About Golf in Society
We specialise in designing and delivering person centred golf sessions for people living with chronic illness such as Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, Stroke recovery, Loneliness, Depression, and many more age-related illnesses. Our specialised friendly golf sessions help to extend or start the golfing life of our users.
Our golfers do not need to have any previous golf experience. The majority of our service user’s had never picked up a club before attending our golf sessions.
To us it is important that the golf sessions become part of people’s weekly routine, something to look forward to, as well as giving carers the chance to plan their lives, knowing that they can rely on us for their regular respite break.
We look forward to you joining us on this journey.
