Great news! We're inching closer to the LPGA season unfolding in earnest! On today's show Cody and Randy kick things off by discussing their most compelling storylines of 2023 thus far. Then, two guests join the show. First up is Kate Burton, broadcaster and Singapore-resident, to breakdown and discuss the recently completed mini-Asian swing as well as a few other topics (begins at the 32:52 mark). After that, NLU Young Hitter and LPGA regular, Lauren Coughlin, joins the show to discuss how she goes about setting up her schedule. It's an insightful look into the hectic schedule of an LPGA player, including the difficult decisions of where to play, how often to play, when to rest, and how this season's schedule is a doozy (begins at the 1:13:16 mark).
