Episode 9 - Major Feels: Prepping for the U.S. Women’s Open

Send us a text

In this episode of Fairway Fates, Doris and Marie gear up for the U.S. Women’s Open with weather predictions, hair tool debates, and more than a few major feelings. They serve up thoughts on the tournament’s legacy, the not-so-cute realities of entry fees and sponsorship hurdles, and why transparency in women’s golf still matters. From personal growth to fashion choices, it’s a heartfelt (and occasionally heated) ride through everything that makes this major, well, major. As always, expect laughter, real talk, and the kind of golf commentary you won’t find on cable.
