- Iona Stephen dropped out of the University of St. Andrews to pursue golf full-time. Three years later, her handicap was an impressive +3. One year after that she turned pro. The meteoric rise in her golf career came to a screeching halt due to a wrist injury.

After listening to this podcast last week I became I big fan of hers. She seems to have a similar approach to golf like Erik does
Very insightful to hear and see how an elite athlete deals with a career changing injury.. physically and emotionally.. feelings from the heart in this interview
Iona is a true adventurer. Rebel even. I'm 70 and I still think on a good day I could beat anybody. Even though I haven't played for years! Keep the faith kidda.
Erik, hard to find someone is cooler than you...but she is!
Completely agree about the wicked slice. I was never an elite hockey player, but hitting a ball is still hitting a ball.
Great insightful conversation. I enjoy Iona's work, plus your's as well Erik......
Iona is awesome! Great interview!
The best podcast episode of 2021. Thanks for this.
But our gain is seeing you as a brilliant interviewer etc in the game xx
Love this kid,great passion for the game and consummate professional. Hope she has a long and successful career,Eric’s not bad either.😉
I listened to the entire podcast in audio form, do you guys not video them in entirely and upload them in full length? I would have loved to see her get emotional about her struggles I feel that really adds to the podcast, her story, struggles and helps us connect. I was really happy and enjoyed this episode, thank you both!
beautiful - love you Iona
This series is super good.
Lovely podcast. Plus three handicap from which tee box, because significant differences?
when are we gonna see the prime Eric again ?
Good stuff. Loved the emotion from her.
i like this
You go girl team up with N.Horan to for the game.
Gorgeous and incredible woman 😍
Iona is so damn likeable. You want o be jealous of her success but just can't.
It looks like she's confused. If you run a google search on her golf results, you'll see that she only competed in one professional tournament, in which she was cut. It was the Qatar Ladies Open. She shot 79 in both the first and second round, and was cut. She claims she was a pro....but competing in 1 event and getting cut? Not so sure that counts as being a pro in anybody's book.
...I think i'll stick with "twinge"
A life departure. Fucking hell Erik lol.
Who’s the sleepy interviewer?
You seem to attract beautiful blonde women!
