Alcott started playing the golf at age seven on her Santa Monica, California front yard putting into soup cans and sprinkler heads. She was taught the game indoors hitting balls into a driving net by her mentor and teaching pro, Walter Keller – her words upon meeting Mr. Keller for the first time, “I want to prepare to be the best golfer in the world.” Amy has traveled worldwide to compete in tournament golf, perform in corporate golf events and clinics. Her success and colorful personality set the course early on for her role as spokesperson for a distinctive list of blue chip companies and charity organizations such as Elizabeth Arden; Sunkist; Ralph Lauren; Quaker Oats; Countrywide; Andersen Consulting and Office Depot. Armed with astute observations and innumerable stories about the game and its personalities made her transition to TV commentator, speaker and writer a natural process. Her most recent book is “The Leaderboard: Conversations on Golf and Life”, with a foreword by Jim Nantz. Learn more at AmyAlcott.com.
