In June, I will be joining The Golf Trust team and Going the Extra Mile for people with disabilities.

On Monday 16th June, we will set off from the home of The Golf Trust, The Shire London and fittingly finish at the home of golf, St Andrews.

In summary,

- 18 rounds of golf

- 6 days

- 5 countries

- 1200 miles

- 150000 steps

There will be people joining us along the route - sharing what impact golf has had on their lives and their community.

We’ve set an ambitious target to raise £80,000 to purchase three Paragolfers for use across the UK to bring the life changing benefits of golf to people with disabilities and trying to meet this ever-growing demand.

We are going the extra mile by making these vehicles publicly available and free to use. 6 years ago, there were no vehicles publicly available. By the end of 2025, it is hoped there will be 13 vehicles in operation. We would love your help to reach that goal.  

It is all part of The Golf Trust's mission to get 50000 people with disabilities into golf (or back into golf) by 2028. There needs to be more Paragolfer vehicles available to create more recreational golf opportunities.

We are delighted to announce the route:

Day 1 - Monday 16th June

The Shire London -> The Players Club, Bristol -> Delta St Pierre Country Club, Chepstow

Day 2 - Tuesday 17th June

Llantrisant & Pontyclun Golf Club -> Pontypridd Golf Cub -> The Beach Golf Course, Holyhead

Day 3 - Wednesday 18th June

Portmarnock Links -> Kirkistown Castle Golf Club -> GreenIsland Golf Club

Day 4 - Thursday 19th June

Day 5 - Friday 20th June

Day 6 - Saturday 21st June

Please donate to support the team or come to cheer the team on if we're at a venue close to you. Help us spread the word and reach our ambitious goal!
