Reilly Family Turns Golf into a Baytown Dynasty
Lawrence Reilly, his sons Mickey Charles and Jeffery, and daughter Joan drive a golf legacy from Baytown to Goose Creek events. From 1928 beginnings with Lawrence winning Baytown titles to Mickey and Charles winning junior and district crowns, the clan nests around Humble Baywood Club and Goose Creek tours. Young Kevin, 6, and baby-steps sister Joanie hint at a multigenerational push as the matriarch Helen manages equipment and schedules while Lt. Cmdr Kraft relocates Alaska.
