From Swiss Winters To Stanford Titles To Pro Golf. In Conversation with Stanford alum and 2x National Champion Caroline Sturdza
Description
We sit down with Caroline Sturze right after her first professional win and trace the path that took her from junior golf in Switzerland to national championships at Stanford. We also dig into the real work behind her next chapter, from rebuilding her swing and body to designing a practice routine that holds up under tour pressure.

• adjusting to life in the US, competing in English, and learning Stanford’s culture of excellence
• playing the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and what surprised her about the courses
• Stanford championships, elite teammates, and how the environment raises your standard
• injuries tied to overtraining and a major equipment change, plus the value of rest
