Notes

The Scottish Disability Golf Partnership is governed and operated by disabled people and is the only group in Scotland which actively encourages and involves anyone of any age, with a disability, serious health problem or mobility issue and their coaches, who wish to play golf and includes amputees, the blind, deaf, those with learning difficulties, downs syndrome, stroke and heart attack victims, wheelchair users and anyone with other similar issues, who wish to learn or play the sport.

The SDGP are also well into their arrangements for the Worlds biggest ever disabled team, Ryder Cup style event, which will take place at the Westerwood Resort and Hotel in July 2011. Each of the 4 teams participating will have 12 golfers and be played over 4 days. Participants will include golfers with all types of disabilities including amputees, the deaf, blind and those with learning disabilities, as well as wheelchair users. The World Team Cup will follow a brand new 3-day Scottish Championship at the Dullatur Golf Club and, thanks to some wonderful support from the 2 host golf clubs and strong sponsorship from across Scotland the SDGP is pulling together a package of golf, a week's hotel stay, and food and golf carts for golfers from around the world.
