Greis is no newcomer to the psychic struggles that play such a big part in men's golf. As a high school senior at Waschusett Regional H.S., she shuffled between the first and third slots on the boys' team and was voted co-MVP.

As this envelopment progressed, Teilhard believed, man would eventually transcend his individualism and converge at the "Omega Point" with the Omega -God. Instead of God's creation at the beginning of time, Teilhard emphasized instead his ongoing and future creative activity. To orthodox critics, this vision destroyed the distinction between man and nature, and veered perilously...
