Planting the Seeds of Golf: Anthony Etchells’ Journey with Swing Stars
In Episode 13 of the Golf in Society podcast, we sit down with Anthony Etchells, a passionate advocate for using golf to inspire and engage young minds. Since volunteering with Golf in Society in 2018, Anthony has been on a mission to make the sport more accessible and fun for all. Now, he’s taking that mission to the next level with Swing Stars, a new venture aimed at bringing the joy of golf to primary school children across the North East of England.
With funding support from UnLtd and Sport England, Swing Stars is more than just golf lessons—it’s about building confidence, teamwork, and lifelong skills in kids, one swing at a time. In this episode, Anthony shares his journey, the challenges and triumphs of setting up Swing Stars, and his vision for the future of golf in schools. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or golf enthusiast, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical insights into how sport can shape young lives.
