Scottish Disability Golf Open Day at St Andrews Driving Range on Saturday, October 11

PRESS RELEASE
Anyone from your area, with a disability or serious health problem, is invited to attend the following Golf Training Open Day.
Established golfers, or anyone interested in learning how to play, are invited to come along to the St Andrews Links Trust Driving Range on Saturday 11 October from 10am until 2pm to receive tuition from our PGA Professionals.
Jim Gales, the Event Organiser said, "We want anyone with a disability or serious health or mobility problem to come along and give golf a go. The last time we organised an Open day like this, with the assistance of Scottish Disability Sport, we had over eighty people travel to Wellsgreen Golf Academy to learn and receive tuition."
Anyone can learn how to play and disability should not be a barrier to playing and enjoying golf.
The PGA Professionals team on October 11 will be headed up by the Head Professional from Wellsgreen Golf Academy, Donald McKay who has provided tuition for golfers with disabilities for some fifteen years.
Tuition is being provided in St Andrews, alongwith lunch for the participants, for only £10 per person.
Since its launch in 2006 the Scottish Disability Golf Partnership has provided golf and tuition to hundreds of people with various disabilities and health issues, including those with sensory loss, i.e. the blind, vision impaired and the deaf, as well as amputees and those with learning difficulties.
For details about the event or disabled golf generally, contact Scottish Disability Sport 0131 317 1130 or at admin@scottishdisabilitysport.com
