Accessing community groups

We can safely say that 2020 is a year to forget. However, it is not all bad news.

The volunteers of the WDGA have continued to work behind the scenes, and have built a partnership with "Foresight sports", whilst securing "Awards 4 All" national lottery funding, that will enable our wonderful association to access community groups throughout south Wales.

The WDGA feels that golf should be accessible for all, and this project will enable the volunteers to access the wider disabled community groups all year round. We believe that golf can be the driver to bringing communities together.

The Foresight Innovation project will allow us to visit community groups and organisations to offer a taste of golf within any environment. The technology will allow us to deliver innovative technology to new golfers in a fun and interactive way within almost any environment.

We are a PAN disability association, meaning we welcome all. We look forward to meeting a number of 3rd sector community groups that have registered their interest, and if you would like to enquire how we can bring our project to you then please contact our team.

We would like to thank our two partners that have made this project possible. Please click on their links below for more information on their products and services.

ENGLAND VERSUS WALES 2019

Golf is the real winner as Wales retain the trophy

The Welsh arrived in good spirits for this Ryder cup style matchplay bi-annual tournament ,being the holders of the trophy, this year held at Wynchwood golf and country club.

With the pairs taking place on the Sunday afternoon the weather threw a spanner in the works with it being cloudy turning to rain later in the day.

This did not dampen the spirits of the participants and so battle commenced a long afternoon followed with matches going one way and the another, but at the end of the day the score at the halfway point was a dramatic lead of 6 nil to the jubilant Welsh side.

After celebrating liberally that evening we again took to the fairways on the Monday morning to do battle in the singles, new blood came into the Welsh side on this day, and with the weather smiling on us we again took to the fairway’s with the Welsh side requiring just 3 points to retain the trophy and what with England taking the first point available and halving the next ,an upset was suddenly on the cards.

But then suddenly the Welsh changed gear and took all the remaining points available finally winning the tournament FOURTEEN AND A HALF to ONE AND A HALF, one might say some what of a thrashing .

We at the WDGA would like to thank our English counterparts for a well organised tournament and we look forward to renewing battle in the future. When it will be the Welsh who will be the hosts.
