(Ep 219) Rebecca Earl

In this latest podcast episode I was joined by 2019 English Women's Amateur Strokeplay Champion Rebecca Earl who comes off a solid start to this year with a top 10 at Blair Atholl on Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa, T25th at Madaef Golfs Ladies Open in Morocco, T35th at Allegria Ladies Open in Austria both on LET Access Series as well as winning Rose Ladies Series event at Formby Golf Club a terrific achievement! Rebecca is from just outside of Chelmsford outside of London and started the game at the age of 11 where she joined Bishop's Stortford Golf Club but currently represents Princes Golf Club. In 2019, Rebecca would become the English Women's Amateur Strokeplay Champion before going to Wofford College in South Carolina where she would win 3x Individual NCAA DI Collegiate events before finishing off her final year at University of Houston in Texas. Rebecca would also finish runner up at 2023 English Women's Amateur Strokeplay.  Rebecca would turn pro in 2023 and would have a T12th at Santander Golf Tour Avila. In 2024 her best finish was 53rd at GET Golfing on LETAS proving just how difficult at times Golf can be at the highest pro levels something Rebecca was very open and honest about to her respect. In 2025 would see a T15th at Madaef Golf's Ladies Open, 48th at Czech Challenge & T13th at the prestigious Rose Ladies Open but would also see a run of 13 missed cuts out of 16 events although a very frustrating period it was important to find out how to deal with such adversity.  2026 has been a much better start for Rebecca and I wish her all the best this year in her push to the Ladies European Tour. Thanks for the chat and being open through some of the hardships. Download via Podbean, Apple & Spotify, also on YouTube.

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.

(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. In 2025 would see Rosie turn professional and would ply her trade on LET Access Series starting off with a 7th at Santander Golf Tour Avila alongside a couple of solid top 30's at Rose Ladies Open & Hauts De France (both T29th).
