Last week I was joined by French born Dutch star Lauren Holmey before she set off for Malaga for Andalucia Costa Del Sol Open de Espana which was gained on merit for topping the Santander Golf Tour standings winning4 times this season as well as 3 Top 10's & 7 Top 25's on LETAS. Lauren was born in Sevres, France to French & Dutch parents and resides in Paris. Started playing the game of golf at an early age and would win multiple Dutch National titles at all levels as well as play in the Youth Olympics in 2018 for The Netherlands one of Lauren's favourite experiences.

In 2022 on LET Access Series at Flumserberg Ladies Open Lauren Holmey would win the event as an amateur at -8 by 1 shot to Patricia Isabel Schmidt a brilliant achievement. In 2022 Lauren would finally turn pro after the win and would have 3 runner up finishes on tour at Hauts de France, Trust Golf Links & Big Green Egg Swedish Matchplay (lost to Schmidt in final) which would gain her card to LET in 2023 where she finished 49th at Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco in her first ever start but as the season goes on Lauren would openly admit about struggling to come to terms with the relentless nature of tour life but comes with experience. Fast forward to 2025 Lauren would have 3 Top 10 & 7 Top 25 finishes on LET Access Series finishing 15th overall & would win 4x Santander Golf Tour events in Avila, La Coruna, Girona & Sevilla with Vanessa Knecht. With Final Stage LET Q School just around the corner this week at Real Guadalhorce is ideal preparation for the talented 22 year old.

Joining me on this episode it was a pleasure to be joined by 2020 AIG Women's Open champion Sophia Popov who bares all in this incredible raw and honest story about the highest highs of winning in a remarkable fairytale story at Royal Troon to finding out finally after 3 years she was diagnosed with Lyme Disease.  Sophia was born in Boston, Massachusetts but moved to the Karlsruhe district in Germany at the age of 4 where she would compete in numerous competitions as a German player although has now stayed in Arizona for a number of years. Sophia would have success in her earlier years representing Team Europe at 2009 Junior Solheim Cup which included Leona Maguire & Klara Spilkova, she also won the 2010 International European Ladies Amateur Championship. Sophia would go to University of South California representing USC Trojans and would play a part of 2x Espirito Santo Trophy's & 3x European Ladies' Amateur Team Championships for Germany and won 2x Vagliano Trophy's for Team Europe as well as winning numerous collegiate titles. In 2014 Sophia would turn pro at her home event on LET at German Masters and would win both a LET card & LPGA card for 2015 before disaster struck the early signs of fatigue, multiple pains and lack of appetite left Sophia feeling pretty frail and it would take 3 years to have a diagnosis of deadly Lyme Disease and now raises much needed awareness on Lyme Disease as an advocate. In 2020 while on Symetra Tour just before the height of Covid 19 Pandemic it would come at a great time for Popov as it meant being still able to practice fully in her state of Arizona where Cactus Tour mini tour events were still taking place for player which included some top LPGA pros from Arizona area including 3x major champion Anna Nordqvist & Carlota Ciganda playing a couple. This gave Sophia a platform to stay competitive and it would pay off winning 3x Cactus Tour events before Tour Golf made a comeback and would finish well at Marathon Classic which would get Sophia into 2020 AIG Women's Open at Royal Troon, the rest as they say is history as Sophia Popov would overcome all the odds to complete a truly remarkable feat coming from unknown pro to Major Champion defeating Jasmine Suwannapura by 2 shots to etch her name in the history books forever, truly one of the most unbelievable tales.  This year back playing on Epson Tour in Arizona would see Popov win Carlisle Arizona Women's Classic just a little over a year after giving birth to her little girl Maya and what makes the story even better is Sophia won the event on Mother's Day of all days to win in front of her daughter.   Please be sure to share this fantastic episode around as we try to tell the full story of Sophia Popov.

