    (Ep 213) Brittany Lincicome (2x Major Winner)

    It was a pleasure to be joined in this episode by 8x LPGA Tour winner including 2x Major Championships, 6x Solheim Cupper for USA & 2024 Solheim Cup Assistant Captain Brittany Lincicome as she took time to speak from Florida from a busy schedule as we discuss Solheim Cup, her fantastic career and more. Brittany nicknamed 'Bam Bam' is from Saint Petersburg in Florida but resides in Gulfport right next to the water and would take up the game at 9 and has been known for her length off the tee for a long time. She made her professional debut in 2005. In 2006 she would win World Matchplay Championship, 2007 would win Ginn Open, 2011 would see 2 victories at Shoprite LPGA Classic & Canadian Open and in back to back years in 2017 & 2018 would see Brittany win Bahamas Classic.   Nothing is in comparison though to winning Kraft Nabisco in 2009 & ANA Inspiration in 2015 both known now as Chevron Championship 1 of the 5 Major titles in Women's Golf! Brittany talks about the impact of winning 2 Major titles and getting the privilege to jump into Poppy's Pond twice! Brittany would also be only the 5th female player to play a PGA Tour event at 2018 Barbasol. Brittany has participated in 21 matches across 6 Solheim Cups for USA and managed 7 Wins, 12 Losses & 2 Halves winning the biennial trophy 4 out 6 times and would also be part of Stacy Lewis' assistance at 2024 Solheim Cup at Robert Trent Jones where USA were victorious!  Overall, Brittany has made over 400 LPGA starts, making 315 cuts while winning 8 times & 66 Top 10's in her established career. It was a great chat and I was her all the best in her semi retirement and going forward with opportunities outside of playing! Be sure to download via Podbean, Apple & Spotify, thanks everyone!

    (Ep 212) Jane Turner on Purple Day Epilepsy Awareness!

    In what is a special episode of the podcast released on 26th March it is Purple Day which is Worldwide Epilepsy Awareness Day I was really pleased to be joined by LETAS title winner & 2x Sunshine Ladies Tour winner Jane Turner on what is a really meaningful day for Jane and over 80,000 other Epilepsy sufferers in Scotland alone. We find out what Purple Day is and what it means to Jane while also finding out that a young girl from America who has the same condition is her idol and is competing as a golfer at U10 Under Armour Championships. Inspiring stuff!!   Jane is from Penicuik in Midlothian which is not far outside of the main city of Edinburgh and turned professional in 2013 after a successful junior/amateur career including winning British Universities Championship twice, Scottish Ladies Strokeplay Championship, R&A Bursars Ladies & representing Scotland Teams. In 2017 Jane would win Bossey Ladies Open on LET Access Series winning in a playoff then win twice on Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa in 2019 & 2020. Plying her trade between LET & LET Access Series as time went on Jane admitted that her Epilepsy caused a major setback in her career. In June 2025 Jane would undergo major brain surgery to successfully remove a brain tumour and is working extremely hard to get back ready to play Professional Golf again to make the start of a comeback story! I have my fingers crossed that Jane can get the chance to compete again on the Professional Tour. It was a pleasure to chat with her and I wish her all the best going forward, good luck!  I also commend Jane for her bravery in discussing a really emotional part of her life!

    (Ep 211) Hannah Karg

    Joining me in this episode live from competing on Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa was talented German LETAS pro Hannah Karg after a solid rookie season on tour finishing 20th on LETAS Order of Merit standings & 4th on Rookie of the Year standings in a season that contained 2 Top 10's 4th at PGA Championship & 3rd at Super Bock Open.  Hannah is from Hamburg in Northern part of Germany and took up the game at the age of 3. Hannah has been part of prestigious Hamburger GC Falkenstein since the age of 14 one of the best courses in Germany and still has lots of fun playing for Hamburger. In 2016 she would win German Girls Championship and in 2017 would win Scottish Girls' Championship in Montrose.  In 2020 Hannah would move to Baylor University in Texas winning a couple of collegiate events there including Trinity Invitational win in 2021. In 2023 would move to Coastal Carolina University to focus on becoming one of the best players and would win 2023 The Southern Invitational. In 2024, Hannah would win German Women's Strokeplay event to become a national champion at both Girls & Ladies levels.  Hannah would turn pro last year in 2025 and would finish 20th overall in the LET Access Series standings as well as 4th on Rookie of the Year standings. A solid start but ultimately looking to go even better this time in 2026. Thanks for your time Hannah and all the best in Morocco for the start of LETAS season in April.

