Hollis Stacy - Part 1 (The Early Years)

FORE the Good of the Game

World Golf Hall of Fame member Hollis Stacy recounts growing up in Savannah, Georgia as the fourth of ten children. With sports-minded parents and the competitive instincts developed with nine siblings, Hollis took a liking to golf at age 10 and never looked back. She was able to travel to Augusta to watch the Masters and the Titleholders championships and recalls the effortless swing of Julius Boros. With The Blue Danube waltz ingrained as her tempo guide, she enjoyed tremendous competitive success , winning the U.S. Girls Junior Championship three years in row, something only Tiger Woods has matched. Her win over Amy Alcott in 1971 might be one of the finest Girls Junior matches ever. Hollis winds up this episode with reflections on her Curtis Cup experience at Western Gailes in 1972. Hollis Stacy begins her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
