Walkinshaw Sports partners with Empower Golf Australia

POSTED ON February 2, 2022 @ 3:56 pm

Walkinshaw Sports is proud to partner with Empower Golf Australia.

Empower Golf changes the lives of disabled Australian’s through the game of golf by providing inclusive coaching and clinics, and adaptative equipment and facilities across Australia.

Established in 2014 to address the lack of support, equipment and access for Australians living with disabilities in the golfing industry, Empower have since helped over 15,000 golfers with disabilities access and enjoy the game and continue to change people’s lives through golf.

Walkinshaw Sports

Walkinshaw Sports have been working with Empower for 12 months providing Under Armour polos for their coaches but as we have worked more closely with them it has become clear that the industry network of our team is just as powerful (if not more) for Empower as our product.

Empower Golf Founder, CEO and World Number 1 Quadraplegic golfer James Gribble said “We are very excited to partner with Walkinshaw sports to not only grow our great game but build a dynamic network of specialised All Abilities golf pros providing lessons, clinics, on course support and adaptive equipment. With Walkinshaw Sports experience, contacts in the industry and passion for quality product we know the partnership will be a success.”

WHY YOU SHOULD BECOME AN EMPOWER COACH

If you are a PGA Professional there are significant benefits for you partnering with Empower Golf. Some of these benefits include:

  • Assistance to access the 20% of people in the community who have disabilities
  • Ongoing disability coaching, marketing, billing and administration support
  • Uniquely being able to access individual’s ongoing NDIS funding (for lessons, clinics and equipment) through Empower as they are the only nationally accredited golf provider
  • Specialised grant writing support
  • Enhancement of personal brand and coaching skills
  • Amazing incentives from Walkinshaw Sports for all Empower coaches and over $2500 annually for the top performing coach.
  • Increased support from Golf Australia and the PGA; and

We hope that you will join us on this mission to change the lives of disabled people through golf.
