England Golf's Performance Experience Days provided an exciting opportunity to engage with the next generation of talented disabled golfers, with events held at Chesfield Downs (2 August), The Warwickshire (3 August), Sherfield Oaks (6 September) and The Manor, Leeds (11 October).
Across the four events, more than 120 disabled golfers were introduced to the Disability Performance Pathway, gaining first-hand insight into what opportunities exist to progress within the game.
Participants had the chance to meet and interact with members of the England Golf Disability Performance Team, learn more about performance golf, and obtain their EDGA Player Passes, helping them take the next step in their golfing journey.
The events built on the momentum generated by England's summer success at the European Team Championships in Italy, where England won gold medals, using that achievement to inspire and motivate aspiring players.

A special highlight at each venue was the presence of the championship trophies, giving participants and their families the opportunity to see the silverware up close and celebrate the success of England's elite disabled golfers.
The series proved to be a huge success, identifying and supporting new players within the performance pathway while demonstrating the opportunities available for disabled golfers to develop, compete and achieve their potential within the sport.
England Golf Disability Manager Tom Dobson said: "It's fantastic to have the opportunity to build on our recent European Team Championship and Nations Cup successes, further strengthen our commitment to the Disability Performance Pathway, and inspire future disabled golfers to represent England at international events. The Performance Experience Days are also a valuable opportunity to meet new disabled golfers, understand their journeys within the sport, and explore how we can better support their development and participation.
"Through initiatives such as these, England Golf continues to strengthen the Disability Performance Pathway and inspire future generations to pursue their ambitions in the game.
