All Abilities Program – Golf really does make a difference in a child’s life. Be part of it. Gowran Park is proud to be one of just 18 golf clubs in Ireland delivering an All-Abilities golf program. This special initiative gives young people with disabilities the chance to learn, enjoy, and participate in the game we all love – and most importantly, just have fun. Our group of eight amazing young players, aged 11 to 16, have been coming every week for the past two years initially we were told we would lose 50% of them after three months but to date not one junior has dropped out and parents have told us it is the highlight of their week, such is the joy and fun they have. They’ve made great progress thanks to the dedication of our coaching staff and especially our mentor panel – club members, non-golfing parents, community volunteers who give their time to support each child one-on-one.Seamus Nugent, KRSP, told us that the skills the kids are learning now, will last them a lifetime and gives them confidence and a social outlet that makes an incredible impact on their lives, to the point, they will never forget their golfing journeys with Gowran Park all throughout their lives and will greatly help them deal with the daily challenges they face.
