Ladies of Golf: Linnea Strom, professional golfer

05/10/21 • 34 min

Linnea Strom started playing golf at the age of five and joined the Swedish National Golf Team shortly after. What is a national golf team? Good question. They don’t tend to exist in the U.S., but are quite popular across the globe! Linnea and Abby discuss this and more on the Ladies of Golf podcast brought to you by the USGA. Linnea had an incredible amateur career, which has transitioned nicely into professional life. She was rookie of the year on the Symetra Tour in 2018 and today has 3 career top 10s on the LPGA Tour. Linnea shares the journey of moving to the U.S. to play collegiate golf, where her power comes from and balancing it all. Enjoy!

Ladies of Golf: Kendra Kawala, Maker Wine

We’re back! Did you miss us? It’s been a busy month hosting our 7th Fore the Ladies Intro to Golf Clinic of 2021 this past weekend. But we’re back and have a great lineup of interviews for you. Just in time for our San Francisco event this weekend, we welcome Kendra Kawala, co-founder of Maker Wine. Maker will be pouring their delicious wines at our San Francisco, San Diego and Portland, Ore., events this season, so we had to hear their full story. Kendra shares her life before Maker, which includes management consulting in healthcare and graduating from Stanford Business School. We learn how Maker selects independent winemakers to work with and why wine in a can is here to stay (and preferred if you ask us)! Kendra also shares how she got into golf and picked it up again once in graduate school, finding Fore the Ladies on a whim and more. We hope you enjoy this podcast brought to you by the United States Golf Association.
