Stroke survivors are being given a chance to get involved in golf with Bromsgrove Golf Centre

Bromsgrove Editorial 9th Apr, 2018   0

STROKE survivors and people with disabilities are being given a new chance to get involved in sport with specially tailored sessions from the Golf Academy at Bromsgrove Golf Centre.

The academy, part of the Golf Centre, has secured funding from England Golf to put on a range of tutoring sessions over summer for both beginners looking to get into the sport and past players who will benefit from returning to the game.

These lessons, created in partnership with the Stroke Association as well as local Life after Stroke Centre (LASC), will provide a chance for service users to get outdoors, learn a new skill and engage with new people at the same time.

Sessions will be specifically tailored to stroke survivors and cost £10 for five weeks, with all equipment provided along with the use of the driving range, putting green and golf buggies.




General Manager at Bromsgrove Golf Centre, Mark Laing, said: “We are delighted to be able to again team up with England Golf to provide these accessible sessions to local stroke survivors.

“Here at our vibrant golf centre, we are always looking for ways to get more local people involved in not just golf, but all of the amazing community aspects involved with being a member. Making new friends and learning to love a new sport is a great combination.”


As well as providing this specialist programme, Bromsgrove Golf Centre has acted as a base for the Stroke Centre Staff, providing out of hours access to emergency boxes should they be required.
