Lloyd Saltman’s journey through golf took him from being one of Scotland’s brightest amateurs to competing on the professional stage alongside contemporaries such as Billy Horschel and Rory McIlroy — and eventually to stepping away from playing full time.

In this episode, Lloyd opens up about the emotional challenge of leaving the tour behind, how he navigated that transition, and how coaching and mentoring allowed him to stay connected to the game he loves.

You’ll hear about:

• His standout amateur career, including iconic wins and finishing as low amateur at The Open

• Competing alongside some of the world’s top golfers and what it taught him

• The tough decision to step away from full-time golf and redefine his path

• How coaching and mentoring became his new focus, and the lessons it offers golfers at all levels

• Insights on resilience, identity, and growth both on and off the course

This conversation shows that golf is more than scores or rankings — it’s a lifelong journey that shapes who we are and how we navigate life’s transitions.
