Solheim Cup Drama, Shane Lowry’s 11-Shot Win & Walker Cup Heroes | For the Love of Golf
For The Love Of GolfShow Notes
In this episode, Iona is fresh from the Solheim Cup at Bernardus and takes us inside Europe’s dramatic victory. Iona and Dan discuss the redemption of Charley Hull and Lottie Woad in the Sunday singles, the rookies who rose to the occasion and why some players seem to come alive when it comes to match play.
They also celebrate an incredible week for Shane Lowry, who returned to the winner’s circle with a dominant 11-shot victory at the Irish Open, 17 years after famously winning his home Open as an amateur.
Then, Walker Cup-winning captain Dean Robertson and Josh Hill join the golf club to relive Great Britain & Ireland’s remarkable comeback at Lahinch. Josh takes us inside the moment he holed the winning putt on the 18th, while Dean reveals what it was like watching it all unfold as captain.
And, after proving very popular in our first episode, Golf Dogs is back! Iona and Dan meet three four-legged members of our growing golf club.