    Caddy Series Ep 10 (210, Jan Meierling)

    After a long time of trying we finally managed to get LPGA Tour major winning caddy and all round good guy Jan Meierling on the show for a chat!  A former pro himself Jan has had great success as a pro caddy and is going into his 6th season alongside 2024 KPMG PGA Championship winner Amy Yang who Jan & Amy have a fantastic relationship together on and off the course which makes one of the best combos on tour!  In 2024 at Sahalee Country Club for KPMG PGA Championship would be one the greatest achievements for Jan as he would help Amy navigate a very tricky golf course into winning a major championship in her 18th season as a pro player! A remarkable achievement! Thanks a lot Jan for taking time to come on I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with you and fingers cross that potentially could see a 3rd win together this year on LPGA Tour!  Download via Podbean, Apple & Spotify, thanks for the continued support!

    In this episode I was pleased to be joined by Slovakian LET Access Series pro Katarina Drocarova ahead of the season opener in Morocco next month after finishing inside the top 60 on LETAS Order of Merit standings in 2025. Katarina is from the town of Pezinok just outside of the Slovakian capital city Bratislava and is a 4x Slovakian Amateur Strokeplay Champion & 2x Slovakian Matchplay Champion. She would take up the game at the age of 7 with her dad and sister in a competitive sporting family. Katarina would represent Slovakia at 2x Espirito Santo Trophy, 10x between European Girls' & Ladies' Am Team Championship, 2x Young Masters as well as winning 2016 Croatian International Amateur.  Katarina would go to University of Denver for her studies and would have some successes during her time at Denver helping the teams sucess whenever she can and winning some individual awards.  In 2024, Katarina would turn pro and would have 4 Top 20 finishes with 2 7th placed finishes at her home country event in Slovakia & Lavaux in Switzerland. In 2025 by her own admission it was a rollercoaster season with struggling with some technical issues throughout but still managed to finish 9th at Czech Challenge & 3rd at Slovakian Challenge in Brezno!

    (Ep 208) Colin Ramsay Returns!

    I was pleased to be joined on the podcast for the second time by Colin Ramsay after the release of his 2nd book A Belter of a Caddy which focuses on the late Edinburgh Jimmy who had a great career on tour caddying for the likes of Paul McGinley & Ian Poulter. The book followed up Colin's first book release A Golfers Bucket List of Scottish Golf Courses.  Colin is a Scottish Golf Course enthusiast who over his time has amassed over half of 550+ Golf courses and still plays in his own time. Colin had a book launch recently for the release of A Belter of a Caddy with a big 130+ people turnout at Musselburgh Golf Club with a very special guest on the night in the one and only Paul McGinley sharing loads of stories of Jimmy from his time on tour!  One of the good guys in life.

    (Ep 207) Michaela Vavrova

    In this next episode I was pleased to be joined by one of Slovakia's best players in LET Access Series pro Miska Vavrova after a solid 2025 season which saw 5 Top 10 finishes including 3rd at Allegria Ladies Open in Austria, 4th at Himmerland in Denmark, 5th at Hauts De France, 9th at Islantilla Open in Spain & 9th at Lavaux in Switzerland. It also included a T21st at Czech Ladies Challenge where Michaela was in the final group in contention playing alongside the one and only Sára Kousková and although it wasn't the finish the Slovak star was wanting it was an experience that will live long I the memory especially after Sara winning back to back LET titles at Jabra Ladies Open & Tenerife Womens Open.  Michaela also known as Miska is from the small town of Bojnice in Slovakia and would play the game through her grandparents at an early age. During her junior career Michaela has played multiple times for Slovakian National Team at European Ladies Am Team Championships & played at Le Golf National at 2022 Espirito Santo Trophy. Michaela is a 2x Slovak Player of the Year and 2023 Slovakian National Champion. During her time at University of Nebraska, Miska would enjoy her time there and would win Big Ten Sportsmanship award in 2024. Before Michaela would turn pro in 2024 she would finish T12th at Czech Ladies Challenge in 2022 on LETAS, would gain a start at 2023 Belgian Ladies Open on LET and would finish 2nd at her home country event in 2024 on Access Series. 2025 would see Michaela finish 18th on LET Access Series Order of Merit standings after some solid displays. We also talk about Slovak golf and how she has high hopes for more Slovakian talent to come through to join her & Katarina Drocarova on LETAS tour with some advice to any players looking to take up the game in English & in her native Slovakian. Had lots of fun and laughs in the episode with Miska and I wish her all the best in South Africa for the warm up on Sunshine Ladies Tour before LETAS season kicks off in Morocco in April. Thanks Michaela for a great chat. Download via Podbean, Apple Podcasts & Spotify, also on YouTube!
