Where we deliver is just as important as who delivers. We try to pick the right location for each individual or group we work with.

Training and Education

Upskilling more coaches and volunteers is vital for ensuring inclusive and accessible golf opportunities are available for everyone. The Els4Autism Game On Golf Clinic curriculum covers how golf can help people with autism, how to teach golf skills to individuals with autism and how to structure an Autism friendly golf session.
