Judy Rankin, World Golf Hall of Fame member and renowned golf broadcaster, takes us back to her childhood in St. Louis, Missouri as an only child who learned the game at a very early age from her father. Judy had tremendous success as a junior player, winning the National Pee Wee Championship four times and the Missouri State Amateur twice, all before the age of 16. She played in the Women's U.S. Open at age 14 and was Low Am the following year. Judy graced the cover of Sports Illustrated after competing in the Women's British Amateur at Carnoustie as a 16-year-old, traveling there thanks to the funds raised by her dad and local pro, Bob Green. Judy Rankin reflects on the joys of travel in those days, how she ended up turning pro and ends with her memories of the great Mickey Wright as she begins her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
