FORE the Good of the Game

Craig Stadler - Part 1 (The Early Years)

Bruce Devlin, Mike Gonzalez & Craig Stadler

Masters Champion Craig Stadler recounts his formative years growing up in Southern California and learning the game at La Jolla Country Club. His game developed quickly at USC during which time he won the U.S. Amateur at Inverness in 1973. He fondly recalls his 1975 Walker Cup experience at the Old Course where teammate Jerry Pate created the moniker that would stick forever, "Walrus".  Craig recalls the work he put in to develop his left-to-right ball flight and the anxiousness of his first Masters, at age 20, paired with Jack Nicklaus in the opening round. Craig Stadler tells the story of his early days as a developing golfer, "FORE the Good of the Game."
