World Golf Hall of Fame member and the winningest player on any Tour ever, Kathy Whitworth, begins her remarkable story by sharing how she came to the game of golf at age 15 using her grandfather's clubs and how the local pro, Texas Golf HOF member Hardy Loudermilk, provided early guidance before sending her off to Austin, Texas to see the renowned teacher, Harry Penick. These two men shaped the game of Kathy, who turned professional in 1958 and joined the fledging LPGA Tour the following year. She recalls the tough times she endured before finally cashing a check at the Land of the Sky Open and reaching the winner's circle in 1962. Hear Kathy talk about some of the Founders of the LPGA, fascinating women with strong personalities all. With 88 LPGA wins and 95 second-place finishes, we still have a lot to cover with Kathy Whitworth, "FORE the Good of the Game."
