In this episode of Linked By Golf, we’re joined by John Johnston — a lifelong golfer whose story reminds us that the game’s greatest achievements aren’t always about scorecards or championships.

A former Maths teacher from Wishaw and proud member of Wishaw Golf Club, John has spent decades playing the game, collecting stories, and building connections through golf.

He shares highlights from his journey, from competing in the Senior Open to shooting an outrageous 61 at the age of 68. But as he reveals, his proudest golfing moment came from something far deeper — honouring his late brother by winning a championship with his clubs.

It’s a conversation about memory, resilience, and the bonds that make golf so much more than just a game.
