Disability Golf

What's it all about?

There are two main organisation for disability golf. Handigolf and Disabled Golf Society.

Both exist to promote the sport and encourage disabled people to get involved. They can help with information on how and where to play and the equipment you might need. They also run events at various courses throughout the country.

Specially designed electric buggies can be used to transport the golfer and clubs to all parts of the course. Their wide wheels create less ground pressure than a walking golfer with spiked shoes. Swivelling seats allow the golfer to play from any side of the buggy but side-saddle shots are the most effective. Seat belts are used to secure golfers with low levels of trunk support.
