Have you ever wondered what it takes to make it to the top of the PGA Tour? Our guest for this episode, Masters Champion Fuzzy Zoeller, guides us through his journey from playing golf and basketball in New Albany, Indiana to conquering the world of professional golf. Fuzzy's unique swing and indomitable spirit, nurtured by his high school coach, Bill Henry, paved his way to success and set him apart on the PGA Tour. 

With college golf experience at Edison Junior College and then joining national powerhouse Houston, under the guidance of famed coach Dave Williams, Fuzzy's game developed to a point where he felt he was ready to take on the PGA Tour.

As Fuzzy narrates his experiences with Monday Qualifiers and the shift from the "elite 60" to the "125", you'll get a glimpse of the sweat and toil that goes behind the glamorous scene of professional golf. Listen in as he recounts his triumph of securing a place in the top 60, his first professional win, and the differences in golf balls and golf equipment companies he experienced throughout his career. 

Finally, take a step back in time with heartwarming anecdotes of Fuzzy playing golf for quarters with old timers in his hometown. From the invaluable learning experiences to the camaraderie built along the way, Fuzzy's stories are a testament to his love for the game and the transformative power of sport. Join us on this enriching ride filled with nostalgia, insights, and life lessons from Fuzzy Zoeller as he begins his life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
