(Ep 218) Louisa Carlbom

In this latest episode I was joined by current LET Access Series pro Louisa Carlbom after a solid start to this season with back to back 9th placed finishes & 3rd on Sunshine Ladies Tour which got Louisa into Joburg Ladies Open on LET where she would finish 38th before a 23rd at Allegria Ladies Open on LET Access.  Louisa is from Onsala outside of the city of Göteborg and began the game of Golf at the age of 6 at Gräppås Golfklubb and would start to compete in junior events at 13. Louisa would win on Ahlsell Nordic Golf Tour in 2019 as an Amateur before joining San Jose State University where Louisa would be a 3x WGCA All-American Scholar and  she would win 20th Landfall Tradition event at Country Club of Landfall in Wilmington, North Carolina. In 2024, Louisa would turn professional and would finish 52nd in her first full start on LET Access Series at Santander Golf Tour Avila, while best finish of the year was 22nd at Slovak Ladies Open. 2025 would see Louisa finish runner up at her home country event in Sweden at Landeryds GK which she admits gave her the confidence and belief for a good season with 3 other Top 10's (4th at Irish), (9th at Lavaux) & (4th at season ending Calatayud) to finish 17th on LET Access Series Order of Merit standings.  A player certainly capable of a win on LET Access Series soon. Wish you all the best for this year, thanks Louisa for the chat.  Downloads via Podbean, Apple Podcasts & Spotify, also on YouTube.

(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.
