The Golf Guy Podcast — Hall of Fame Coach Carrie Forsyth

Carrie Forsyth retired last year after a tremendous 24-year run as head coach of the UCLA Women’s Golf Team, where she won 2 national championships and 5 Pac12 championships, and coached many players who are stars today on the LPGA (including Alison Lee, Lilia Vu and Patty Tavatanakit, among others). We talk with Carrie about how she got her start in golf, her junior career in Southern California, making the UCLA team as a walk-on, her decision to go the coaching route, and her Hall of Fame coaching career at UCLA. We discuss the keys to her success at UCLA, what she looked for in her players, her day-to-day role as UCLA coach and how that evolved over time, her thoughts on the seismic changes in college sports (including NIL deals and the collapse of the Pac 12), and her views on the overall state of the women’s game today.
