Driving Fore Men's Mental Health

Hi, my name is Steve, the “mental health golf guy” and the founder of the “It’s OK Foundation” In the last year, I have been doing fun (but challenging) golf-related initiatives with the goal of bringing attention to men's mental health issues, creating awareness of supports available and sparking conversations along the way- you never know when a simple conversation can have a meaningful impact for someone.

Please visit www.Itsokfoundation.ca for more details of what we have been working on so far, and to follow along with the journey forward.

Between November 12 to 29, along with my wife Tracy, I will be driving through 18 states, stopping at 18 golf courses (one in each state) and playing 1 hole at each course for a total of 18 holes. 18 holes. 18 states (and two provinces, but who’s counting). 18 days.
