This week you join me for a sit down with SRV Golf Founder John Payton. John is such a wonderful bloke to speak to and we had been planning on this podcast for six months, but we were finally able to schedule it in. SRV stands for Strength, Resilience and Virtue. The qualities that Johns mother personified during her battle with secondary breast cancer. From these three qualities the beginning of a brand started, and through John's introduction to golf he noticed a clear gap in the market for affordable, quality and longer lasting golf gloves. Every sale on the website leads to £1 being donated to cancer and mental health charities to continue the amazing work that they do day in and day out. Go and follow @srvgolf on Instagram and visit www.srvgolf.com The charities we want to highlight are down below - If you are enjoying the podcast then please leave a 5 star review and share with friends You can see more @birdiegolfclubpodcast on Instagram And pop us an email birdiegolfpod@gmail.com with any questions or enquires you may have !
