur to professional when he met his idol, Ben Hogan [41,44]. Despite defeating Gardner 68-78, Hogan became impressed with Gardner's golf game during that tournament, catching his attention [41, 44]. After that infamous game, Hogan offered Gardner a salary of $1000 per week and a position as an assistant and teacher at the Tamarisk Country Club in Palm Springs, California [41, 44]. Garner's time as Hogan's protege there would lead him to permanently change his swing as he began mimicking his idol's stance and, oddly, even his golfing attire [41, 44]. Gardner would become known forever on the golfing circuit as "Little Ben" or "Slim Man" because of his successful imitation of Ben Hogan [41-44]. Somehow, Hogan had managed to get Gardner's swing to put more balls further in the air, allowing for professional wins in his future [41-44].


Gardner Edward Dickinson and LaDella Ehlert, 1955, January 10, Birmingham Post-Herald, Birmingham, Alabama, Page 4.

In 1954, Gardner's life drastically changed when he met and married Canadian-born LaDella Ehlert in Riverside County, California, on May 1, 1954 [45-46]. Born on January 15, 1931, in Glenwood, Alberta Province, LaDella was the youngest child of eleven born to Max Richard Ehlert and Martha Minna Anna Thur [47-57]. And like Gardner, LaDella loved the game of golf and was gaining a reputation too as an accomplished golfer and achieving accolades for winning many club championships [52-53]. After honeymooning in Abilene, Texas, Gardner and Della began their family immediately, welcoming Gardner Edward Dickinson IV on August 14, 1956 [58-61]. Then later, completing their family, they had Randall Ben (March 31, 1958) and Sherry Adele Dickinson (October 9, 1959) [58-61]. Gardner named Randall Ben after his idol Ben Hogan, of course [58-61].


Gardner Edward Dickinson, 1955, January 8, The Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, California, Page 41

In 1956, after barely making his financial ends meet during the previous golf tour, Gardner's luck changed to profitability [39, 62]. In 1956, he won the West Palm Beach Open, defeating Sam Sneads in the final round [39]. The following year, Gardner followed up on that success and won the Insurance City Open Invitational [39]. But in 1958, Gardner's career was on the verge of permanently ending, thanks to a self-inflicted injury [62]. Attempting to dislodge his ball from a thick rough, Gardner made a "lusty cut," and the force of the impact snapped a vertebra in his neck that dislodged a bone chip that pinched a nerve [62]. Despite requiring an operation to remove the dislodged bone chip, Gardner wasn't discouraged, though [62]. Gardner said, "the worst thing that can happen to a golfer is for him to feel sorry for himself. Sometimes the more you work, the worse you play, and it seems like a law of diminishing returns is working against you. It's something you have to fight [62]." Gardner's positive attitude and determination to fight to recover would lead him to win five more PGA tour victories [39].

  • 1962 Coral Gables Open Invitational

  • 1967 Cleveland Open Invitational

  • 1968 Doral Open Invitational

  • 1969 Colonial National Invitation

  • 1971 Atlanta Classic

"Professional golf knows no bounds," believed Gardner. "There is a tremendous future in it so long as we (the pros) conduct ourselves as businessmen [62]. We can't expect to be treated like businessmen if we don't act like businessmen," he said [39]. And in what Gardner would treat as a small business, he would earn $530,000 throughout his career, making him one of the forty all-time wage earners in golf [39]. During his PGA tour, Gardner competed in 12 Masters Championships [63-64]. He competed in the 1967 and 1971 Ryder Cups with a 9-1-0 match record, one of the best winning all-time percentages [39, 63-64]. Teaming with Arnold Palmer during the Ryder, Gardner and Palmer never lost a match, ending with a 5-0 record [39, 63-64]. In 1965, in a foursome, he won the Haig and Haig, and in 1978, teamed with Sam Snead, he won the Legends of Golf [39, 63-64]. Along with Gardner's wins, his record includes 13 runner-up positions and 11 third-place finishes [39]. But his ever-lasting mark on the game is his co-founding the Seniors PGA Tour, now known as "Champions Tour [39]."


