Join me as I sit down with Jean van de Velde. A former Ryder Cup player, European Tour winner, and a man whose name is still whispered whenever someone finds water on 18.
You probably know the story. Carnoustie, 1999. One of the most talked-about final holes in golf history. But what came after that? And who is Jean actually, when you look under the surface? That’s what I wanted to explore.
In this conversation, Jean opens up about:
🧠 The mental aftermath of that Open Championship and how he coped away from the cameras
🥀 Why resilience isn’t about strength, it’s about choosing grace, even when everything’s falling apart
🇫🇷 What it was like growing up in France when golf barely existed and nobody believed he’d make it
⛳ His proudest wins, his hardest losses, and the putter-only walk back down 18
🌱 How he’s found perspective, purpose, and peace, both on and off the course
Give it a listen, send it to someone who’d get something out of it, and don’t forget to subscribe.
