What does it really take to compete at golf’s highest level? Tess Hackworthy, a five-time Wisconsin State Women’s Open champion and former LPGA pro, joins us to break down the mental, physical, and emotional demands of life on tour. She shares the thrill of early victories, the challenges of college-to-pro transition, and the surprising truths about the mental side of golf. From fashion on the fairway to the countless golf balls she’s lost, this conversation is equal parts insightful and fun. This is golf like you’ve never heard it before — raw, personal, and packed with perspective.
