Bringing Golf to Everyone – Join Us at Liverpool Golf Centre! ⛳💙 At England & Wales Blind Golf (EWBG), we’re using technology to make golf more accessible for people with sight loss, helping to build a stronger, more connected community—even in the winter months. That’s why tomorrow, Monday 10th February, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, we’re teaming up with @bradburyfields to host a golf clinic at @liverpoolgolfcentre, where @toptracer technology will be in use! 📡 Toptracer allows visually impaired golfers to track their shots in real-time on driving range screens, making it easier to stay engaged and improve their game. Whether you’re new to golf or looking to continue playing, this event is a great way to give it a go, meet others, and experience the benefits of blind golf. We will post images after the event to show you what fun everyone had! @golfmonthly @thepga @age_uk @britblindsport @rnib

Proud to be part of making this happen. The goal has always been to get more visually impaired children and young people playing with their family and friends.
England & Wales Blind Golf is thrilled to announce our partnership with @majesticksgc and their Little Sticks program. Together, we aim to introduce more children with visual impairments to the wonderful sport of golf, by working together with schools and having golf as part of the PE curriculum. “Majesticks GC are thrilled to be able to work alongside the England and Wales Blind Golf Association to provide opportunities for young people with visual impairments to access the game of golf in schools. Little Sticks, our headline community impact programme, is proven to be adaptable to all school settings. Working alongside EWBGA, we will be able to bring golf to young people with visual impairments and hopefully inspire them to take up the game. Additionally, the focus on key life skills within Little Sticks will lend itself very well to building teamwork between golfers and guides. We’re excited to expand our programme with EWBGA and look to inspire the next generation of volunteers to guide blind golfers and ensure a strong future for the work of EWBGA for generations to come.” @westwood_lee @ianjamespoulter @henrikstenson @samhorsfield96 @rnib @thepga @rsbccharity @victauk @guidedogsuk @sightresearchuk @andersmankert

@VolSuffolk please can you share with your community.
VOLUNTEER APPEAL - SUFFOLK Can any of our community who are based in Suffolk help one of our members with their enjoyment of golf. We are seeking a volunteer who can help one of our members in the Beccles region of Suffolk. This will involve being a guide on the course, as a ball spotter and also helping on the greens. Guiding is a great way of people staying active, and also being part of the player and guides enjoyment of the game. If you know someone who this might be of interest to who loves the game, but can no longer play or has time to be able to give something back to the game, please contact our volunteers email volunteer@ewblindgolf.co.uk and help EWBG keep people in the game who are losing their sight. @BritBlindSport @guidedogs @RNIB @SuffolkGolf @SuffolkSight @BBCSuffolk @EnglandGolf @iaincartergolf

@flushingitgolf I watched 10 minutes last night and thought it had the same concept of how darts has become. I am sure when the PDC started out and was planning the premier league etc their was doubt from people but look at the crowds darts are pulling in now.
