Listen now
Description
From the beginning in Woodstock  Ennis to the greens of LSU, our guest, Aine Donegan, takes us on her journey of shifting from team sports to focusing on golf. Aine, a golf enthusiast, shares her story of developing a passion for sports and how her mother influenced her decision to specialize in golf. We explore how playing team sports like soccer helped shape her - honing her discipline, punctuality, and overall wellbeing. Transitioning from team sports in Ireland to college golf in the United States, Aine recounts her experiences. She discusses the journey to Indiana, the effects of the COVID pandemic, and the eventual decision to move to LSU. You'll hear her insights about her gap year, where she found herself working in a factory and how that shaped her perspective on life. Aine also compares the dynamics of college golf to junior tournaments and the significant role of college ranking on team performance and individual players.  Memories of a chaotic journey from the Vigliano tournament to San Francisco come alive as we share our nerve-wracking travel and tournament experiences. From the U.S. Open to a surprising encounter with Lexi Thompson, every moment adds up to our unique adventures. A memorable experience at Pebble Beach, the exhilarating Irish Open, goals, and challenges in collegiate golf, Aine and I explore the exciting world of golf,  experiences, and dreams for the future. You're invited to join us for this heartfelt conversation that weaves the threads of her journey in the world of golf.
