Summary: Amy Alcott, author of THE LEADERBOARD: Conversations on Golf and Life, has won 32 professional tournaments worldwide, including the U.S. Women’s Open, and is a member of the World Golf and LPGA Halls of Fame. She has won the Kraft Nabisco Championship three times—an accomplishment she shares with only two other women—and five major championships. In this candid collection of conversations, Alcott uses the game of golf as an entryway into the personal lives and experiences of well-known entertainers, athletes, and political leaders—all of whom share the bond of a fierce love of the game. The Leaderboard offers an entertaining, poignant, and rare glimpse into the fascinating lives—both on and off the golf course—of 27 celebrity golf enthusiasts. Reflecting on her vast experience as a professional golfer and her remarkable network of celebrity golfing friends, Amy Alcott delivers a one-of-a-kind compendium of wisdom about the game. 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.
