As the UK's only golf specific military charity, we hope to use the game of golf as a vehicle for successful recovery with all of our beneficiaries.
Why Golf?
Golf occupies a unique position as one of the few sports where participants of all skills and physical abilities can play together on a level playing field, owing to the official handicap system. It offers wounded veterans not only a sporting challenge, but for those leaving Service, an array of attractive career opportunities.
The benefits of playing golf offer a key part in physical rehabilitation, improving both balance and limb coordination. Camaraderie, competitive spirit and concentration are important too, supporting the psychological recovery of our beneficiaries and helping them find confidence within themselves. Many Service personnel face the daunting challenge of finding employment after leaving the military, something we hope to help them overcome.
