Listen now
Description
Making the leap from college into professional life is a massive step for any golfer, with the trials and tribulations of Q-School a make or break time for many players as they battle to earn a full Tour card. This week, we speak to two players who have recently been through it all and are now embarking on their maiden season on the LET, as Alex Försterling and Alessandra Fanali share all about their fledgling careers to date. Having both shone on the European amateur stage, the duo met in college in the US at Arizona State University where they both played for the Sun Devils golf team - alongside a certain Linn Grant. After registering a win each in their final season in the States, the pair packed their bags for a gruelling two week stretch at La Manga Golf Club for LET Q-School to both claim their place on tour, with Alex sharing the victory after five days of the Final Qualifier with compatriot Polly Mack. With a number of LET events under their belt in 2023, the duo share their experiences of Tour life so far, as well as some great tales from their college days. Hosted on Acast.
