Our VIP ambassadors
"I’ve seen first hand how much Parkinson’s can limit someone and impact their family. Golf has given me so much, it’s great that people can now use the sport as a way to give to Parkinson’s UK. Whether you’re organising a fourball, quiz or golf day, it’s a great way to come together with friends, family and colleagues and make a real difference to the lives of people affected by Parkinson’s."
"Parkinson’s UK does so much vital work in researching new treatments but they also provide invaluable support for people living with the condition and their families. All of that work is made possible by donations from generous supporters, and through Par for Parkinson’s I really hope that more people will be inspired to organise an event that will support this great charity."
Andy's story
After his Parkinson’s diagnosis, Andy didn’t think he could play golf anymore. He didn't play for 4 years until a chance meeting with Jarlath, another golfer with Parkinson’s.
Jarlath kindly invited him to play a few rounds at the club where he had been a member for several years to see how he got on.
Andy says: "I very quickly realised I had made a big mistake and that I could play perfectly well. I was kicking myself for just giving up playing without trying to see if I could play or not.
"Jarlath is now one of my best friends. We are regular golfing partners and often play as a pair and it is thanks to him that I got back into playing golf. Playing golf is a major part of my social life and my coping mechanism. It gets me out there on the course with other people. I get the social interaction and the physical benefit."