Ben Hogan, 1954, April 4, The Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, California, Page 203

It is impossible to mention Gardner's career without discussing the impact and influence of Ben Hogan on his game and success [39, 62]. Gardner admired Ben Hogan saying, "Hogan without a doubt is the greatest shot-maker of them all [62]." He said, "I think Ben would have been a great athlete in any sport. They all used to call him mechanical because he out-practiced and outplayed everybody. But he's also a hell of a natural athlete [62]." Gardner attributed his better knowledge and understanding of the game to Hogan [62]. And although there wasn't anything wrong with Gardner's swing, he fully adapted his to emulate Hogan's [62]. Gardner said of Hogan when interviewed by a reporter, "his mind and muscles are molded together wonderfully, and his powers of observation are fantastic. The man can walk around a golf course and look at the same things you and I do. But he sees things we would never see [62]." Because of his adoration for Hogan, Gardner's most profound win was at the 1969 Colonial in Ft. Worth, Texas, Hogan's hometown [39]. After visiting and receiving a lesson from Hogan at the nearby Shady Oaks Country Club, Gardner won the tournament with Hogan watching from the gallery [39].


Gardner Edward Dickinson with his daughter Sherry Adele

For nearly three decades, LaDella and the kids followed Gardner around the United States while Gardner continued on the PGA tour circuit [52]. LaDella said she "liked to follow Gardner because if Gardner comes home all upset, I know what caused it and how and when to talk to him [67]." But after almost thirty-one years of marriage, their marriage began to crumble. On May 22, 1985, in Palm Beach County, Florida, after four and 1/2 years of being legally separated, they finalized their divorce [65-66]. LaDella never remarried, and on March 27, 2021, LaDella died in Jupiter, Palm Beach County, Florida [52].


Gardner Edward Dickinson and Judy Lee Green, 1985, December 8, The Orlando Sentinel, Orlando, Florida, Page 235

The ink had barely dried on the divorce decree; however, before Gardner remarried, though. And on the same year as his divorce, on September 28, 1895, he married Judy Lee Green in Tequesta, Palm Beach County, Florida, in a private ceremony at his home [68-73]. Born March 4, 1950, in Akron, Summit County, Ohio, Judy was the daughter of Lawrence Elton Green and Doris Ruth Johnson [74-78]. Their odd and unlikely romance began with Judy being Gardner's student, then his protege, until eventually becoming his wife [80]. She was 35, and Gardner was 58 on the day they exchanged their vows [80]. But when asked about their age differences, Judy said, "Our ages are different and some of our philosophies. We argue, we differ, but we are very in love [80]." And from their love came a set of twins, Spencer Lawrence and Barren Frederick Dickinson, born on September 3, 1989 [81-82]. Regarding their names, Gardner said, "We were going to name them William Benjamin and Samuel Jackson after Hogan and Snead. They got big hands (and it) looks like they're going to have a good grip [81-82]."


Gardner Edward Dickinson 1981, October 10, Florida Today, Cocoa, Florida, Page 1C

With Gardner's coaching, Judy successfully won four LPGA tournaments, including the Boston Fire Classic (1985), Rochester International (1986), Safeco Classic (1986), and Inamon Classic (1992) [83]. She also won the Lady Seoul Open in Korea and served as the President of the LPGA between 1990-1992 [83]. But besides Judy, Gardner can also be accredited for coaching others to success, such as Miller Barber, JoAnne Carner, Gary Player, Dan Sikes, and Jack Nicklaus [87]. Gardner and Judy remained married for thirteen years before Gardner died on April 19, 1998, in Tequesta, Palm Beach, Florida [1, 84-86]. His remains are in Riverside Memorial Park in Liberty Hall Mausoleum in Martin County, Florida [1]. Judy is still living.

On a golf course, a ball can swing in various directions based on numerous factors-some controlled and some not. Currently, the wind is not blowing in our favor, and our game is only beginning with numerous obstacles yet to overcome. Sadly, most are unaware the globalist is sandbagging them, and the warnings of "fore" have become muted to their ears. If the globalist succeeds, there will be no mulligans to help us gain an "ace." We are in dire circumstances and are about to lose our game! But how do you make those with a blind spot see the shot there? It's a question asked of me often, and my answer remains the same. "You can't fix stupid!" To me, it is that simple. It is difficult to get someone to play beyond the pain when injured. Sometimes it becomes necessary, though, to test your character and strength. As Americans, our will to win is getting tested as the tyrannical globalist announce more and more of their plans for humanity. Undoubtedly, there are numerous Americans, including my immediate and distant family, who are unaware of their opponents and their opponent's capabilities. They are ignorant and ill-informed of what is to come and that the game of survival has already begun. But unfortunately, we are, and it's time to place your ball on the tee and swing for our future! Because, as Americans, it will be impossible to win if we don't even understand the rules of the game that our enemy uses! FORE!
