On Saturday 15th June, I will be taking on ‘The Wall’. This is an event organised by the adventure company; Rat Race! ‘The Wall’ ultra is a 70 mile route that follows Hadrians Wall and must be completed within 26 hours.
As the UK's only golf specific military charity, On Course Foundation use the game of golf as a vehicle for successful recovery for its beneficiaries.
This charity has helped me personally since leaving the Army with my physical and mental well-being and so am proud to be able to give them something back to help assist the next veteran who needs some support!
Golf occupies a unique position as one of the few sports where participants of all skills and physical abilities can play together on a level playing field, owing to the official handicap system. It offers wounded veterans not only a sporting challenge, but for those leaving Service, an array of attractive career opportunities.
The benefits of playing golf offer a key part in physical rehabilitation, improving both balance and limb coordination. Camaraderie, competitive spirit and concentration are important too, supporting the psychological recovery for the beneficiaries and helping them find confidence within themselves. Many Service personnel face the daunting challenge of finding employment after leaving the military, something On Course Foundation can help overcome.
