FORE the Good of the Game

Three-time major championship winner Mary Mills begins her story by sharing her memories of growing up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast where she took up the game the game at age 11. With regular lessons from 1935 PGA Champion Johnny Revolta, Mary enjoyed early amateur success winning the Women's State Am eight times in a row starting at age 14. She met Messrs. Hogan and Jones at age 14 and found inspiration from those encounters. Mary played for four years on the men's golf team at Millsaps College before turning professional in 1962. It wasn't long before she won her first event and major, the 1963 Women's U.S. Open. Mary Mills shares her early years and first big win as a pro, "FORE the Good of the Game."
