In Part 3 of our four-part conversation with six-time LPGA Tour winner and major champion Donna Andrews, we continue our journey through the most pivotal moments of her storied career—and some unforgettable adventures along the way.Fresh off her first major championship in 1994, Donna reflects on competing in what may be one of the deepest and most competitive eras in women's golf, sharing memories of fierce battles with legends like Annika Sörenstam, Nancy Lopez, Betsy King, and Laura Davies. With her trademark blend of humor and humility, Donna offers insight into what set that generation apart and why records like Kathy Whitworth's may still stand the test of time.We revisit some of Donna's most meaningful victories, including her emotional win at the 1997 Welch's/Circle K Championship and a co-ed triumph alongside Mike Hulbert at the JC Penney Classic—where a cold-topped tee shot and an unexpected win over a young Tiger Woods made for an unforgettable memory.From fishing boat mishaps and casino lessons with Laura Davies to spirited karaoke bus rides through Japan, Donna shares lighthearted stories from overseas exhibitions that cemented lifelong friendships and revealed the camaraderie of life on tour. She also opens up about the difficult decision to step away from competitive golf, the life changes that prompted it, and her seamless transition into broadcasting and teaching.This episode offers a rich blend of laughter, candor, and perspective, as Donna reveals the highs and challenges of a professional golf career—and the importance of faith, family, and finding joy in the journey.

With humor and warmth, she recalls winning her first state titles, learning from her golf-influencing father, and the mentorship she received from legends like Davis Love Jr. and Jack Lumpkin.We explore the influence of her faith, her academic excellence, and the early development of her short game—skills and values that would serve her throughout her career.

In Part 2 of our captivating four-part conversation with LPGA star and major champion Donna Andrews, we dive into the early years of her professional journey and the pivotal moments that defined her rise on tour. From navigating the road in a trusty conversion van with an atlas at her side to staying with host families across the country, Donna shares a vivid portrait of what life was like as a young pro in the pre-GPS era.We explore the grind of rookie life, the lessons learned from traveling, qualifying, and adjusting to life on the LPGA Tour—and then we follow Donna as she breaks through for her first win at the 1993 Ping Cellular One Championship in Portland. She walks us shot-by-shot through that memorable week at Columbia Edgewater and relives the nerves, the fighter jets overhead, and the broken window that helped ease her tension en route to victory.Her momentum builds as she quickly validates her breakthrough with a second win in Tucson just months later, then rides that confidence into her career-defining triumph at the 1994 Nabisco Dinah Shore. Donna candidly recounts the drama of that Sunday showdown with Dame Laura Davies, the wrong club that nearly derailed her, and the clutch putt that sealed her first major title. And yes—she tells the story behind restarting the now-iconic tradition of jumping into Poppie's Pond.With warmth, humor, and deep insight, Donna reveals how her belief in herself evolved, how friendships and rivalries shaped her, and how the unique spirit of women's golf in the 1990s continues to resonate today.This episode is a must-listen for fans of the LPGA, major championship lore, and the timeless stories that define the game.Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.Support the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

