All Abilities Golf
Overview
Golf Australia works with the PGA of Australia to make golf more inclusive. They focus on including people with disabilities.
Unlike many sports, golf is inclusive by design. In general, very little modification is required to equipment, facilities or the operation of the course to enable people with disability to participate in golf.
We are committed to creating pathways for people with disability by breaking down the barriers to participation within golf through the use of policies, coach and administrator education, development programs, partnerships and promotion.

Golf is a sport that includes everyone. It does not need many changes to help people with disabilities play.
We want to make golf easy for everyone to join. We do this by having good rules, teaching coaches and leaders, and making special programs. We also work with others and tell people about our plans.