In this episode I was joined by Mexican pro Fernanda Lira who has joined from back in Mexico City ahead of a sponsors invite into this week's Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba, the first Mexican event on LPGA Tour in over 8 years. We talk about how prestigious the Mexican events are for the likes of Fernanda, Gaby Lopez, Maria Fassi & Isabella Fierro and the lasting impact of LPGA legend and former World Number 1 player Lorena Ochoa has had on the development for future Mexican players.  Fernanda is from Mexico City and started playing the game at about 6 years old due to the old Mario Golf game along with her brother and went to University of Central Arkansas winning events at college level at UoCA and was Freshman of the Year in her time there where she would also meet her now husband Ryan Shuttleworth who caddies on the LET with Alexandra Swayne currently. Fun fact Fernanda adopted a street dog called Poncho. Fernanda turned Pro in 2019 and would win in 2020 on Women's All Pro Tour at Crown Colony Challenge and would also win on WAPT in 2021 at Mountain Ranch Championship. Fernanda's biggest triumph would be winning 2021 Firekeepers Casino Hotel Championship in Michigan on Epson Tour defeating Isi Gabsa, Sophia Schubert, Danielle Iacobelli & a certain 2x Major Champion and former best player in the world Lilia Vu by a whopping 6 shots. At the end of 2023 Fer would finish T5th at LET Final Q School to gain status for 2024 where she had her Rookie season on Ladies European Tour with best finishes of T22nd at KPMG Women's Irish Open, T32nd at Lacoste Ladies Open de France and T33rd at Amundi German Masters.  Fernanda not only plays this week in Mexico on a sponsors invite but she also got a sponsors invitation to play the next LET event at Tenerife Open in 2 weeks time at Abama Golf.  Download & Like/Subscribe via Podbean, Apple Podcasts & Spotify.

In another player interview I was joined by Ladies European Tour pro and the very talented Moa Folke who called in from back home in Tranås, Sweden before flying out to South Korea for Aramco Series Korea then the European swing in the summer. Tranås is also where Kajsa Arwefjäll was originally brought up.  A representative of Landeryds Golfklubb, Moa would go to Murray State University in Kentucky where she would be a 4x Ohio Valley Conference 1st team selection as part of Murray State Racers and was named Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year for 2017 whilst also competing at NCAA Championships twice.  Moa would turn pro in 2018 and would win on Swedish Golf Tour in 2019 at Tegelberga Open defeating Linn Grant & Emma Svensson by a whopping 6 shots. At the end of 2021.   Moa would gain her LET Card at Final Q School for the 2022 season and at Dromoland Castle for KPMG Women's Irish Open Moa would be the 36 hole leader after shooting at -10 62 on Friday. In 2023 in the Sunshine Ladies Tour Folke would win Dimension Data Ladies Pro-Am at -8 by 3 shots to Annelise Caudal, that would set up for a good run on LET with 2 runner ups at Joburg Ladies Open and Lacoste Ladies Open de France as well as T9th at KPMG Women's Irish Open. In 2024 by Moa"s own admission was worse as she admitted trying to force things after a good 2023 ultimately leading to finishing 38th on LET Order of Merit. In 2025 it's been a solid start for Moa as she would post a respectable T14th at PIF Saudi Ladies Intl in a high quality field, was in contention at Australian Women's Classic before unfortunately a final round 77 propelled her to T27th then T5th at Ford NSW Open in Woollongong. She currently sits in 21st on LET Order of Merit standings and with a big European run coming up hopefully we will see Moa challenging more often. Great player even better person. Lovely and down to earth.    Download via Podbean, Apple & Spotify and be sure to like and subscribe. Thanks

It's the first women's major of the year at The Chevron Championship where it will get held in Texas for the 3rd year in a row at Carlton Woods as World Number 1 Nelly Korda looks to defend her title and World Number 2 Jeeno Thitikul is the single priced favourite to capture a first major title. This Jack Nicklaus course is playing about 6,911 yards which by Ladies standards is super long so off the tee and distance will be key and elite iron play will also be a factor.  I was joined by Scott Mader to dissect who we think has what it takes to become the next Chevron champion while going through majority of the names at the top's chances while also giving our plays further down the board in what should be an interesting Chevron!

Polly would keep her status on LPGA for 2024 and would start off slow before a respectable T21st at Ford Championship in Arizona would occur before playing 2 Majors at Chevron & KPMG PGA Championship at Sahalee CC. In the summer Polly would have a good run of T39th at CPKC Women's Open in Canada, a career best T5th at Portland Classic  and T14th at Kroger Queen City Championship which would help elevate her to 72nd in last year CME standings.  We learn about Polly's detour when travelling to Australia after finding out last minute that she was in the field for Blue Bay LPGA in China having to literally go through passport control then to go back out again in the other direction, the life of a professional Golfer right there folks..

