Some of the players, coaches and supporters who took part in the first round of the new All-Ability Golf Programme at Gowran Park GC
Following a year and half of planning and preparations, Gowran Park GC launched their All-Ability golf coaching programme.
Four wonderful young players, supported by their parents, club volunteers, Kilkenny Recreation & Sports Partnership and Golf Ireland, made sporting history as Gowran Park became the first golf club in Kilkenny to introduce a programme that other golf clubs can adopt in time.
The programme is geared towards teaching children with disabilities, who have little or no golf experience, to learn the great game.
It focusses on their ability, fun, games and golf, all within a safe and child-friendly positive environment.
Gowran Park are one of the Golf Ireland Golf4All hubs who deliver disability inclusive golf programmes for people with disabilities.
Welcoming children through the KRSP to their programme, the club is an advocate for inclusive golf and are a reflective example of the message that golf is for everyone.
The programme is inspired by Paul O’Rahilly, a visually impaired member of Gowran Park, who is supported by club management, the men’s and women’s committees, club volunteers and the junior committee along with resident coach Dominic Bolger.
