It is called “Golf Stories” and it is a project that, starting from a rapidly growing sport, wants to tell the stories of characters and life experiences, also allowing us to browse real pages of our recent history.
As we read in the introduction to “Storie di Golf”, «there is a sport that doesn’t shout, doesn’t excite with the cameras, doesn’t ask for immediate performances. It’s golf, and today it becomes the protagonist of an unreleased podcast, designed to tell much more than a simple round on the green».
Conceived and created by journalist Donato Ala Giordano , “Storie di Golf” «was born with a strong and simple idea: every path of life can resemble a 9-hole course. Because golf is also introspection, discipline, relationships. It is a time that you take to think, a slow gesture that can become philosophy, a wrong shot that teaches you to start again».
"Each episode is built like a real match: 9 holes, 9 stages, which retrace the fundamental turning points of the guest's human and professional journey. And just like in golf, the common thread is not the comparison with the opponent, but with oneself."
The first to take up this challenge is Cesare Prandelli , a man of sport, but above all a man of thought. «From professional football to the green, his story is that of someone who decided to stop to start again. Of someone who accepted silence not as an absence, but as an opportunity. «In golf I found what I no longer had in football: the time to listen to myself», says Prandelli with a voice that betrays emotion and lucidity».
In the first episode, between touching anecdotes and intimate reflections, the former coach of the national soccer team talks about the pressures of the bench, his sudden resignation, the moments when he needed the courage to say enough. But also about the meaning of respect, the power of etiquette, the value of humility. All lessons that golf has given him back, shot after shot.
The podcast doesn't just stop at sports stories, but becomes a broader, universal narrative . It talks about human relationships born between one hole and another, about silent friendships, about intimate conversations that only golf clubs can host. "Storie di Golf" presents itself like this: a different, authentic format, designed for those who also look for a key to understanding life in sport. Golf is the common thread, but the protagonists and their ability to inspire, tell stories, and strike the right chords make the difference.
