Golf

Golf is a sport for all and can be played by people with all levels of visual impairment. You can play individually or with a group of up to four players for a round.

Those with a more profound visual impairment may require a guide to help position them in order to take the shot. Guides advise on the distance to the hole but it is the player who chooses the club they wish to use and makes the swing. RNC is working together with the England

Golf Partnership to enable you to have the opportunity to play golf both at RNC and back in your home area. This link also helps us to compete in national competitions and we are working with England Golf to develop more national pathways for the sport.

We have a golf simulator on campus and our links with Burghill Valley Golf Club in Hereford help us to give you the best golfing experience, both on and off the golf course and driving range.

Real stories: Matt Spellar

Matt studied NVQ Level 2 Business Administration and braille while developing his golf skills. He continues to play in competitions with both sighted and visually impaired players. On leaving RNC he took up a position in a Golf Club Pro Shop.

“I’m enjoying using my knowledge of golf, together with the business skills I learnt at the RNC. Give it your all at the College and the support and advice you will receive is second to none.”
