    I can’t speak highly enough of this podcast. I’ve been a listener for a few years, listened to most of them several times and shared them with many of my golfer friends. Kathy is so relatable. No fancy, intimidating language - just good plain English with a bit of humour thrown in. These podcasts definitely give food for thought
