She played on the LPGA for 25 seasons, becoming a household name to fans of women's golf. Coming from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to attend Texas Christian University, little did Kris Tschetter know what life had in store for her. As a Division 1 player, she searched the Fort Worth area for a regular practice facility, eventually joining Shady Oaks Golf Club. It was there that she was befriended by Shady Oaks most famous member and indeed one of the finest players to ever swing a golf club. Of course, that member was none other than the legendary Ben Hogan.

In this episode, we chat with Kris Tschetter about her career on the LPGA, including some of her favourite experiences and cherished memories. She takes us back to life in a camperized van, trekking across the United States, playing golf and listening to the radio. She then shares with us a little bit of her experiences on the practice range with Ben Hogan -- the player renowned for spending hours hitting golf balls, perfecting his swing (as much as one could). She tells us of the experience and of the time that he made a surprise visit to support her at the US Women's Open played at the Colonial.

After retiring from the LPGA, she became active in setting up a charity, and spending time with her family. She would eventually join the Legend's Tour and take some time to write a book about her personal experience with "Mr. Hogan". You won't want to miss this treat.

Should I get my child into golf? Or should I let them discover golf on their own? How early is too early? Or what should I do as a parent to support my child in golf?

These are just some of the topics that renown golf teacher Michelle Holmes shares with us in this episode. As golf grows in popularity throughout the world in places like the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, and Colombia among many others, one of the biggest areas of growth involves children and young people. As more and more children are brought into the sport it means that parents need to play an active role in supporting their children as their children embark on the journey of golf.

Some will join golf simply to play for fun, or to play with their friends who are learning the game too. Others will play because their parents want them too -- and others still play the game, dreaming of being like Brooke Henderson, Lydia Ko, or Lexi Thompson. Perhaps its Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, or Jordan Speith that they admire. Regardless, many parents are asking themselves how to best encourage and support their child as they take up this difficult, challenging, and extremely rewarding sport.

You will want to listen in as Michelle Holmes shares her experiences in teaching and coaching children and parents in managing this journey.
