Norwood Park Golf Centre PGA Professionals Tom Warnock and Pete Lockley hold weekly coaching sessions with MENCAP Nottingham

Norwood Park Golf Centre have helped introduce the game to groups with disabilities.

PGA Professionals Tom Warnock and Pete Lockley have been delivering weekly coaching sessions with MENCAP Nottingham and have progressed onto supervised play on the par 3 West Wood course.

Lockley said: “We are thrilled to work with MENCAP Nottingham, they are so enthusiastic and have developed so much over the many sessions here at Norwood.

“Our members are particularly supportive and also understand our ethos ‘Golf for All’.

“I personally really look forward to our coaching days with them, it is a privilege to pass on our knowledge of golf, but the social interaction they really enjoy, which I know from the many thank you cards they send me.”

Warnock will also be supporting WINGS School in Kirklington over the coming months. The students aged nine to 17 are on the autistic spectrum and require specialist educational settings.

“Achieving Inclusion Together”, drives a vision that disabled people are active for life. It builds upon the success of the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) and sets out the goals for the future. The Golf Foundation supports this vision by ensuring support for disabled people to enable them to participate.
