Golf can transform lives.

This is a core belief held by Anthony Blackburn, founder of Golf in Society.

Anthony and his team turn that belief into action by putting Golf clubs at the heart of local communities. Through the delivery of tailored golf sessions for those living with chronic illnesses such as Dementia and Parkinson’s, the aim is to inspire people to live a happier and healthier life, through the power of Golf.

Join Kris Lynch and Anthony Blackburn for an inspiring, heartfelt and wide ranging conversation, about Golf, Life and Grief.
