    (Ep 226) Czech Ladies Open R2 with Emma Spitz & Marta Martin

    After their rounds yesterday I was pleased to be joined by both Austrian star Emma Spitz & 2024 Czech Ladies Open champ Marta Martin after Emma shot -7 to finish -8 to put herself into contention again this week after a solid finish last week at Dutch Ladies Open and Marta shooting a -6 to finish -9 and 4 shots back as the past champions group consisting of Jana Melichova (2022), Diksha Dagar (2023) & Marta (2024) are all on -9 ahead of the final round at Beroun.  Now Emma is someone that I have wanted to chat to for a long time as think she is a fantastic player. She has been remarkably consistent for the last couple of years. Since losing in a playoff to Alexandra Forsterling at the German Masters in 2024, Emma has has a further 11 Top 10 finishes on LET & 17 Top 20's which include some big events like Saudi International & Aramco Houston while also representing Austria at 2024 Olympic Games at Le Golf National. I have maintained for a while that Spitz will win at some point soon so all the best to Emma in the search for her maiden LET title. Marta since her LET title win at Royal Beroun in 2024 by her own admission has been pretty rough in spells openly admitting to struggling with some injuries, mental fatigue and form troubles. She was open in the episode about how tough it was to not defend her title last year in 25' due to injury and also how missing 6 cuts in a row made her question her future in the sport. Marta is starting to play much better now and fingers crossed she can continue some good form as she looks to get back in the right direction. Thanks Emma & Martin for taking some time after your round to come and chat after a mental battle with the weather. Be sure to have a listen in, couple of great chats.

    (Ep 225) Czech Ladies Open Round 2 with Kouskova & Mackova

    After another long endurance test for all the players today with temperatures soaring to 37 & 38 degrees. I was pleased to be joined by 2 Czech superstars 2x LET winner Sara Kouskova & 1x LETAS winner Patricie Mackova as they reflected on their time this week at Czech Ladies Open.  We find out about their 2nd rounds today with Patricie birdieing 2 of the last 3 holes to finish -5 and Sara struggled a little bit today with a +2 round but still nicely inside the cut line with 1 day left tomorrow. We also find out what the week of the Czech Open means to both Sara & Patricie as well as chatting about how Patricie is finding LET this year after finishing 5th on last year's LET Access Series Order of Merit standings to gain her tour card this year and also find out about what the weight of expectations on the Karlovy Vary star after a stellar 2025 which saw her win Jabra Ladies Open & Tenerife Womens Open back to back while also qualifying for final stage of LPGA Q School.  It was an extremely busy week for both Sara & Patricie but extremely grateful to both of them for taking some time to chill out! Thanks Ladies, really appreciate it!

    (Ep 224) Czech Ladies Open Round 1 with Natalie Saint Germain & Jana Melichova

    After a day that so a lot of good scoring at Royal Beroun and with unlimited water & electrolytes needed, after the round I was pleased to be joined by recently turned Czechia pro Natalie Saint Germain who in a group with Trichat Cheenglab & Katharina Muehlbauer shot Even par for the day as she plays Czech Ladies Open on an Invitational she admits that she will have to go on the offensive tomorrow as in her own words 'I have got nothing to lose'. I was also delighted to be joined by a very special player & person and that is 2x LET title winner Jana Melichova. Jana's story is heartwarming after winning 2022 Czech Ladies Open, there was a very emotional victory at Dutch Ladies Open in 2024 not too long after the unfortunate passing of her mother and when she was coming down the stretch in Netherlands all Jana could think about on her mind was her mum. We caught up with Jana on how she is finding returning to Golf after a serious back injury over the past couple of years but Jana seems to be nearly at 100, percent fitness. Such a lovely person and it is so great to Jana back on Tour!  Thank you to both Natalie & Jana for chatting!

    (Ep 221) Alejandra Llaneza

    In what I can only describe as a fantastic but slightly chaotic podcast episode it was great to be joined by 2x Symetra Tour winner, Former LPGA Tour player, 2016 Olympian for Mexico & current LET Access Series pro Alejandra Llaneza who phoned in from Madrid after competing in Santander Golf Tour event in preparation for getting her LET Access Series season for 2026 up and running this week in Czechia after finishing last season in the top 25 in the order of Merit standings which included a win at Santander Golf Tour Avila.  Ale is from the beautiful city of Mexico City and began the game at 6 years old before winning the first of her 7 Mexican Junior Championships at the age of 11. Ale would go to University of Arizona and would win Rookie of the Year for 2007-08 season before winning on Cactus Tour in 2011 as an amateur then turning pro in 2012.  There has been many pro highlights from Llaneza as she comes into her 14th season on tour as a pro with milestones such as winning Silver Medal at 2014 Central American & Caribbean Games in Veracruz, finishing 4th at 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, winning twice on Symetra Tour at 2015 Self Regional Healthcare Foundation Charity Classic & 2019 Garden City Charity Classic, competing on LPGA Tour for 4 years between 2013-17. Also playing in 5 Major Championship events at 3x KMPG PGA Championships, 1x US Women's Open & 1x Evian Championship but nothing I'm sure will compare to the sense of pride of being selected in 2016 to represent Mexico at Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro a truly memorable experience for Ale. Come for the great career journey and stay for the Fruity Taco, dancing to the Macarena & Tequila chat. Not laughed so much in an episode in a long long time Ale was an iconic guest and can't thank her enough! Download via Podbean, Apple Podcasts & Spotify, also on YouTube.

    (Ep 219) Rebecca Earl

    In this latest podcast episode I was joined by 2019 English Women's Amateur Strokeplay Champion Rebecca Earl who comes off a solid start to this year with a top 10 at Blair Atholl on Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa, T25th at Madaef Golfs Ladies Open in Morocco, T35th at Allegria Ladies Open in Austria both on LET Access Series as well as winning Rose Ladies Series event at Formby Golf Club a terrific achievement! Rebecca is from just outside of Chelmsford outside of London and started the game at the age of 11 where she joined Bishop's Stortford Golf Club but currently represents Princes Golf Club. In 2019, Rebecca would become the English Women's Amateur Strokeplay Champion before going to Wofford College in South Carolina where she would win 3x Individual NCAA DI Collegiate events before finishing off her final year at University of Houston in Texas. Rebecca would also finish runner up at 2023 English Women's Amateur Strokeplay.  Rebecca would turn pro in 2023 and would have a T12th at Santander Golf Tour Avila. In 2024 her best finish was 53rd at GET Golfing on LETAS proving just how difficult at times Golf can be at the highest pro levels something Rebecca was very open and honest about to her respect. In 2025 would see a T15th at Madaef Golf's Ladies Open, 48th at Czech Challenge & T13th at the prestigious Rose Ladies Open but would also see a run of 13 missed cuts out of 16 events although a very frustrating period it was important to find out how to deal with such adversity.  2026 has been a much better start for Rebecca and I wish her all the best this year in her push to the Ladies European Tour. Thanks for the chat and being open through some of the hardships. Download via Podbean, Apple & Spotify, also on YouTube.
