Our Vision
Scottish Parkinson's Golf Society is dedicated to creating a safe inclusive environment for individuals affected by Parkinson's disease. We focus on fostering well-being through golf, enabling participants to connect, socialize, and improve physical health. Our society strives to enhance the quality of life while promoting awareness of Parkinson's disease within our community. Together, we make every swing count.
We organise golfing activities in Scotland for our members. Our members are golfers who have Parkinson's disease and their spouses, friends and helpers.
Our society is FREE TO JOIN and members simply pay as they go for any entry fees which we aim to provide at subsidised rates.
