    Episode 15: Goodbye For Now

    After a long break over winter, I’ve decided that I’m going to step back from the podcast until May after I close my chapter in America. It’s important that I prioritise the right things, and I want to make sure that the content that I publish is useful and of good quality! I’m incredibly proud of the journey that I’ve had with Behind the Sunnies: A Champion Golfer so far, and I’m excited to have you all join me on the journey towards professional golf when the time comes. Thank you all for listening so far, and I’ll see you soon to find out what it’s really like behind the sunnies!

    Episode 13: Developing your Game in Off Season.

    After a bit of a break, I’m back and spilling the best way to keep developing your game in the winter! With no competition for a while, it’s a great time to keep pushing your skills and getting after it - even when facilities are limited. I talk through how I go about managing myself and my time during the holiday period, and how YOU can keep making gains and becoming the best golfer you can be! Through trial and error over the years, I’ve cracked what works best for me; I hope you can steal a little bit of something to take away with you from this episode!

Great podcast!

Great to have an insight into the workings of an elite amateur golfer rather than established pros. Jess us engaging and articulate. First class podcast for lovers of amateur golf.
