Synopsis:
What started as a documentary to showcase Josh Simpson's world record journey to most golf courses played in a year (581+) has developed into an incredible showcase of sport, endurance, inclusion and diversity, disabilities, UK culture, relationships, health, grief and joy.
Communities rally around Josh as he tours the nation full-time in his efforts. On his way he plays with guest stars and hears their stories - from Pro Golfer Jigger who shares his experience of going from the DP World Tour to battling leukaemia for the second time, to the inspirational “world’s fastest blind man” Steve Cunningham, and women in golf champions.
This is a story of loss, overcoming and hope.
Additional Info:
Josh Simpson may look like any other 27-year-old, but his story will surprise you. In June 2023, Josh's mum Sally fell ill. By August, she was gone - cancer
taking her with devastating speed. Just months before, they'd been on holiday together, with no idea how quickly everything would change. Sally lived to give back - volunteering for charities and fundraising for Tapping House hospice. To honour her memory, Josh made an extraordinary choice: he gave up the family business he'd inherited, purchased a motorhome, and set out to break the Guinness World Record for the most golf courses played in a year.
