Every golfer has a story. And for many, sharing stories
about the game's challenges and pleasures, legends and lore,
is as much a joy as playing the game itself. Amy Alcott, one
of golf's great personalities and an LPGA Hall of Fame
member, has drawn upon her remarkable network of well-known
golfing friends and gathered their stories for the first
time ever. In this entertaining and fascinating collection
of candid conversations, Alcott offers a rare look at the
personal lives and experiences -- both on and off the golf
course -- of prominent entertainers, athletes, political
leaders, and other influential figures. A fierce love of
golf connects them all, but their varied anecdotes show how
this magical sport has touched each of their lives in unique
ways. Some highlights: Bill Clinton reveals why
Hillary encouraged him to start playing again in his late
twenties; Jack Nicholson explains how he began to play golf
in his forties and got good enough to shoot a sixty-five;
Ben Crenshaw reminisces about his close relationship with
Harvey Penick and about winning the 1995 Masters just days
after serving as a pallbearer at Penick's funeral; and Jim
Nantz compares his relationship to his dad with the close
relationship that Tiger Woods had with his own father. And
many, many more. At times poignant, illuminating, and
laugh-out-loud funny, The Leaderboard is sure to
inspire and capture the imagination of golf fans everywhere.
