Mike Browne, British Royal Artillery Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

Mike Browne is a veteran of the British Army serving time in the Royal Artillery. Mike broke his leg during a routine training exercise that ultimately changed his life forever. Soon after, the broken leg was riddled with infection. Twenty-two operations later, Mike made the decision to have the limb amputated to not only relieve the pain but improve his quality of life. During recovery, Mike noticed a flyer for the On Course Foundation. On Course is a UK and US based origination focused on building personal confidence and sharing experiences of injured and sick veterans through the game of golf. After starting golf in 2014, Mike progressed quickly and in 2016 turned professional. His story is not without its low points, as Mike discusses metal health throughout the podcast. It was an absolute honor to meet Mike and the rest of the warrior athletes at the 2021 Simpson Cup. For now, enjoy Mike's story!
