Welcome to the Fore the Ladies podcast.

Our 30th episode! Baby steps ... Abby kicks off the episode with a Waste Management Phoenix Open short and sweet recap, followed by an interview with Jaye Marie Green. Jaye is a professional golfer on the LPGA Tour and her career has continued to trend upward since her 2014 rookie season. We talked about Jaye’s decision to turn pro upon a successful amateur career and having her dad and brother as caddies. Jaye has faced obstacles in 2020, including a bike accident that required intense therapy, and she shared how that has changed her mindset into this year. Enjoy!

For this Ladies of Golf episode we welcomed a freaking rock star. Yes, really. Elizabeth Nelson is a singer-songwriter for the DC-based garage punk band The Paranoid Style. She is a regular contributor to The Ringer, Oxford American, Pitchfork and The Golfer's Journal. We talked about her love of the sport and its characters, her writing style and how music has a place in golf. Before we get into the interview, Abby recaps the busy weekend for women’s golf, including Tsubasa Kajitani’s victory at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and Patty Tavatanakit’s wire-to-wire win at the ANA Inspiration. Lydia Ko made a huge run during the final round, posting a 62 to tie the 18-hole scoring record at the ANA. Meanwhile, Patty delivered a flawless final round to become the first rookie to win the ANA Inspiration since Juli Inkster in 1984. She put on a clinic AND delivered fireworks, people.
