Katie Dawkins is an experienced and passionate Golf coach, whose human-centered coaching philosophy focuses on helping her students to become not only the best Golfer they can be, but also the best version of themselves.
As Katie attests to, Golf can teach us valuable lessons about life and how we show up in the world. Equally, when we inevitably experience adversity at different times in our lives, Golf can offer comfort, solace and a chance to rethink how we live our lives.
Through the sudden loss of her son, Teddy, as well as living with ADHD, Katie has learned from adversity and positively channels these experiences, to allow her to be the best Golf coach she can be and help others to obtain maximum enjoyment and a sense of belonging within the game.

Golf has the power to change, shape and save lives. That is a view shared by not only ourselves here at GYH, but especially by this week’s guest, Joe Donnelly, CEO of T.A.M.H.I (Tackling Awareness of Mental Health Issues).
Born out of trauma and tragedy, T.A.M.H.I was founded in memory of Joe’s dear friend, Thomas (Tammy) Tucker, who died by suicide in 2009. Based in Northern Ireland, Joe founded the charity in the belief that sport can act as an enabler of raising awareness and encouraging conversations about emotional wellbeing.
Under Joe’s leadership, TAMHI has received widespread acclaim and various awards for their work, most recently winning the Sport Gives Back Social Impact award, presented by footballing legend, Frank Lampard, earlier this year.
This is a deeply moving and inspiring episode, which isn’t short of a few tears shed by both Joe and Kris during the conversation, as well as plenty of laughs, particularly about Joe’s first ever set of golf clubs and the nicknames he got when using them!

This week's guests are Amelia (Mils) Barber and Emelia Whittaker, co-founders of Swingset Sport, a growing online Golf community, which has a mission to support and inspiring current and future generations of Female golfers to get access to, enjoy equality and most importantly, have fun within the game of Golf.
This conversation is a beautiful demonstration of how Golf has an amazing power to bring people together, to deepen existing friendships and learn more about ourselves, both individually and collectively along the way.
As is commonplace at GYH, we bring Wellbeing into the spotlight, with both Mils and Emelia sharing their experiences of living with ADHD, and how Golf has helped them on that journey.
We hope you have just as much fun listening to this episode, as we did in recording it for you.

In this episode, we come to you from Royal Porthcawl, where we welcome Mike Harris back to the pod.
Mike is a respected figure in Golf media. He has spent decades in and around the Golf industry and the world of Golf content, in his previous role as Editor of Golf Monthly magazine and now in his expanded remit of Content Director at Future Plc.
As is customary at GYH, we chat all things Golf, Life and everything in between (e.g favourite Omelette fillings).
If there were a theme which sums up this episode, it would be that Golf is diverse. Diverse in terms of the variety of ways in which we play, consume, experience, talk about, watch or engage with the game. At the same time, Golf is changing. Its evolving. It’s on a journey to become more inclusive, even more diverse.
And that, we consider to be healthy.

When 3 bereaved fathers come together, bonded by their shared experience of Baby Loss, amazing things can happen. When Golf is added to the mix, the possibilities are endless.
On Friday 14 June 2024, Kris Lynch, Ben Seabrook and Mike Harris joined forces at Prince’s Golf Club, in Sandwich, Kent, to undertake an all day Golf challenge in support of Sands.
Sands works to save babies' lives and ensure that anyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss gets the support and care they need, in a way that works for them, for as long as they need it.
Through their fundraising efforts and thanks to the wonderfully kind donations of family, friends and followers, the boys raised over £1,800 for Sands.
This podcast episode is a raw, emotional and vulnerable account of three Fathers’ grief. It also a humorous, self deprecating and often slapstick account of three average Golfers having spent 14 hours trying to whack a small white ball into a tiny hole, multiple times over until their bodies and minds scream “No More!!!”.

