This week's guest I'm really excited about, because we last recorded a podcast way back in 2023 and I do encourage you to go back and listen to it, because it's still one of my favourites. But since then, a lot has changed. She can now call herself a three-time tour winner. She became the first player in LETAS history to win back-to-back titles of the Smorum Ladies Open and more recently won the inaugural Allegria Ladies Open. But some things never change. She still has a slight addiction to Kinder buenos and is an all-round gem. No pun intended. Welcome, course, Gemma Clews to LETAS chat. 

Join Gemma as she reflects on her journey in golf, discussing her recent successes, the importance of family support, and the challenges she has faced in her career.

She shares insights on her partnership with her new caddy, Mike Korver and also opens up about her past as a footballer, her school experiences, and her love for the sport, emphasizing the challenges and joys of being a professional athlete.

Thalia Martin is one hell of a woman. After her dreams of tennis stardom were dashed by a recurring injury, she turned to golf- her second passion- which she found by accident after a long waiting time for a restaurant table..

At the older than most but still young, at the age of 20 with a respectable 5 handicap, she decided to see how far she could take her game and it led her all the way to the professional ranks. Where this season she has already accomplished two wins, one on the sunshine ladies tour and one on LETAS at the Maedef Golfs Ladies Open by Saidia Resorts. There she became the first player to win on this tour outside Europe!!

Life on tour has not been without its stuggles, at the back end of 2023 she lost her father to a long term health struggle… but just remarkably kept going, earnt her let card for 2024 and now this season she looks to get her full card back…. With of course her mother, caddy and best firend sitti always doing it alongside her… welcome to LETAS chat... Thalia Martin.
