A recent research paper co-written by the President of European Disabled Golfer’s Association (EDGA), Tony Bennett, illustrates the benefits, the barriers and the facilitators to golf participation amongst people with a disability.
Whilst Golf can have a positive impact upon physical and psychosocial health the review, which is published in The International Journal of Golf Science, was written in response to the limited exposure and promotion of its impact on people with disabilities.
The review explores the benefits, barriers, and facilitators to golf participation among this population and provides a modest but accessible resource to help transform golf into a more inclusive and pleasurable activity for disabled people.
