#193 JOLF is 15 (15.53mins) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today, JOLF turns 15. ❤️⛳ On 10 September 2011, after months of writing, planning and wondering whether the idea would actually work, we delivered JOLF for the very first time. Fifteen years later, we’re still here — although JOLF looks very different. In this special birthday episode of The JOLF Man, Neil looks back at where JOLF came from, why it was created and how the thinking has evolved through 15 years and tens of thousands of experiences with children and families. From an original golf-
#192 Review of the summer (25:10mins) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Review of the Summer ☀️⛳ The JOLF Man Podcast is back! We haven’t recorded much over the summer — mainly because we’ve been rather busy actually doing JOLF. In this episode, Neil is joined by Owen and Lewis to look back on an incredible summer that saw more than 2,000 children, parents, grandparents and family members playing JOLF across Sussex.

Another incredible school year comes to a close, we thought we’d sit down, look back and reflect on everything we’ve achieved. Joining me are our awesome JOLF coaches, Lewis and Owen, to share some of our favourite memories, biggest challenges and funniest moments from the year. We’ve visited 65 schools, introduced more than 15,000 children to golf, and seen some truly inspiring journeys.

We’re coming towards the end of another busy summer term. We’ve still got a few more JOLF Days to deliver, our final JOLF Nurture sessions to complete, and one last SEND Family JOLF session before we head into what promises to be a fantastic summer. Over the holidays we’ll be out in the community with JOLF in the Park, Boogie in the Bandstand, Mid Sussex District Council Play Days, and plenty of other opportunities for children and families to have a go at golf. But today, I wanted to talk about
#189 What do children really think? (25.19mins) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do children really think about JOLF? Rather than telling you ourselves, we thought we'd let them do the talking. During our recent JOLF Day at Southbourne Junior School, three Year 6 Sports Leaders grabbed a microphone and interviewed the children taking part. There were no scripts, no rehearsals and no prompts—just honest conversations. The result is a wonderful insight into what children value, enjoy and remember most about their JOLF experience. I hope you enjoy listening.
