Do you want to get involved in Craig Waugh Disabled Memorial International? If so please contact the DGS on 01666 503918, as we desperately need helpers/volunteers/marshals for the event. This event is being supported with the kind generosity of The Waugh Family in Norwich, in memory of their Son, Craig who so tragically died in an accident just as his golfing career had stated to bloom.
The Disabled Golf Society would like to thank the tremendous support given to us at Golf Live. We had a lot of positive feedback from people who where interested in the support we provide to disabled golfers throughout England.
Below are a few images of the weekend.
