Bem-vindo a um novo capítulo da nossa série de entrevistas no blog, “Golf Journeys”, em que mergulhamos nas histórias de golfistas apaixonados e nas suas aventuras nos greens. Através de uma cativante entrevista de 5 perguntas, queremos celebrar a alegria, o companheirismo e a inspiração que o golfe traz às nossas vidas.
Nesta nova entrevista, temos o prazer de apresentar o nosso novo convidado – o único e inigualável Alissa Kacar from @newladygolfer, a golf media personality, TV and event hostess originally from New Jersey, now living in San Diego.
1- Hi Alissa, how were you first introduced to golf?
I was first introduced to golf by my boyfriend. He loves to play and I wanted to be able to join him in a fun outdoor active sport here in San Diego, and then also have a fun activity we could do together on vacations.
2- Sabemos que os golfistas têm rituais e superstições próprios no campo. Tem alguma rotina curiosa antes do jogo ou um amuleto da sorte em que confie?
I’ve been an athlete my whole life, I played soccer in college and did have a fairly regimented pre-game routine then, but when it comes to golf, I actually don’t. I used to stress about having to warm up before playing but a few years in now, I’m much more relaxed. My goal is to have fun and enjoy the round with the people I’m playing with.
3- Na Lambda Golf, celebramos o amor pelo golfe e a alegria que ele traz. Pode partilhar uma história comovente ou um momento divertido que lhe tenha acontecido no campo?
The highlight of my golfing journey actually just happened last week. I’m playing in the Sentry Pro-Am at Kapalua with Collin Morikawa. First hole, my second shot of the day, I holed out from 160 yards for an eagle, resulting in a big celebration and a high five from Collin. Everyone around the entire course heard about it, and I was asked about it all week. It was a very special moment!
4- Every golfer has a “dream” golfing destination. If you could play a round of golf anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why?
My dream golf destination is Ireland, I’ve played one course there, but I want to travel around the whole country and play more of their amazing courses. Golfing in Ireland is a special experience. It’s challenging and the views are amazing.
5- Que modelo de calçado Lambda Golf escolheria para essa experiência extraordinária?
For Ireland, any style that’s waterproof! haha I like the Verona e Alba styles.
Pergunta bónus: Se pudesse desenhar o seu par de sapatos de golfe de sonho, que características teria? Seja criativo e deixe a imaginação voar!
Definitely waterproof and easy to clean. Comfort for walking courses and there would definitely be pops of color and would include my handle @newladygolfer somewhere on the shoe!
Thank you Alissa!
