We caught up with Elissa Wilson over Zoom to find out about her role as Volunteer Walk Leader and committee member at Dementia Friendly Prestwick. 

In this episode of Voices of the Walk, Elissa discusses how Dementia Friendly Prestwick has established a successful Health Walk in Prestwick. Their weekly walk is open to the whole community and makes use of the town’s promenade on the Ayrshire coast. 

We find out about what makes a walk dementia friendly and the benefits that being physically and socially active have for people living with dementia. 

Elissa also talks to us about their work to improve the promenade by making if safer, more accessible and enjoyable, not just for people with dementia but the whole community. 

And we also discuss how the group are working to ensure that people with dementia remain connected during the current Covid-19 pandemic. 

Martin visits the birthplace of The Open Championship; Prestwick Golf Club. The club was founded already 1851 but in contradiction to its long history the club has only had seven teaching professionals. The first one was Old Tom Morris and number seven is David Fleming, who is the guest in this fourth episode of Martin Möter.
In addition to the history of The Open Championship David tells the story of Old Tom Morris and his relation to his son Young Tom – a man who was one of the first people to make a living from playing the game. Also listen to the shivering story of how one of Old Tom's decisions would lead to his son's heartbreak and eventual passing.

Martin gästar platsen där British Open grundades; Prestwick Golf Club. Klubben grundades redan 1851 men har trots sin långa historia bara haft sju teaching professionals. Först av dem var Old Tom Morris och nummer sju är David Fleming, som i detta fjärde avsnitt gästar Martin Möter.
Förutom om British Opens historia berättar David bland annat om Old Tom Morris och hans relation till sonen Young Tom – en man som var en av tidernas första att tjäna pengar som golfspelare. Hör också den hjärtskärande historien om hur ett av Old Tom Morris beslut skulle leda till sonens hjärtesorg och sedermera bortgång.
