Hi All,
As some of you know I was picked to represent England in the Disabled Golf Team last week against Scotland....
I have now done this 12 times, I'm pleased to say I have only lost three matches.
I would like to thank members of the TSG for their support who always do their best to champion disability golf.
Hopefully in the future the sport will enter the Paralympics, 2024 has been set as a date, whether it can be achieved is more about politics than anything else.
The link below is a short item that ITV ran on last weeks event :)

Thanks so much Brigitte. The game of golf has so much to offer all of us, with our hectic life styles, its so good for mental health issues and physical impairment. Some of the disabled internationals have been professional sports people before their disability (two were professional footballers and we have an ex pro cricketer).
Golf gives all of us competition if we want it or just socialising for the friendship and being out in the open air.
Golf is probably the only sport you can play at a very high standard well into older age!
