Real Golf Played Seated

Pioneered in Great Britain
History of Handigolf
Handigolf is for physically disabled people who have to be seated to play all golf shots. It was started in 1988 and is now promoted by The Handigolf Foundation, run by true volunteers, many of whom are disabled players themselves.
Celebrating 38 Years of Seated Competition
Buggy Types & Equipment

Paralympic Ambitions
The Foundation continues to campaign for wider recognition of competitive seated golf.
