The Disabled Golf Society would like to extend huge congratulations to those who have been selected to represent England (and Wales) at Slaley Hall on 7-9th October against Scotland. Our thanks to those who tried out at the qualifiers and were disappointed – there’s always next year. The team who are representing England are great ambassadors for the Disabled Golf Society in what it tries to achieve. With regulars members who have supported the DGS throughout the year, with a range of disabilities and coverage around the country. Graeme Robertson is the non-playing captain and is hugely proud of being selected for England in this role.

The Disabled Golf Society are looking into the possibility of having a mobile golf simulator to encourage and promote golf to people with disabilities. Visitors would be able to enter the specially design simulator to try out the latest equipment available to disabled golfers. Fitted with the latest technology, Astro turf and a large LCD screen to give the impression of golf course, visitors would be encouraged to knock a few golf balls down a fairway and try their hand at putting. With Disabled Golf Society staff and coaches on hand to give advise where necessary, the simulator is a great opportunity for anyone with disabilities, to try golf.
