PHOENIX DISABILITY GOLF Charity!

We’re proud to be Scotland’s only charity where everyone can enjoy golf, no matter your age, background, or disability.

For us, golf isn’t just about the game. It’s about bringing people together, inspiring each other, and creating memories that last. Whether you’re brand new to golf or have been playing for years, you’ll always find a place here.  We’ll make sure you feel supported, included, and part of our worldwide Phoenix family . . . more About Us here  

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re all keeping well and feeling ready for another great year of golf with Phoenix.  Whether you’ve been with us from the early days or you’re just joining our community, you’re 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.  We’ve arranged over 5,500 lessons with almost 200 Pros, been supported by 350+ Golf Clubs and Academies and Driving Ranges.  We’ve 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, we’ve also delivered 57 multi‑nation 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.

Here’s 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 world’s 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.  I’m thrilled to share that I’ve agreed to become an Ambassador for Phoenix Disability Golf, and I’m 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, I’ve had the incredible privilege of watching Phoenix Disability Golf flourish, and what a journey it’s 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, I’m absolutely thrilled to take the next step, as an Ambassador for Phoenix Disability Golf and The Phoenix Cup! It’s 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.  Let’s keep growing the game, together!

Gianna Rojas, Founder Adaptive Golf

I’m 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, I’ve spent a lifetime navigating a world that wasn’t always built with people like me in mind.  Growing up in a military family meant moving often, and being the “new kid” 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, I’m proud to be known as the “One-Handed Lady Golfer”.  At Adaptive Golfers, we help individuals shift their mind-set from “Can I?” to “How can I?”—a philosophy that aligns beautifully with Phoenix Golf’s mission of inclusivity and empowerment.  I’m thrilled to join this community and look forward to championing a game that truly has room for everyone.  Let’s 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 sport—it 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.
