Golfing Bonds: a tee-riffic journey of dads and daughters at Golf in Society

As Scotland started to emerge from the first Covid19 lockdown, two daughters Nikki and Anjali learned about Golf in Society and separately approached us about the prospect of their dads commencing our supported golf sessions.

They both believed it would be a wonderful way for their fathers to continue enjoying their passion for golf alongside like minded people in a dementia friendly environment.

Swinging Past Barriers: Golf's Journey Towards Inclusivity

Golf, often perceived as an elite sport confined to manicured courses and exclusive clubs, has long battled stereotypes that limit its accessibility.

Barriers, both physical and social, have prevented many from enjoying the physical and mental benefits this sport has to offer.

However, the winds of change are blowing, and organisations like Golf in Society are breaking down these barriers, transforming golf clubs into vibrant community hubs.
