Welcome to Phoenix Disability Golf!
|
Weāre proud to be Scotlandās only charity where everyone can enjoy golf, no matter your age, background, or disability.
For us, golf isnāt just about the game. Itās about bringing people together, inspiring each other, and creating memories that last. Whether youāre brand new to golf or have been playing for years, youāll always find a place here. Weāll make sure you feel supported, included, and part of our worldwide Phoenix family . . . more About Us here
Hello everyone,
I hope youāre all keeping well and feeling ready for another great year of golf with Phoenix. Whether youāve been with us from the early days or youāre just joining our community, youāre most welcome. Our Hubs and games are built on friendship, encouragement, and a shared love of getting out on the fairways and greens together.
Since 2004, Phoenix Disability Golf has grown into something truly special. Weāve arranged over 5,500 lessons with almost 200 Pros, been supported by 350+ Golf Clubs and Academies and Driving Ranges. Weāve played nearly 1000 Games, held 400 Hubs, and seen more than 900 golfers compete in the Phoenix Cup, with more joining us this June. Alongside our partners, weāve also delivered 57 multiānation team events, bringing people together from across the world.
These numbers tell a story, but the real heart of Phoenix is the people, every golfer, volunteer, supporter, and new face who walks onto a tee for the first time. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us keep growing, learning, and laughing together.
Hereās to another fantastic season. I look forward to seeing you all out there.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the golfers, coaches and supporters at The Phoenix Cup at the Home of Golf, it was a truly special opportunity for both teams to play some of the worldās finest courses. While the result leaned in favour of Team Europe, the real victory was for the growth of golf and its players with disabilities. The impact was immeasurable. Iām thrilled to share that Iāve agreed to become an Ambassador for Phoenix Disability Golf, and Iām absolutely delighted to continue supporting golfers with disabilities around the globe. I believe passionately in creating inclusive opportunities across all levels of the game. Looking ahead to next June's Phoenix Cup at Pine Valley Golf Club, I hope it brings even more chances for players of all ages and abilities to shine. Wishing everyone the best of luck for the 32nd Phoenix!

After more than 30 years of working alongside disabled golfers, Iāve had the incredible privilege of watching Phoenix Disability Golf flourish, and what a journey itās been! Seeing our amazing players prove time and again that disability is no barrier to passion, skill, and success on the course, has been nothing short of inspiring. The recent event at St Andrews was a shining example of everything The Phoenix stands for. The level of play was outstanding, the camaraderie was heart-warming, and the spirit of community and sportsmanship, truly lit up every fairway. It was a celebration of talent, resilience, and the magic of golf bringing people together. And now, Iām absolutely thrilled to take the next step, as an Ambassador for Phoenix Disability Golf and The Phoenix Cup! Itās a true honour and an exciting opportunity to champion inclusive golf and help open even more doors for people with disabilities to enjoy this fantastic game. Letās keep growing the game, together!

Gianna Rojas, Founder Adaptive Golf
Iām honoured to accept the invitation to become an Ambassador for Phoenix Disability Golf and The Phoenix Cup. As someone born without fingers on my left hand, Iāve spent a lifetime navigating a world that wasnāt always built with people like me in mind. Growing up in a military family meant moving often, and being the ānew kidā was made even more challenging by looking visibly different. I experienced firsthand what we now call bullying, and those early experiences shaped my resilience and determination. Years later, I decided to pick up a club. That decision changed everything. Today, Iām proud to be known as the āOne-Handed Lady Golferā. At Adaptive Golfers, we help individuals shift their mind-set from āCan I?ā to āHow can I?āāa philosophy that aligns beautifully with Phoenix Golfās mission of inclusivity and empowerment. Iām thrilled to join this community and look forward to championing a game that truly has room for everyone. Letās tee up change together!

It is with heartfelt gratitude that I accept the invitation to serve as an ambassador for Phoenix Disability Golf. Having recently completed my tenure as honorary Captain, I am deeply honoured to continue supporting this inspiring community in a new capacity. The mission of Phoenix Disability resonates strongly with my lifelong commitment to making golf accessible and meaningful for every player, regardless of ability. I look forward to contributing my experience and energy to furthering the reach and impact of your programs. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the transformative power of golf in the lives of blind, disabled, and adaptive players. From my early days caddying in Melrose to coaching thousands of students across decades, I have always believed that golf is more than a sportāit is a bridge to confidence, connection, and joy. Phoenix Disability exemplifies this spirit, and I am eager to collaborate with fellow ambassadors and supporters who share a passion for inclusion and excellence. Together, we can continue to build pathways for participation and achievement. As part of my commitment, I would like to offer my coaching and instructional services to all adaptive players at no cost. With over 60 years in the game, 30,000 lessons delivered, and 45 years dedicated to disabled golf, I am confident I can assist with any challenge that comes their way. Thank you again for this opportunity to serve. I am proud to stand alongside you in creating a welcoming and empowering environment for all who love the game.

Michael & Lisa Reynolds, Pine Valley USA
It has been truly rewarding to see Phoenix Disability Golf evolve into such a dynamic and uplifting community. The recent event at St Andrews captured everything we stand for, exceptional golf, genuine friendship, and a shared spirit that lit up every fairway. Moments like these reaffirm that golf is far more than a sport; it is a powerful platform for connection, encouragement, and honoring the skill and resilience of every participant. As we welcome Michael and Lisa Reynolds as Ambassadors for Phoenix Disability Golf and The Phoenix Cup, we step confidently into an exciting new chapter. Their deep commitment to inclusive golf, along with their leadership at Pine Valley Golf Club, a stunning and genuinely inclusive venue, will play a key role in expanding our reach. Together, we are eager to carry this momentum forward, create new opportunities, and continue shaping a game that is open, welcoming, and truly for all.
