St Andrews Links Trust has announced the launch of a new Disability Golf Programme that is set to be introduced at the Home of Golf this summer.
Disability coaching sessions will be hosted at the St Andrews Links Golf Academy and will be available to anyone with a physical, sensory or learning disability, regardless of background or ability.
The sessions, delivered in an 8-week block from July-August, will cost £10 per session, per person, and will provide a fun, safe, and inclusive environment where participants can learn the fundamentals of the game or develop their existing skills.
This programme follows the success of disability golf taster sessions that the Trust hosted in March and April as part of Scottish Golf’s Community Disability Hub Programme.
David Watt, Head of Golf Academy at St Andrews Links, said: “We are delighted to be launching the Disability Golf Programme and hope that it will support golfers that live with a disability, whether they are complete beginners or looking to improve on existing experience.
“The feedback we received following the disability taster sessions earlier this year was overwhelmingly positive, and this highlighted the benefit that an ongoing, tailoredprogramme here at the Home of Golf would bring to the disabled golf community. We are excited for the sessions to kick off this summer and are happy to be taking another step towards a more accessible future for golf in Scotland.”
Sessions will focus on all key aspects of the game and will be delivered by experienced St Andrews Links Golf Academy instructors in a supportive and encouraging setting. Players will be grouped by experience level to enable everyone to get the most out of the lessons.
Those interested in participating can register via the St Andrews Links website, after which a member of the Golf Academy team will follow up with booking confirmation and payment details.
