  • Episode 3 - Inclusive Golf Kildare (solo - Gary)
    Apr 9 2023

    In this solo podcast, Gary discusses a recent coaching group that he has started at Naas Golf Club, with thanks to Sarah Banville of Golf Ireland and Fiach Andrews of Kildare Sports Partnership/Kildare Co Co.

    It is a first of its kind in Kildare, and very thankfully some groundwork had been done by Naas GC member/volunteers pre-Covid. Their training and help each week has been invaluable. After many courses and training days/evenings, Gary began the 6-week "Inclusive Golf Kildare" at Naas Golf Club in February 2023 and the 6th/final week will be taking place soon. If you, or your club/organisation are considering running an inclusive course like this, feel free to reach out to me at gary@garyshawgolf.com or contact Golf Ireland, we can help point you in the right direction!
