Nearly every day for the last year, counsellor Lukas Winward has taken to a golf green and had a heart-to-heart with a retiree or pre-retiree.

“I’d been working with young people and teenagers for 10 years, but my parents retired and my wife’s parents retired, and our friends’ parents retired, and all of a sudden, I started seeing people not doing so well,” he says.
