Inclusive Initiatives in Golf
Excellence Golf believes in promotion of Golf for everyone and promoting inclusive initiatives in golf facilities.Golf is continuing to provide more ways and opportunities for golfers with impairments generally, and for Golfers with Disabilities specifically, to participate in the sport, and is supporting initiatives which actively bring individuals of all ages and abilities together in both recreational and competitive environments.

The International Golf Federation and its membership are developing and promoting initiatives which raise awareness of golf as an accessible and inclusive sport and supporting programmes targeted at individuals and groups with impairments to increase participation. Golf is a game that does not discriminate by age, gender, ability, ethnicity and can be played socially or competitively through a variety of fundamental movement skills in swinging a club and moving around a golf course.
