The Phoenix Cup Group (PCG)

 

Welcome to The Phoenix Cup Group!

 

We’re incredibly grateful to our supporters and sponsors for making it possible for us to provide local, regional and international opportunities in a wide variety of golf and curling events, usually free of charge, or with very heavily subsidised entry fees! 

 

While currently based in Scotland, the traditional Home of Golf and the World Curling Federation, we have always had an international membership, which is all about bringing together amateur golfers and curlers of all ages with physical, sensory, or learning disabilities. Together, we compete, connect, and celebrate the joy of both these sports.

 

We organise several dozen games each year, but our biggest annual golf event is the Phoenix Cup, which is the world’s first fully inclusive international team competition and is inspired by the Ryder and Solheim Cups.  This first teed off with a friendly multi-nation match play competition at Chippewa Creek Golf Club in Hamilton, Ontario.  This inaugural event saw golfers from Canada and Scotland join forces to create an unforgettable experience.  A ‘Rest of the World team, comprising players from Australia, Ireland, South Africa, Germany, and other nations, travelled to Canada to face off against a North American squad.

 

We arrange over 50 curling games a year, but one of our most memorable adventures was heading over to Canada with a squad to compete in Toronto and Alberta.  We took on the challenge as part of a European Team and also represented ourselves as individuals, playing with existing disability-focused teams and elite teams from across North America.  The camaraderie we built with other disabled groups led to lasting friendships, which came to life last year at the first-ever 4-Nations Team event in Scotland, which was an unforgettable experience under the PCG banner!

 

We've recently underwent another exciting transformation!  All our smaller organizations, games, and administrative groups have come together under the fully inclusive Phoenix Cup Group (PCG) banner. Previously, these groups were known as SDG&C, SDGP, DCS, DICE & VISGA and by merging them into PCG, we've made things much easier to manage, especially since our Committee and Management teams are led by dedicated volunteers with disabilities.  This change also ensures that everyone has a chance to participate and enjoy playing . . . and we are still committed to providing golf and curling games throughout the year!
