This week, I’m joined by Sandra Gal—LPGA winner, Olympian, Solheim Cup player, and one of the most recognisable names in German golf.
She’s had an incredible career on paper—but this conversation goes beyond that.
Sandra opens up about:
What reaching her limit taught her about pressure, identity, and stepping back
Why walking away from the game was the hardest—and best—thing she’s done
How meditation, stillness, and self-reflection helped her reconnect with herself
The role of painting, nature, and slowing down in finding emotional balance
And what it really means to play from a place of joy—not pressure
If you’ve ever burnt out, freaked out, or quietly unravelled while still showing up like everything’s fine—you’ll get a lot out of this.
Give it a listen, pass it on, and if you’re enjoying Fairways & Feelings—hit follow, rate it, share it, all that good stuff. It genuinely helps.
