Alcott, a five-time major-championship winner, will be the keynote speaker at the first-ever Women In Golf Symposium in Southern California on Sat., Oct. 27 from 11-1 p.m.. Presented by the Southern California PGA, SCGA and WSCGA, the symposium will feature some of California's most influential women's golf leaders, and will provide a forum for a fascinating discussion of the ways to further develop opportunities for women in the game of golf. Alcott will be joined on stage by Susan Roll, an LPGA and PGA Class 'A' Professional; Sue Fiscoe, President of the Northern California PGA; Theresa Miller, Assistant Sectional Director for the EWGA; and Cheri Tschetschot and Bill Cioffoletti of the PGA of America.

On Feb. 9, 1999, Alcott's wait ended, not when she won again, but when the LPGA membership overwhelmingly voted in favor of a point system for active players and the creation of a 12-person veterans committee. She and Beth Daniel were the immediate benefactors of the new qualification standards.

Of the first eight players to make the preps-to-pros leap, only Amy Alcott (1975) and Dorothy Delasin (2000) won a tournament as a rookie. Alcott's 15th-place finish on the money list is the best of the group.

Amy entered the Californian junior tournaments and swung her junior golf clubs to victory at the California State Amateur and USGA Junior. By the age of 18, Amy's obsession with her golf clubs took her from being a junior player to a pro.
