Greg Lee’s greatest success on the beach came when teaming with Jim Menges. Lee and Menges were considered the kings of the beach in the mid to late 1970s. From 1973-1982, Lee and Menges played in 30 tournaments together, winning 25, finishing second three times and third twice. They were never out of the top three. The pair also won pro beach volleyball’s first World Championship in 1976. Following a loss that stopped Kiraly and Steffes from breaking the tour record of 13 tournament championships in a row set in 1975-76 by Lee and Menges, Kiraly said: “I guess it’s appropriate that Menges and Lee stay in the record book. They laid the foundation for the sport.”
Lee played basketball but never volleyball while attending UCLA. However Lee’s older brother, Jon Lee, was an accomplished beach volleyball player with a “AAA” rating. Jon introduced him to the game. Lee began playing in the sand courts at Sorrento Beach in 1970. Within a year he and his friends were being asked by players such as Ron Lang and Ron von Hagen to move off the “outside courts” and compete with them on the “first court”.
In 1972, Greg Lee played in his first “Open” at the Laguna Beach Open, finishing second with Ron Von Hagen. His first “Open” victory came with Tom Chamales at the 1972 Santa Barbara Open. Lee advanced to the finals four times in 1972, winning twice. It was at Santa Monica in 1972 that Lee met what came to be his longtime beach partner Jim Menges. The pair of Lee and Menges won their first Open tournament together at the 1973 Marine Street Open, defeating Ron Lang and Ron Von Hagen in the finals. The two were partners on and off over the summers of the next two seasons while Menges completed his volleyball career at UCLA and Lee played professional basketball for a couple of years. Lee’s best finish on the beach in 1974 was a second at the Manhattan Beach Open.
