from Golf Stuff · host Dylan Dethier

Amy Alcott won 29 times on the LPGA Tour, took five majors, and landed in the World Golf Hall of Fame — but she started by hitting into a net at a Westwood golf school and running a make-believe country club out of her front yard, billing her parents' dinner guests for drinks.Ahead of the U.S. Women's Open at Riviera, the lifelong member talks with Dylan Dethier to trace her path from sneaking onto the course as a kid to serving as its ambassador this week.She gets into the movie stars she grew up around, what makes Riviera so special hole by hole, the difference between being nervous and being underprepared, and the one quiet corner of the course almost nobody talks about.
