Sally was born in Cape Town, South Africa. As a youngster, Sally would tag along behind her father, Percy, on his regular weekend round of golf. At 12 years old, she began to play the game in earnest. Her game matured quickly. By the age of 17, Sally had claimed more than a dozen regional and national amateur titles. Sally enjoyed a successful 30 year career on the LPGA tour, winning 15 titles including two Majors. She continues to compete on the Legends Tour, the women's senior division of the LPGA, of which she is a founding member. She is also involved with both junior and amateur golf development in South Africa through the Sally Little Charitable Trust. Sally's course design boasts of Kingswood, her signature golf course on the Garden Route.
