  • Dont MAN UP, SPEAK UP.... (re-issued)
    In this re-released episode, Craig sits down with Rikki from @foreheadsgolf to talk about men’s mental health and the role golf can play in opening up those important conversations.
    Originally recorded during Movember, it’s a timely reminder to check in on your mates, ask how they’re really doing, and be there to listen. ForeHeads Golf are all about getting guys together on the course and breaking down the old “man up” mindset — because it’s always better to speak up.
    They’ve got plans to take their message on the road soon, but for now their mission is simple: golf, friendship, and honest conversations.
    If you need help or support, please reach out to your local mental health charities.
