This Golfing Life - Gordon Smart
Broadcaster, journalist and lifelong golf obsessive Gordon Smart grew up Fife, where he learned the game from his grandfather.
In this engaging conversation with host Dan Davies, Gordon shares remarkable stories from a life spent at the heart of sport, music, broadcasting and Fleet Street- but beneath the laughter lies a deeply personal story of resilience.
He also opens up about the devastating period that saw him lose his voice, his radio career and much of the life he'd built during the pandemic — and how walking the fairways of Kinross became the therapy that helped him rebuild.
Along the way, there are tales of Sean Connery and Michael Caine's legendary clubhouse nights, Alan Hansen's house at Royal Birkdale, playing The Old Course in reverse, Fleet Street excess, Scotland's unforgettable World Cup adventure, and why golf is ultimately about far more than the scorecard.
This is a conversation about friendship, identity, resilience and why the game we love has an extraordinary ability to heal.
