This Golfing Life - Danielle Thwaites

Danielle Thwaites, formerly Danielle Masters, was a rising star on the Ladies European Tour, a Curtis Cup player, and a prodigious talent in English golf — until injury and life took her away from the game. In this episode of This Golfing Life, Danielle shares her incredible journey: from picking up her first club as an 11-year-old in Maidstone, Kent, to competing internationally, facing career-halting injuries, and navigating the highs and lows of motherhood — including raising her son Stanley, who was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome.

Now back in love with the game, Danielle talks about her return to golf, her determination to qualify for the AIG Women’s British Open, and how her passion for the sport and life has been shaped by resilience, family, and a relentless drive to enjoy every moment.

Join host Dan Davies as he uncovers Danielle’s stories from life on tour, the adversity she’s faced as a Mum, and her inspiring comeback to the game she loves. You can follow Danielle’s journey on Instagram at @danielle.golfer and on YouTube at DanielleGolf.
