9 Holes, 9 Questions with Golf Saved My Life

Sam Pollock - Golf Saved My Life

9 Holes, 9 Questions – Golf Saved My Life is a podcast where we treat nine questions like nine holes and play through someone’s story in golf. Holes 1–3: golfing origins – first memories, early obsession, and the moment the game hooked them. Holes 4–6: their game now – handicap, practice, gear, and the best/worst holes they’ve ever played. Holes 7–9: mindset and life – pressure, mental health, and where they want golf to take them next. Hosted by Sam from Golf Saved My Life, this show is about more than scorecards – it’s about how golf can test you, shape you, and sometimes save you.
