Biography

Melanie Hauser is an American sports columnist and feature writer.

An award-winning columnist and feature writer, Hauser has covered everything from swimming to the NFL in her 32-year career as a sportswriter but always spent her springs and summers on golf courses. She spent the first 20 years of her career as a writer for the Austin American-Statesman and a writer/columnist for the Houston Post.

Currently secretary-treasurer of the Golf Writers Association of America and a former member of the board of the Pro Football Writers Association, she is now a Houston-based freelance writer. She has been a columnist for CBS SportsLine and PGATOUR.COM since the fall of 1995 and is a contributor to Golf World, Golf Digest, Sports Illustrated, and Golf Magazine. She collaborated with Hall of Famer Ben Crenshaw on his autobiography, A Feel for the Game: To Brookline and Back, which was published in 2001. Her first book, Under the Lone Star Flagstick, A Collection of Writings on Texas Golf and Golfers, was published in the fall of 1997. She has written/contributed to five other books. 

Hauser was born in Pennsylvania but moved to Texas when she was 5 and hasn't left. After growing up in Houston, she earned a BA in History from the University of Texas in 1975. Ironically, she began her career when she accepted a dare to write sports for The Daily Texan. She has taught Sports Reporting since 2000.
