Dottie Pepper - Part 1 (The Early Years and the 1992 Nabisco Dinah Shore)
2-time major winner and popular golf broadcaster, Dottie Pepper, takes us back to learning the game under the watchful eye of her father Don and early mentor George J. Pulver, Sr. who Dottie honored with her recent book A Letter to a Future Champion - My Time with Mr. Pulver. She had early successes, some while playing on her high school boys golf team; winning the NY Women's State Amateur as a 15-year-old, winning the 1981 and 1983 Girl's NY Junior Amateurs and finishing as low amateur at the Women's U.S. Open in 1984. A 3-time All-American at Furman, Dottie then joined the LPGA Tour in 1988 and got her first win the following year. Listen in as she recounts her early victories and her first major at the 1992 Nabisco Dinah Shore. Dottie Pepper begins her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