Since she gave up tour life she has become a successfully qualified Chiropodist with her own business, plays golf again at County level in Kent & is happily married with hubby John and has 2 kids now!  Danielle recently got the chance to start up on a new venture with the Going OB podcast with Craig Purves where she would co-host after a successful episode together.    Download and like via Podbean, Apple & Spotify and be sure to give Danielle some loving after a good episode!

As the LPGA Tour returns this week after a 3 week hiatus I was joined by New Zealand born Aussie pro Hira Naveed who returns to the scene of her career best finish of 2nd at last year's Ford Championship in Arizona over the road at Seville Golf & Country Club where she challenged the world number 1 Nelly Korda finishing 2 shots behind the best player in the world.   Although born in New Zealand, Hira spent majority of her childhood in Perth, Australia and went to University in Los Angeles where she ended up finishing 5th in the all time scoring list with 73.59 and would be a part of the 2019 Palmer Cup side for Team International which they would win against USA. In 2019 Hira turned Pro before the disruption of 2020 where she was cut off from any sort of tournament play but played on Epson Tour in 2021 with a career best finish on Epson of T4th in 2022. Hira would meet well renowned Golf Coach Chris Mayson and would certainly work towards improving. Hira would gain her LPGA Tour card for 2024 season after finishing T15th at Final Stage Q School in 2023.   Last year Hira made her bow at LPGA Tour level and had a few Top 20s and she even admits that it could have been better but still a respectable 72nd finish on the Race to CME Globe standings to keep her card. So far Hira has started with 3 straight cuts made including a 8th placed finish at Saudi Ladies International in Riyadh and returns to the state of Arizona where she is very comfortable with having played a heap of events in AZ on Epson Tour & openly admitted she loves playing in hot weather and desert golf.   Downloads via Podbean, Apple and Spotify!

As the episodes keep coming I was joined by Ladies European Tour caddy and one of my favourite people in the world Jordan Chatt as he phoned in last week from Coffs Harbour to give us an overview of the week, course conditions at the time as well as the aftermath of Alfred Cyclone and it's effects. Jordan started caddying in 2018 starting as a 16 year old lad caddying for in his own words 'Rich Americans' and developed a love for caddying and helping players reach their potential afterwards. Jordan would alongside Annabell Fuller qualify for AIG Women's Open at St Andrews last year in what would be his first major and the most special one as it sadly was one of the last times his late mother would see him on the course. As of this year Jordan started the first few events in Morocco, Saudi & Taiwan with experienced winner Perrine Delacour learning different things along the way before bagging with Megan Dennis for last weeks Australian Women's Classic where they unfortunately missed the cut. Hopefully will see more of Jordan on tour this year!  In a short space of time Jordy has developed into a good friend and it's great to see him out there doing well even with the dodgy accent ha ha!

In one of the most open, honest and heartbreaking interviews I've done so far I was joined by 2x LET winner Jana Melichova who is currently still recovering from a back injury that required some surgery with Jana hoping to make it back on tour to defend her title at Dutch Ladies Open in May as only recently of late has she been able to start hitting balls again!

In 2022 Jana Melichova would make history by becoming only the 2nd player from Czech Republic to win on Ladies European Tour having won Czech Ladies Open by a shot defeating both fellow home favourite Klara Spilkova & the experienced Nicole Broch Estrup what makes it more impressive is Jana was still an Amateur! Shortly after turning pro in 2022 Jana's life would change forever with the sad unexpected passing if her beloved mother and Jana bravely opens up about the impact that this tragic unfortunate event has played a role in her life and how she is trying to become more open and honest about it with the assistance of a Mental Coach. For at least 10 mins Jana bravely, fearlessly and amazingly fully opens up about the last few years and I have nothing but pure respect and admiration to her for that! It was written in the stars in May of last year at Dutch Ladies Open as Jana would win for the 2nd time on Tour on what would have been her mothers 60th Birthday weekend so it was a highly emotional victory for her and let out floods of emotions as she capitalised on the mistakes of Kim Metraux coming down the stretch to win for 2nd time!

He would be on the bag at 2021 Solheim in Toledo for partner Madelene Sagström, be on the bag for the superstar Ludvig Aberg in Rome where Ludvig & Hovland famously defeated Koepka & Scheffler 9&7 and was on the bag with Anna Nordqvist this year. 2023 was a great year for Jack with getting the bag of the promising talent Ludvig Aberg and was able to share alongside 2023 Ryder Cup win also 2 individual wins together at Crans Montana for Omega European Masters and a stunning victory by Ludvig at RSM Classic on PGA Tour.

