Former Secretary of the R&A, Peter Dawson joins us to relate his life story that began in Aberdeen Scotland. Born to non-golfing parents, Peter found his way to golf at age 11, paying the princely sum of one pound sterling for his annual subscription at Lothianburn Golf Club. A family move to Essex took him to Thorpe Hall Golf Club, the home course to famous English amateur Sir Michael Bonallack, whom Peter would ultimately succeed as the Secretary of the R&A. Peter captained the men's golf team at Cambridge University in 1969, the year Tony Jacklin became the first Englishman to win the British Open since Max Faulkner. To this day, Jacklin's triumph remains Peter's fondest Open memory. Before serving the game, Peter Dawson entered the commercial world to refine his business acumen, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Laura holds records in the Solheim Cup for most appearances as a player (12) and most points scored (25) beginning with the inaugural event at Lake Nona in 1990. She has also served as Vice-Captain three times including the upcoming event in 2023. Many will remember her victory in the first U.S. Senior Women's Open at Chicago Golf by a whopping 10 shots where she made it fashionable to hit driver off the deck. We recount Laura's many honors and awards including her induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2015, a ceremony she unfortunately missed. Laura Davies concludes her life story with us, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Three-time major championship winner, Nick Price, begins by taking us back to the early frustrations and heartbreaks at the majors including the challenges of Augusta and tough Open Championship losses to Seve at Lytham in 1988 and earlier having one hand on the Claret Jug in 1982 at Troon when Tom Watson prevailed. He recognizes the lessons he took away from these which prepared him for a terrific stretch of golf in the early 1990's where he prevailed at the 1992 PGA at Bellerive, the 1994 Open at Turnberry and, later that year, the PGA at Southern Hills. Nick Price looks back on a Hall of Fame career and finishes with his thoughts on how he would like to be remembered as a golfer, "FORE the Good of the Game."
