Bruce DevlinThen it started to hook just so yeah, it's and you know, Hollis everybody uh particularly in this game, they they need people to to sort of help them. I know your mother taught you very early, but uh were there any other influences in your golf game as a young lady?
Hollis StacyOh, you know what's funny is that my mom, you know, she was she was probably about uh 15 handicapped. So, but she you know, she helped me with my rhythm. And she gave me that little da da da da. She gave me that song to sing all the time. And honest to goodness, I have I have sung that song for my entire career. You know, when you're coming down the last 70-second hole and you're, you know, you can't breathe and you need water, and you know, it's those little thoughts from your childhood days that you go, okay, let's just really be simple and think about little things. So I, you know, I attribute that to my mom for helping me with that. She was um, you know, she was quite the competitor.

Intro MusicWhack down the fairway. It went smack down the fairway. Then it started to slice, just smidge off line. It headed for two, but it bounced off nine. My caddy says long as you're still in the state, you're okay. And it went straight down the middle, quite away.
