Liz Smylie is an unusual interview choice for a golf podcast.
Of course, she is best known for her exploits on the tennis court – winning four Grand Slam doubles and mixed doubles titles in the 1980s, as well as climbing to No.20 in the world ranking.
What makes her story interesting is she doesn’t play golf at all, but is mum to one of Australia’s most promising golfing talents, Elvis Smylie. This interview could have gone horribly wrong, but as you will hear, it didn’t.
Here is our one-on-one chat with Liz Smylie in Episode #10 of The Thing About Golf podcast.
