Danny Clark, founder of Florio Golf, understands that talking about mental health isn’t always easy—especially if you’re someone who tends to keep things to yourself. As a former competitive golfer who’s faced his own mental health challenges, Danny discovered that golf became more than just a scorecard; it turned into a way to unwind, reflect, and enjoy genuine conversations without the usual pressure.

Florio Golf was born from a simple idea: to make mental health a regular part of the conversation in golf. The goal is to break the stigma by creating a space where golfers can talk openly, check in with each other, and feel supported, without turning every round into a therapy session.

In final episode of Season 2 of the GYH podcast, Kris and Danny get into all things Golf, Mental Health and much more.
