More quotes by Amy Alcott
"I don't think the philosophy really changes between men and women. I think golf courses need to become more distance-friendly overall. I think golf courses almost need to develop a more generic set of tees instead of calling them black, blue, red or whatever."
"Golf is a spiritual game. It's like Zen. You have to let your mind take over."
"Don't give advice unless you're asked."
"What makes a great golf course is continuity and variety: right-to-left holes, left-to-right holes."
"Golf isn't just about hitting a lot of drivers. I grew up playing on my front lawn, chipping and putting into soup cans, out of the ivy and over rose bushes and hedges - the little Alcott Golf and Country Club. I just loved having a wedge in my hands."
