World Golf Hall of Fame member and 10-time major championship winner Annika Sorenstam begins her story by taking us back to the northwest suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden where she grew up with sister Charlotta, learning the game under the watchful eyes of her parents. An accomplished multi-sport athlete, Annika eventually settled on golf as her passion, beating balls in her basement during the long, cold Swedish winters as a youngster. Listen in as she recounts her early amateur successes and her college days playing for two years at the University of Arizona where she was won the 1991 D1 individual title and was a 2-time All-American. Annika recalls her experience at the 1992 Women's U.S. Open at Oakmont CC , playing as an amateur, and how it allowed her to measure her game against the world's finest players. Annika Sorenstam shares her early story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
