Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page in memory of David Sheehy.

David Sheehy passed away on 12th February 2021 he will be sadly missed by his loving wife Shirley, his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, his sister and many other family members.

Dave was a passionate golfer so Shirley and the family thought it would be fitting that donations were made to The Golf Foundation instead of floral tributes.

Changing the lives of young people using the power of golf

The Golf Foundation - www.golf-foundation.org

Who we are

The Golf Foundation is a registered British charity established in
1952 by 3 times Open Champion, Sir Henry Cotton, and leading amateurs –
Gerald Micklem, Jack Burroughs and Stanley Oppenheimer – with the aim of
 providing life changing opportunities to young people using the power
of golf. 

What we do

We help young people to ‘Start, Learn and Stay’ in golf by making
their introduction to the game fun, innovative, inspiring, inclusive and
 enriching.

We take adapted versions of the game to schools and community groups,
 introduce young people to golf clubs, teach playing and transferable
life skills and keep young people playing in golf clubs.

Why we do it

We believe that the game should be made accessible to all young
people to enjoy, irrespective of their gender, background or ability.
