In this episode, Mason Reed sits down with CBS broadcaster and LPGA legend Dottie Pepper. She reflects on her journey from a young girl introduced to golf by her grandmother to becoming a professional golfer and lead walking reporter for CBS Golf.

Dottie shares nostalgic memories of her early experiences in golf, the influence of her family, and the challenges of navigating expectations in youth sports.

In this conversation, Mason and Dottie delve into the intricacies of broadcasting, particularly in the realm of golf.
