The Hampshire Disabled Open and European Disabled Golf Association’s President’s Cup are taking place here at Paultons on Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th August 2025.
Everyone is welcome to come and watch these incredible golfers compete in these two prestigious events. We are expected the best local golfers with disabilities and an international field to take part. It will be an incredible demonstration of golf.
Golf is a great sport that anyone can play. It is a recreational sport that has significant physical and mental health benefits, which is why we delighted are delighted to be able to offer opportunities for people with disabilities to try golf at our special taster sessions during the two day event.
If you would like to enter the Championship, this should be done via the EDGA. You can find out more information below.
Competing in G4D
Participants can choose their level of inclusion and, at the most inclusive end of the spectrum, can compete on a level basis in the mainstream sport. Golf’s World Handicap System, variable tee markers and different scoring formats facilitate this opportunity. G4D includes players assessed as being disabled by their National Government and so can compete in events even though they may not have an eligible impairment or meet the minimum impairment criteria as defined by the IPC Classification Code. These players can still enjoy golf fully; however, to compete in international G4D tournaments, players must prove that their impairment limits their ability to play the game against a set of definitions under constant review.
