Tracey Brown
October 2025
I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California. In April 2001, the golf bug bit me when a friend put some golf clubs in my hands. My career as a tax professional may be the reason that I find the challenges of golf appealing. My husband and I spent the past 16 years living outside of the Washington D.C. area and moved back to Southern California this summer. In our spare time, we enjoy traveling and exploring the back roads of our beautiful country.

My husband, George, and I moved to San Juan Capistrano in April of this year. We were in north Orange County for many years while working and raising a family then retired out in Coachella Valley in Indian Wells. Once we retired, we joined Indian Wells Country Club and have enjoyed golf ever since! I look forward to being part of SJHWGA, making new friends and enjoying golf on this beautiful course.

I have been an avid golfer since 2005. I love the camaraderie, close friendships and the tournament and team competition. I’ve been a member at Dove Canyon Golf Club since 2003 and currently play on the Dove spring team league. I began my golfing journey at SJH with Ray Romero as my instructor. I’ve always enjoyed SJH course and so happy to belong with the fun and talented ladies' group! I'm married to an avid golfer and that’s how I began my golfing journey… My professional career in Real Estate allows me free time to golf during the weekdays. My other love is pickle ball, working out and walking my dog, Pearl. I enjoy entertaining and love cooking. I’m appreciative to have been accepted to SJHLGA and look forward to bonding new friendships. Here’s to pars and birdies!

I have spent my life on the East Coast, living in Connecticut and working in Manhattan. In 2021 when I retired, I moved to California to be with family. Even though I have wonderful friends on the East coast, I have come to love San Juan Capistrano, its history, and people. I look forward to meeting new friends, being able to golf year-round and hopefully improving my golf game!

I am a native Southern Californian and have been in the OC for 20 years. I love to be very active, and very athletic, in that I have played many sports growing up and ran the Nike Women's Marathon in 2011. My dad taught me to golf at the age of 12, but I did not play regularly until our twin boys went off to college. Decided that I wanted to play more golf, so I joined EWGA where I met my besties, and we have been playing every Friday for the last 9 years. I retired last year and joined SCWGA, volunteered at the HOAG Classic, and am now excited to be a member at SJHWGA and look forward to making new friends.

Hi, my name is Joan Koh and I have come to love the game of golf. I bought some clubs 20 years ago but started playing serious golf about 5 years ago. I moved to Irvine from Seoul, South Korea in 1998, and do not miss the sticky summers and snowy winters in Seoul. I also love to travel, cook and hike the outdoors. One day, I would love to hike the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I am super excited to join the women’s golf group and make some new friends!

​Hi, I'm Sue. I was born in Los Angeles (married my HS sweetheart in 1973). We have three daughters and seven grandchildren. I have always loved sports and began playing golf at Mesa Verde Country Club in 1998. Since then I have belonged to clubs in the La Quinta area until we moved back to the OC after retiring in 2020. I love golf as there is always something to learn, something to work on and improve upon in the game and in myself!!! I am looking forward to making new friends and fun golf memories at San Juan Hills! Thank you for welcoming me into the Club
