Opening Golf to the World

In our latest episode, introduced by tennis star and R&A Ambassador Daniela Hantuchová, we recap:
- The G4D Open: Some of the best golfers with disabilities descended on Celtic Manor in Wales for The G4D Open. We looked back at a fantastic week of play and highlighted an unusual route into the sport for one of the championship debutants.
- Equipment standards: We visited our golf equipment testing facility at Allan Robertson House in Kingsbarns, Scotland, where the team gave an insight into the rigorous tests that went into ensuring equipment conformed to the Rules of Golf.
- Golf and nature: Our Sustainability team hosted a webcast with contributions from leading figures and advocates for getting more nature into golf courses. I. K. Kim, winner of the 2017 AIG Women's Open, was a speaker at the event and told us why the initiative was so important.
