In Part 3 of this raw three-part yarn, PGA pro Mark De Jong and I rip the band-aid off what really keeps blokes stuck – shame, labels, depression, and the fear of actually talking.
We get into why casual, non-clinical spaces like golf clubs and “Grab Life By The Balls” brekkies work better than beige pamphlets, why you should tell your mate the truth before you tell your GP a watered-down version, and why blood tests, ball checks, kidney checks and heart checks need to become as normal as a post-round beer.
From spinal fusions to PGA awards, from nearly giving up to quietly saving other men’s lives, this is Mark at his most honest – and a reminder that sometimes your own hero is the bloke staring back at you in the mirror.
If this hits you in the guts, share it with a mate, book your check-ups, and if you’d like to keep these conversations alive, you can support the podcast here:
