Time is Running Out!

Abertay University, Dundee, Scotland and the EDGA are partnered and in the final stages of a research effort looking for golfers with disabilities who are 16 years of age or older to complete a questionnaire that focuses on the effect that golf can have on quality of life and life satisfaction. The questionnaire will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participants will be entered into a prize draw with opportunities to win an Amazon voucher worth £30 or equivalent dependent on currency.

The National Alliance for Accessible Golf is asking golfers with disabilities to access the link below provided by the Abertay research team to complete the survey. We are also requesting organizations, associations, and programs for golfers with disabilities to share this link with your participants.

Let's contribute to this important community research on a global scale by representing and increasing participation. Time is of the essence! Surveys must be completed prior to August 31 by clicking HERE.
