We continue to offer free membership and heavily subsidised entry to anyone with a physical, intellectual, or sensory disability and our successful annual fundraising appeals, have now provided almost 5000 free golf and curling lessons, over 1500 games and well over 200 HUBS across Scotland. 

Our golf and curling HUBS are now well established and more members and new players attend the HUBS than our regular competitions throughout the year.
