Golf can transform lives.

Anthony and his team turn that belief into action by putting Golf clubs at the heart of local communities. Through the delivery of tailored golf sessions for those living with chronic illnesses such as Dementia and Parkinson’s, the aim is to inspire people to live a happier and healthier life, through the power of Golf.
