Career

At just 16, Conley played her way into the championship match of the 1963 U.S. Women's Amateur and lost 2 and 1 to Seattle's Anne Quast. In 1964, she won the U.S. Girls' Junior title after losing the final match the year before, beating Laura MacIvor, 6 and 5. In 1966, she captured the Women's Western Amateur. Conley became the first woman to receive a University of Washington golf scholarship.
At 29, she qualified for the LPGA Tour, where she recorded top-10 finishes at the 1978 U.S. Women's Open and the 1979 LPGA Championship. Losing her card after six seasons, she turned to the Ladies European Tour, where she played another half-dozen seasons.
She won twice on the LET, the 1984 Ulster Volkswagen Classic and the 1988 Portuguese Ladies Open, and finished runner-up multiple times, including at the 1986 Women's British Open.
A head-on collision in Italy ended her professional career in 1991. She was inducted into the Pacific Northwest Golf Association Hall of Fame in 2001.
