As a decades-long member of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, Jane played squash, tennis, and golf (in her younger years she played golf and tennis every day). There were several years in which she logged more rounds of golf than any other member. In 1978 she won the Husband/Wife Club championship. She also won several Mother-Son Club championships. Over the years Jane and Jack treated their children and spouses to trips to over 30 of the finest golf courses in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
