From Ladies European Tour Rookie of the Year to professional golfer, and now one of the most recognisable new voices in golf broadcasting, Amy Boulden joins Di Stewart to reflect on her evolving relationship with the game!

Amy opens up about the mental and financial pressures that eventually led her to step away from professional golf, why she misses competing but not the struggle, and the support her family gave her when things got tough.

She also looks back on winning the Swiss Open after lockdown, the importance of her team-mates and support network, and the full-circle experience of working inside the ropes at the biggest events in golf.

Now broadcasting across the Legends Tour, the Men’s Open and the women’s game, Amy explains how she is learning to trust her instincts as a presenter and commentator — and why live on-course commentary feels so natural to her as a former player.

Plus, Amy shares why amateur golfers should watch more women’s golf, and analyses the European Solheim Cup team after the selections were confirmed last week!
