About this Episode

Episode Warning: Going into this interview, we were not aware that there would be discussion of abuse and mistreatment. We are honored that Olivia was willing to share such a sensitive topic with us but understand that this may be triggering for some listeners. We do provide a warning within the episode as well prior to the discussion.

Our hosts kick off the episode chatting about the ongoing (at the time) virtual AMA tournaments on the Putt18 mat and in Walkabout Mini Golf then pivot a bit to the PopStroke tournament season kicking of in Orlando and AMA members winning a team event. Then it is onto our discussion with Olivia Prokopová, one of the greats of the US putting world. The last time they had chatted with her was right after her winning the USPMGA Master's for the 4th time, tying her for the most Master's tournaments won. When you combine that with 5 US Opens and no one has a better winning percentage in the 25+ years of USPMGA major tournaments. We talk about a variety of topics with her, from her favorite courses to play, how she approaches minigolf when "off the clock", things she'd like to see for professional miniature golf in the future and some of her remaining goals for tournaments. We also end up with some serious talk about a period in her career that presented some challenges and having to overcome them.
