Welcome back to Linked by Golf.

In this solo episode, I reflect on my personal journey through the game—both on and off the course. From managing emotions and expectations to making lifelong connections through golf, this is a look behind the mic at what fuels the passion behind the podcast.

I share stories about:

• Learning to handle emotion while playing

• Some unforgettable experiences, including Royal Dornoch and Wentworth

• Why podcasting, just like golf, has opened doors I never expected

If you’ve ever had a round that taught you more than the scoreboard showed—or you’ve made a golf memory that’ll last a lifetime—you’ll feel right at home with this one.

• Mental approach and emotional control on the course

• Personal growth through the game

• The community and stories built through Linked by Golf
