<p>This week, I’m joined by <strong>Sandra Gal</strong>—LPGA winner, Olympian, Solheim Cup player, and one of the most recognisable names in German golf.</p><p>She’s had an incredible career on paper—but this conversation goes beyond that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sandra opens up about:</p><p>🧠 What reaching her limit taught her about pressure, identity, and stepping back</p><p>💬 Why walking away from the game was the hardest—and best—thing she’s done</p><p>🧘 How meditation, stillness, and self-reflection helped her reconnect with herself</p><p>🎨 The role of painting, nature, and slowing down in finding emotional balance</p><p>⛳️ And what it really means to play from a place of joy—not pressure</p><p><br /></p><p>If you’ve ever burnt out, freaked out, or quietly unravelled while still showing up like everything’s fine—you’ll get a lot out of this.</p><p>Give it a listen, pass it on, and if you’re enjoying Fairways & Feelings—hit follow, rate it, share it, all that good stuff. It genuinely helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>📲 Follow Sandra on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesandragal/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@thesandragal</a></p><p>📲 Follow Florio Golf on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/florio_golf/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@florio_golf</a></p><p>📲 Sandra's website: <a href="https://sandragal.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://sandragal.com/</a></p>

<p>This week, I’m joined by Eva Rogers, a teaching professional at Medinah CC. </p><p>She has been nominated to Golf Digest's “Best Young Teacher,” list multiple times, and is someone who’s coached more junior golfers than most people have had hot dinners.</p><p>She’s built a reputation as one of the best junior coaches in the world—but this conversation goes way beyond grip pressure and swing planes. We do talk about junior golf, but also get to know her on a deeper level as well.</p><p>Eva opens up about:</p><p>👶 What teaching thousands of kids has taught her about failure, frustration, and emotional growth</p><p>🎯 Why confidence isn’t something you have—it’s something you learn</p><p>🔄 The pressures juniors are facing today—and how parents can either help or harm</p><p>💬 How her own journey shaped the way she shows up</p><p>🏀 And yes, a surprisingly passionate take on early-2000s NBA legends</p><p>Whether you’re a coach, a parent, or just someone trying to be a bit less hard on yourself, there’s something in here for you.</p><p>Give it a listen, pass it along, and if you’re enjoying Fairways & Feelings—hit follow, rate it, share it, etc. It genuinely helps.</p><p>📲 Follow Eva on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/evarogers_golf/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@evarogers_golf</a></p><p>📲 Follow Florio Golf on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/florio_golf/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@florio_golf</a></p>

<p>Join me as I sit down with <strong>Marco Penge</strong>—DP World Tour player, 2023 Challenge Tour No.1, and a guy who makes golf look way easier than it actually is.</p><p>From dominating as a junior to earning his place on the DP World Tour, Marco’s rise through the ranks looks effortless on paper. But, as I found out in this chat, there’s a lot more to it than what you see in the headlines.</p><p><br></p><p><u><strong>In this conversation, Marco opens up about:</strong></u></p><p>⛳ The pressure of being a top amateur and how performance anxiety nearly pushed him away from the game</p><p>🧠 A recent health diagnosis that finally gave him clarity on how his mind works</p><p>⚖️ The truth behind his recent suspension and the public reaction that caught him off guard</p><p>🏌️♂️ What it’s really like playing an entire season with something hanging over you that you just want to escape from</p><p>🔙 Why his comeback isn’t about proving people wrong—it’s about proving something to himself</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Give it a listen, send it to someone who’d love it, and don’t forget to subscribe (because I’d quite like to keep doing this).</strong></p><p><br></p><p>📲 <strong>Follow Marco on Instagram:</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/marcopenge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@marcopenge</a></p><p>📲 <strong>Follow Florio Golf on Instagram:</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/florio_golf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@florio_golf</a></p>
