Planting the Seeds of Golf: Anthony Etchells’ Journey with Swing Stars

Anthony Blackburn, founder of Golf in Society, hosts this thoughtful The Golf In Society Podcast to explore an idea that goes far beyond birdies and bogeys. Here, the fairway becomes a pathway to well-being, focusing on how the sport and its community spaces can actively support healthy ageing. Each episode features conversations with people directly involved in this movement-from caregivers and health professionals to community organizers and, of course, golfers themselves. You'll hear firsthand stories from those navigating the realities of caring for loved ones, offering a genuine look into the lives of unpaid carers who so often go unrecognized. This isn't just about theory; it's about the practical, grassroots work of reimagining golf clubs as vibrant health and social hubs that benefit entire communities. The discussions delve into the intersections of business, non-profit work, fitness, and holistic health, all through the unique lens of the golfing world. Tune in for a series that challenges conventional perceptions, highlighting how connection, purpose, and physical activity fostered on the course can create profound positive change. This podcast provides a quiet, insightful space to consider how our social structures can adapt to help everyone thrive later in life.
