Lacy Dusak

Spirit of the Game Award 2012

Born: 1982
Occupation: Elementary schoolteacher
Mini golf experience: She secretly gets up in the middle of the night to practice on her cardboard replicas of all the MCMM courses while RJ is asleep. Her ultimate goal is to destroy him in front of all of his friends and family, forcing him to wear the crown of artificial turf to bed for a month.
Interesting facts: Lacy has an extensive collection of Beanie Baby lobsters. Just the lobsters. She doesn't want to hear about your bears or unicorns or that stupid seahorse.
Interesting lies: If not for the personal assistance of a giant squid, Lacy would likely have never survived her first Mini Masters. Ask her to tell you the story sometime!
