Inci is now a renowned presenter and journalist and is a passionate advocate for improving accessibility and inclusivity within golf.
In the video below, Inci has a laugh at her “embarrassing” choice of music, relives the best shot of her life – which saw her retain her LET Tour card – and shares some interesting thoughts on the future of the game.
Dream Fourball?
Difficult question. I would say, Tiger Woods (although I have played with him before… just dropping that in there!), Serena Williams – I think she’s an amazing female athlete and is getting into golf, I know Steph Curry likes golf… I think him! There you go, and me, that’s the fourball.
Favourite Golf Course?
For me it would be the Home of Golf – St Andrews. I just think it’s a really special place. There’s so much history but the experience is just like no other.
Best Golf Shot You’ve Hit?
Back in 2018, I had to birdie four of the last six holes at the Emirates Golf Club – Omega Masters on the LET Tour and it was taking on a line over the corner on the 18th and I struck it out of the middle, I made the birdie and kept my Tour card.
Taking all the pressure into the equation, yes, that was probably the best – that drive.

Worst Golf Shot You’ve Ever Hit?
Oh god, there are way too many. Actually, I remember, I was playing for Surrey and I was off first. It was a driveable par-4… I feel like we might have been playing Walton Heath, and I remember just wanting to hit it so hard to try and reach the green.
I ended up kind of shanking a driver.. More of a semi-shank/top… In front of everyone of all the counties.
Best Tip You’ve Ever Been Given?
For golf – I worked with Graham Walker a little who works with Tommy Fleetwood on short game.
He said, after a bad shot don’t leave it on the note of being annoyed, rehearse what you could have done better so at least you’ve let the emotion out and have rehearsed what you might have done so you leave on a high note.
So…
