  • Tisha Alyn Abrea: Building Your Personal Golf Brand
    We spoke with Tisha Alyn Abrea in this episode, who brings a ton of diverse experiences in golf to the table. She’s on a mission to get more women to play the game and show people how much FUN golf is and can be. She is the co-founder of FOREher Sports—more on that in this episode—but is also a well-known golf personality and influencer. She gets real about owning a business, building a personal brand in the golf industry and how she thinks we can grow and evolve the game of golf. Oh, and her dog even chimes in which you don’t want to miss. Enjoy!

  • Pratima Sherpa/Kristen Lappas: Chasing A Golf Dream
    Some of you may recognize the name already, but we had the chance to catch up with Pratima Sherpa, the young lady seeking to become Nepal’s first-ever female professional golfer. Last April, she was featured in the Emmy Award Winning ESPN Documentary, A Mountain to Climb. Raised in a maintenance shed on a golf course, Pratima opens up about her upbringing and what she’s up to now. But the excitement doesn’t end there. We also brought on the ESPN feature producer of A Mountain to Climb—Kristen Lappas. She shared some incredible insight on what all went into this documentary, how it feels to win a Sports Emmy and the special bond her and Pratima now share.

    We teed it up with Suzy Whaley, the President of the PGA of America. And while that’s the title she’s the most known for these days after just taking office in November, she wears a lot of other hats.
