Michael McEwan has spent more than 20 years at the heart of golf media.

As Editor at bunkered, Scotland’s biggest golf publication and one of the UK’s leading golf media brands, he has built a career writing about the game, interviewing some of its biggest names, hosting podcasts, and trying to stay sane while having opinions on golf for a living.

But this conversation goes far beyond golf. Michael has been through a lot, and in this episode he speaks with real honesty about the parts of life that rarely make it into a media bio.

In this episode, Michael opens up about:

✍️ Growing up in Orkney, falling in love with writing, and becoming the kind of child who wrote match reports for fun.

⛳ How golf first got into his life, from 20p putting green rounds to watching Tiger Woods at the Masters with his dad.

🗞️ The early days at bunkered, why he only planned to stay for two years, and what has kept him there more than two decades later.

📱 The strange reality of being visible online, dealing with criticism, and the Rory McIlroy line that changed how he thinks about faceless comments.

🕯️ The experience of miscarriage, the fear that followed, and the part of grief he only fully understood years later.

🧠 How the experience changed his sleep, his mental health, and the way he now thinks about labels, honesty and asking for help.

This is a conversation about writing, golf, fatherhood, grief, hope, and the comfort of hearing someone say the thing you thought you were carrying on your own.