#82: [Inside the Mind] Steven Yellin: Get Out of Swing Prison and Stop Violating the Rule Bank for an Effective, Repeatable Swing In this powerful and enlightening episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I'm joined by Steven Yellin, creator of the Fluid Motion Factor and one of the leading voices in understanding the neuroscience of performance in golf. Together, we dive deep into the mind-body connection, the neurophysiological conditions required for a fluid golf swing, and why most golfers unknowingly sabotage their own performance—especially when it matters most. In today's episode, you'll learn: Why your prefrontal cortex (the CEO of your brain) needs to go offline during the swing What it really means to have a quiet mind before pulling the trigger How to check your “threshold of wholeness” with a simple shoulder test The truth about consistency and how to stop recreating what you already own What the “rules of the bank” are—and how violating them leads to inconsistent performance How to train like a pro by focusing on quality of space, not quantity of reps How the depth of your thoughts determines access to the body's deepest intelligence Whether you're an elite amateur or a weekend warrior, this episode will radically reshape how you think about practice, performance, and pressure. Steven's insights are a masterclass in mastering the mind-body connection and unlocking the swing you already have—on command. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Steven Steve Yellin is a renowned golf instructor, author, and the creator of the Fluid Motion Factor, a revolutionary approach to optimizing performance in golf and other sports. With a background in both competitive golf and deep studies into the mechanics of peak performance, Yellin's work bridges the gap between technical training and the ability to access one's best swing under pressure. His Fluid Motion Factor system has helped elite golfers, including PGA and LPGA Tour players, unlock their natural ability by eliminating interference in their mind-body connection. Instead of relying on mechanical swing thoughts, Yellin teaches golfers how to tap into a fluid state of motion, leading to greater consistency and confidence on the course.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: The quality of the space before the swing determines the quality of the swing. You're not broken—you're just violating the rules of the bank. Wholeness is a threshold state of mind where motion flows without interference. You don't need new swing thoughts—you need a new relationship with the ones you already have. Practicing the swing isn't as powerful as practicing access to your best swings. Key Quotes: You're not recreating the swing—you're trying to access what you already own. When the prefrontal cortex goes offline, the swing goes online. Do less. The most powerful message I can give any golfer. It's not what you're thinking. It's how you're thinking it. Fear is the killer in a golf swing.

#76: [Inside the Mind] Dr. Bob Winters (The Confidence Doctor): Building Confidence and Playing Mistake-Free Golf In this powerful episode, I sit down with renowned sports psychologist Dr. Bob Winters - affectionately known as The Confidence Doctor - to explore how true confidence is built, sustained, and reclaimed after setbacks. Dr. Winters explains why confidence isn't something you're born with - it's something you build through competence, commitment, and mental resilience. He breaks down the difference between confidence, arrogance, and false bravado, and why confidence without skill is just noise. In today's episode, you'll learn: Why confidence is earned—not inherited The difference between real confidence, arrogance, and bravado How to recover from slumps, setbacks, and embarrassing mistakes Why your physiology changes your psychology (and your performance) The two mindset trophies you must win before every round How to stop hitting “anyway” shots and start committing with clarity What Hakuna Matata and I can handle this have in common If you want to win your club championship, break 80, or just stop getting in your own way, this episode is a must-listen (and re-listen).

Confidence is a self-fulfilling prophecy Key Quotes: Confidence is the mental and emotional strength to resist doubt, worry, and anxiety—and still move forward. The moment you change your mind, you change your game If you're always looking for others' approval, you'll always be searching. You don't fake it ‘til you make it. You do it until you become it.

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.

“Seeking adventure at every turn. That's always been the through line and it's led me on some really cool escapades. “Growing up in Seattle, Andia Winslow discovered her love of adventure, nature, and conservation at a very young age. Shealso discovered her love of sports and was a multi-sport athlete until becoming fully captivated by the game of golf and its relentless challenge. That dedication led her to play collegiategolf at Yale University and make history as only the fourth African American woman to ever compete on the LPGA Tour. An elite athlete, Andia trained with OlympicHall of Fame Track & Field Coach Brooks Johnson and was invited to join the USA Bobsled and Skeleton Federation in preparation for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. She's also the founder of The Fit Cycle and has been named one of the “Top Trainers in New York City.” Her adventurous path didn't stop with sports. Andia found her voice in the world of voiceover, where she has become an Emmy, Telly, Clio, Shorty, SOVAS, SAG AFTRA Foundation, and One Voice award-winning artist. Her voice has brought life to commercials, promos, video games, narrations, audiobooks, animation, and live events. She's broken barriersin the male-dominated world of sports voiceover, lending her beautifully textured, powerful voice to projects like Nike's U.S. Women's World Cup campaign, Brittney Griner's Coming Home audiobook, the Caitlin Clark tribute, and the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2025 Opening Day in-stadium welcome video. Stepping out from behind the mic, Andia is now also stepping into on-camera roles, including the A League of Their Own reboot, portraying golf legend Ann Gregory in Playing Through, and in HBO Max's reimagining of the Warner Bros. Western classic Calamity Jane. In this episode, Andia shares her incredible journey-a story of adventure, athleticism, advocacy, and artistry. Shealso offers insight and advice for anyone seeking to break into the voiceover industry.
