BIOGRAPHY
Amy Alcott – Member of the World Golf and LPGA Halls of Fame: Year Inducted: 1999
Nineteen-year-old Amy Alcott was named the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Rookie of the Year in 1975. Twenty-four years and 34 professional victories later, she was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1999.
To be honoured in the great circles of golf, to be enshrined with the other great Hall of Famers is something that I truly looked forward to,” said Alcott at the press conference announcing her place in the LPGA Hall of Fame. “In my heart, I have felt that I’ve had a Hall of Fame career.”
Alcott’s career highlights include 29 LPGA Tour wins and five major titles—the 1979 Peter Jackson Classic, the 1980 U.S. Women’s Open, and the Nabisco Dinah Shore in 1983, 1988, and 1991.
In 1983, her winnings made Alcott the LPGA’s sixth millionaire. She became the third LPGA player to top $2 million in career earnings in 1988 and crossed the $3 million mark in 1994. At the time of her IJSHOF election, Alcott’s $3.4 million in career earnings ranked fourteenth all-time on the Ladies Tour.
Only the seventeenth woman to be inducted into the World LPGA Hall of Fame, Alcott has received most of professional golf’s awards and honours. Among them, in 1980 she was Golf Magazine’s Player of the Year and recipient of the Vare Trophy for best Tour scoring average.
In 1985, she was the recipient of the Mickey Wright Award and LPGA Founders Cup Award. The California Golf Writers Association named her Female Golfer of the Year in 1987.
Alcott’s short amateur career was highlighted by her victory in the United States Golf Association Juniors championship in 1973.
She has authored the book “A Woman’s Guide to Golf” and is featured in the instruction video winning at Golf with Amy Alcott.

Forecasters & Matches
There is something ethereal and hypnotic about a Pisces, that gives the impression that they’re too soft for the real world, that they need protecting and nurturing. They’re mystical, mysterious and when you fall in love with a Piscean, you fall under a spell.
There is something special about Pisces and they are so feeling and approach love with such love, openness and a willingness to share themselves, that they are often taken advantage of. That is until they find that special person, who can appreciate just what a treasure they have found.
To be loved by a Piscean means that you’re able to almost drown in the sea of love, so unconditional is their love. To be loved by a Piscean is to truly know what love feels like.
Pisceans have a deep sense of intuition, bordering on psychic abilities, that give them the ability to tune into their lover’s needs. They are able to give what their lovers need before they’ve even had a chance to ask for it.
This brings two sets of problems. The first is that they’re often so tuned into their lover’s needs, that they neglect their own. They allow their relationships to get so lopsided, showering so much love and attention and getting little in return, that when they do wake up to reality, that reality often comes with a thud, leaving their poor lovers wondering what they did wrong. One day they’re the centres of their lover’s universe, the next they’re standing outside with their suitcases being thrown after them!
Pisces & Aries
Pisces is the moth to Aries flame and they’re drawn together by an inexplicable force. They’ll never understand each other, but will want to spend a lifetime trying.
Pisces & Taurus
Venus and Neptune meet in this couple, creating a beautiful connection. A happy and loving relationship, with each being the love of each other’s life.
Pisces & Gemini
A surprise kinship comes from an unlikely compatibility. A very creative union that will forge a strong friendship as well as a deep romantic connection.
Pisces & Cancer
There’s a deep emotional connection between these two, that could be suffocating if they both don’t develop their interests, outside the relationship.
Pisces & Leo
So different in personality, but both are dreamers at heart and hopeless romantics. Each has a lot to offer the other and together create a dazzling couple.
Pisces & Virgo
Opposites always attract, with this being a good match for both signs. Though very different in personality, they form two halves of a great partnership.
Pisces & Libra
These are two gentle and peaceful souls, that together will form an uncomplicated and romantic relationship. Their biggest danger is they’ll both avoid conflicts.
Pisces & Scorpio
This is one of love’s most romantic matches, with a coming together of emotion, romance and passion. They need to avoid suffocating each other though.
Pisces & Sagittarius
From the outside, this is an unlikely pair, but both are dreamers and both seek things that are outside life’s mainstream. They’ll have a lifetime of experiences together.
Pisces & Capricorn
Practical and down-to-earth Capricorn will fall in love with the gentle Piscean, while the Piscean will see a rock of strength and security. An unlikely match that works.
Pisces & Aquarius
This is a very caring and compassionate couple that is likely to work very well, or not at all. There is the potential here for a very deep and philosophical bond.
Pisces & Pisces
These are two sensitive and emotional souls and both are likely to be in love with love itself. Expect a lifetime of romance with the falling-in-love stage, lasting forever.
