Welcome to ‘Her Game’, the modern golf podcast bringing you conversations with inspiring women across the golf industry. In this episode, host Georgina Black sits down with major champion Grace Kim at the AIG Women’s Open to talk winning, pressure, preparation and the journey that took her from initially not loving golf… to competing at the very highest level 🤩
Grace reflects on how life changes after becoming a major champion, what she takes from that experience into future events and why, despite the bigger stage, so much of elite golf still comes back to sticking to your routines, trusting your preparation and knowing when to stay patient on the course ⛳️
We also get into the practical side of preparing for a major week, from links golf and changing conditions to equipment decisions, difficult course setups and the small adjustments players make when they know they are facing one of the toughest tests of the season.
Away from the scorecard, Grace talks about the people and brands around her, the growing investment in women’s golf and why having the right support system makes such a difference. We also hear the much more relatable side of life on tour — including her new-found obsession with her lawn, her dog constantly digging it up and why she now has a completely different level of appreciation for greenkeepers 😅
Grace also shares the brilliant story of the young fan who came to watch her wearing avocado face paint, the relationships players can build with fans and why those moments matter so much when it comes to inspiring the next generation of golfers 🥑
Finally, we talk about Grace’s own journey into the game, why she admits she probably hated golf for the first two or three years, how her practice has evolved over time and the mindset she leans on when negative thoughts start to creep in under pressure.
From major-championship confidence to patience, practice and the very human side of life on tour, this is a really fun insight into Grace Kim both on and off the golf course ✨
