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”.
