Lucille occasionally stepped onto the national stage winning the 1933 Women’s Western Amateur which led to being selected to the U. S. Curtis Cup team. Her peak of success came in 1941 when she won both the Women’s Western Amateur and the Trans-Mississippi Championship.

In addition to her five wins in the Iowa Women’s Amateur she won five Des Moines City Championships between 1926 and 1934.  After marrying Russell Mann and moving to Wisconsin she won three consecutive Wisconsin State Amateurs, 1938-40. She won five of six Nebraska state championships starting in 1950 after they had moved to Lincoln, Nebraska.
