(Ep 178) Dorota Zalewska
Episode Notes
After a little bit of a break I was joined by Poland's history maker in Dorota Zalewska who became the first ever Polish player to win a tour card on Ladies European Tour in 2024 gaining 3 top 20's in her rookie season & held the lead at this year's Dutch Open at Goyer.
Dorota is from Szczesin, Poland and started out the game with her father at the age of 10 at Modry Las GC and has won Polish Junior Championship, Polish Matchplay & Polish Amateur Ladies Open. Dori went to University of Tennessee at Chattanooga winning 4 times at Chattanooga including NCAA Raleigh Regionals in 2023 and has represented Poland at 4 Espirito Santo Trophy's & 2 European Ladies' Amateur Team Championships.
Growing up Dori played numerous sports including Tennis where we eventually talk about Polish sports people including now 6x Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek, Hubert Hurkacz & the legendary Robert Lewandowski. Dori speaks about her admiration for everything that Iga Swiatek has done in Tennis for the whole scale of Poland. We also have a chat about Makaron z Trustkawkami which is effectively Pasta with Strawberries & Cream which came into the spotlight recently as Swiatek's favourite meal.
I want to thank Dorota for coming on and being a pleasure to chat with. I wish her all the best in her quest to keep her playing privileges for the next season.