In what is the 25th player interview this year for the podcast I was joined this time by new DP World Tour card holder & 2x Sunshine Tour title winner Robin 'Tiger' Williams as he phones in back home in Stellenbosch after playing the first event as a fully pledged DP World Tour player last week in Brisbane at BMW Australian PGA Championship. We find out about his experiences on Sunshine Tour over the last couple of years as well as finding out all about his meet up at 2018 Junior Ryder Cup with the big cat himself Tiger Woods who Robin is named after! Although Robin was born in town outside of Stellenbosch in South Africa's picturesque Western Cape.

In another player interview special I was honoured to be joined by one of the pioneers of the LPGA Tour in 7x LPGA Tour Winner, Major Winner & 6x Solheim Cup participant Angela Stanford as we discuss what led to the decision to retire from full time LPGA competition after 24 years on Tour as well as finding out about her incredible journey that has had lasting impressions with everyone on LPGA Tour! A self confessed late bloomer to the game Angela was born & raised in Texas and went to Texas Christian University (TCU) participating in 2000 Curtis Cup in England before turning Professional shortly after that. Angela would win her first LPGA title in 2003 at LPGA ShopRite Classic then follow it up with a 2nd place finish at 2003 US Women's Open at Pumpkin Ridge GC where she was narrowly defeated in a Playoff. Wins would also occur twice in 2008 at Bell Micro Classic & Lorena Ochoa Invitational (one of Angela's favourite ever players). In 2012 in Singapore Angela would win HSBC Women's Champions winning in a playoff. 6 years later at 40 years old after 76 Major Starts and 18 years on Tour, Angela's day of destiny was filled as she would win her first Major Championship at Evian-les-Bains for Evian Championship knocking off the tag of 'Best player never to win a major'. In 2020 Angela would win the last of her 7 titles in her home state of Texas with family in attendance at Volunteers of America Classic.  Angela made the decision to retire at the end of the season and now looks forward to the future with the possibility of still playing on Legends of LPGA Tour.  A perfect role model to the younger generation of Female Golfers and one of the most respected players on the Tour it was a pleasure to chat with Angela Stanford!    If you enjoy the player episodes then please listen, subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts it all helps towards the growth of the show, also be sure to download on Podbean and Spotify.

After a couple of weeks break, I was joined by one of the game's Elite Golf Coaches Chris Mayson who has coached some of the very best players in the game from World Number 1's in Ariya Jutanugarn to Major Champions in I K Kim. Chris played Professionally for a period of time after being a good winner at Amateur level at University. At the age of 25 he would have to give up playing g due to a disk injury in his back which by his own admission Chris was doing things wrong in his own practice and routine. Starting out his coaching route Chris would have at an early stage around 7 very good players to help evaluate their swings etc with before gaining a reputation for being a great mind in the coaching analysis side of things.  Examples of Chris' success is last week Ricky Castillo who would go on to win his PGA Tour card for next year from the Korn Ferry Tour, Chris who has worked with Ricky since 12 years old. Also a few weeks back at Solheim Cup 2 of Chris' players Sarah Schmelzel & Alison Lee were heavily involved in USA's 15.5-12.5 victory over Europe at Robert Trent Jones GC in Virginia!

We talk everything from Barack Obama being in attendance to Allisen watching Lilia Vu clinch the Cup for the US with a brilliant approach at 18 vs Valenzuela to 2 feet to win.  Allisen assesses life on Tour, her 2024 season which has been consistent including 9 Top 25s & a season best finish of T4th a couple of weeks back in Boston for FM Championship, we discuss the life changing week at Pebble Beach in 2023 for US Women's Open and Starting out as a LPGA Tour member in 2022 after finishing T16 in LPGA Q Series in 2021 to win her LPGA Card. Allisen was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii before enrolling at University of South California from 2016-2021 which included 2021 Curtis Cup win for US (went 3-0-0 that week), 2x Palmer Cup Participant in 2020 & 2021 as well as playing in 3x US Women's Opens as an Amateur while reaching a high of 7th in the World Amateur Rankings.

Surely only a matter of time before Corpuz wins more titles.  If you could listen in via Podbean, Spotify & Apple Podcasts that would be great. Appreciate the Support! Enjoy.
