EDGA, the international body that champions golf for people with disability, has unveiled a new international Open tournament for its players, the Southport Golf Coast Classic.

The potential stars of tomorrow – both players and coaches – are ready to shine with the launch of the Leadbetter Kids programme.

Encouraging start to the year

January’s weather started much warmer than 2019, making it the 6^thwarmest since 1884. Rainfall was heavier, while sunshine was similar in the south, but very much duller in the north-west of England and Scotland compared to 2019. Not ideal for getting golfers out of their homes even for this time of the year. However, better than snow!
