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