(Ep 217) Canice Screene

Ahead of the 2nd event of the LET Access Series season at Allegria Resort in Austria, I was pleased to be joined by LETAS pro Canice Screene as we discuss a lot of good stuff in the episode including a wild story at the end that you need to listen to!  Canice was born in Croydon area of London and has represented Republic of Ireland since the age of 13. In her own words she has always seen herself as being fully Irish with both her parents being Irish. Canice would start the game round about the age of 4/5 and would start competing at age of 8.  At the age of 13, Canice would win Surrey Rookie Tour & would also win South Regional U18's Championship before going to The States to Boston College and for Boston she would captain the team in the 1st Division for the final couple of years of her time there. Canice described herself as a great captain and enjoyed the responsibility! In 2025, she would turn pro and would start off quite well with 11th at Madaef Golf's Ladies Open and 22nd at Super Bock Ladies Open on LETAS and 32nd on LET at Dutch Ladies Open. At KMPG Women's Irish Open would see Canice finish 37th in her home country event. This year has been a good start having seen a T8th at Madaef Golf's Ladies Open in Morocco & last week coming up just shy of qualifying for US Women's Open at Riviera CC finishing in 5th place. A talented player with a lot of potential and it was a pleasure to speak with Canice with some good laughs had. All the best for 2026.

In 2023, Rosie would represent Great Britain & Ireland at Vagliano Trophy at Royal Dornoch losing 13.5-10.5 but a great experience nonetheless.