When life gives you Lemons, make Lemonade. Or better still, Play Golf.
Reflecting on his childhood in the UK, Rob Jansz has fond memories of playing Golf with his family and friends, having fun and not taking life, nor the game itself too seriously. Then Life happened.
In the intervening years between going to University and then moving overseas to Barcelona, Spain to start a business in the Hospitality sector, Golf took a back seat in Rob’s life. He barely gave it a second thought.
That remained the case, until in 2021, when Rob experienced burnout. He needed to step off the treadmill of life and tread a different path, to find his way again. The path he chose? The fairways of the Golf course.
Since that fateful day in 2021 - which involved 36 holes of Golf and a deeply “profound experience” - Rob has been “reinventing” his relationship with Golf ever since. Not only is he loving being back out on the links again, he’s finding his people while doing so.
Through the creation of Smyle Golf, Rob is establishing a community of Golfers who enjoy some of the finer things the game has to offer. Moreover, through Smyle and through the design, creation and distribution of Habits Scorecards, Rob is introducing Mindfulness practices to the game of Golf.
As Rob explains, there’s much more to Golf than simply how many shots you took to get the ball in the hole. It’s equally important to keep track of what and how you’re feeling, whilst out on the course…

What has the everyday golfer got in common with someone who’s played at the elite level, been a teammate of Rory Mcilroy at the Junior Ryder Cup and teed it up at Augusta National? A lot more than you’d think…
Beyond his Golfing accolades and talents, both as a player and as a Golf Fitness specialist, Dr Zach Gould is a humble and honest character, who is not afraid to be vulnerable.
In both his formative and adult years, Zach has been dealt his fair share of bad breaks and found himself embedded in the rough on more than one occasion. However, as Zach explains in this fascinating and insightful conversation, adversity isn’t the end of us, it’s a stepping stone to new beginnings.

Alex Frolish enjoys a unique vantage point when playing Golf. As an airline pilot, Alex is an international jetsetter with a difference. When traveling, Alex doesn’t sit idle on stopovers. With his Elevation Golfing Nation alter ego, he resourcefully uses his time to head out to play local golf courses, combining a love of the game, with a passion for Golf writing and a deep respect for Golf course architecture.
Conscious of the environmental impact of his work, coupled with an entrepreneurial spirit, Alex has founded EGN Golf as an online Golf retail business, selling innovative, sustainable golf products.
Yet, of all the talent and skills he’s acquired along the way, it’s his inclusive outlook on Golf and Life, which we at GYH consider to be his finest attribute.

Golf is many things, to many people. To Craig McKee, Golf is a release.
Following the passing of his daughter, Danielle, Craig has found solace in Golf. Out on the course, he has space to reflect and to remember Danielle, calling on her for inspiration as he stands on a tee box or lines up a shot.
Moreover, Golf has presented him and his family with opportunities to raise important awareness around DiGeorge syndrome (22q11 deletion syndrome), a rare and relatively unknown genetic disorder which affected Danielle throughout her life.
Through organising and running a charity Golf day at Elderslie Golf Club, the McKee family have raised vital funds in support of Max Appeal, a UK based charity whose mission is to try to ensure that every person with DiGeorge syndrome lives as independent and prosperous a life as possible.
At GYH, it’s our honour and pleasure to be helping in some small way, to raise awareness for a condition, which, after Down Syndrome, is the second most common genetic condition and one that very few people seem to have ever heard of.

Golf is more than just a game. It’s a metaphor for how you live your life.
Few people are better placed to talk about this, than Robin Chodak.
As a keen golfer and as someone who has experienced more than her fair share of grief and loss, Robin’s life purpose is to inspire and offer hope to others. When her husband, Gerry - a passionate and talented golfer - died suddenly in 2019, Robin felt determined to honour his life and memory.
Through continuing to embrace and enjoy Golf and all of the life lessons it can teach us, a moment of enlightenment came upon Robin. Feeling compelled to inspire and help others on their grief journey, Robin wrote and published her book, Ten Grief Lessons from Golf.
In this enlightening, engaging and inspiring conversation, we pull out some of the key themes from Robin’s book and unpack how we can all apply these life lessons in our game of life and our game of golf. This is an episode not to be missed.

Growing up, Golf was one of several sports competing for Ben Seabrook’s attention. In more recent years, Golf has had a much greater influence on his life. For Ben, golfing in solitary confinement is a perfect tonic.
Join Ben and Kris for a wide ranging chat, encompassing topics such as grief, mental health and baby loss. There are also some lighter hearted subjects, such as forgetting to pack clean underwear, casting aspersions on rival football teams, rescuing dogs from Skegness and “speaking your truth”.
