EDGA’s development programme is continuing to help the advancement of golf for the disabled in emerging golf nations and more established areas despite the challenges of COVID-19 in 2020.
EDGA (formerly known as the European Disabled Golf Association) affiliated to The R&A in 2018 and is the leading organisation in this area, regularly promoting golf for players with disabilities at every level and actively involved in various campaigns.
Aided by support from The R&A – continued funding of £50,000 per annum to EDGA from 2021-2023 was recently agreed – its work has continued apace in 2020, notably in Poland, Ukraine and Ireland. Despite travel restrictions and national and regional measures, EDGA has helped the federations move along its eight step development programme – both in person and remotely.
