At its first PGA supervised Golf Training and Tuition day for 2011, the SDGP have just announced that they will be joined by an Energy Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner, who will help individuals to overcome mental and emotional problems associated with the sport.

These free EFT sessions will be available for participants at the Wellsgreen Golf Academy, Kirkcaldy, Fife, on Saturday 9 April, which will run from 09:30 through to 16:00.  There are initially places for fifty disabled golfers and their coaches, guides or carers

Alexa Allen, the EFT Practitioner said, "EFT is a form of do-it-yourself acupressure. With EFT we stimulate the acupressure points with our finger tips, whilst making specific statements about the issues that we feel are getting in the way of our performance; pain, emotion, memory, fear etc. This technique neutralises the disruption in our energy field that is causing the 'issue' and therefore leaves us in a more balanced frame of body and mind."

Jim Gales the SDGP Chairman said, "We are always told that golf is 99% in your head, so this technique should be a popular attraction for our disabled golfers and coaches.  This is certainly something new for the SDGP and if in the end it can save us a few shots and keep out some of the on-course frustrations, then we can only give it a try?"

EFT has been growing in popularity since the early 1990's and has been used effectively, world wide, on a range of issues stretching from serious illness and disease symptoms and causes, to phobias, addictions and sports performance.  You can now find scores of sports performance coaches using EFT in their practices.  For a golfer this may present itself as; tension, emotional memory or reaction, personal problems, pain, inflexibility, first tee jitters and yips etc. Despite what your own personal issues, circumstances or disabilities may be, using EFT can eliminate or at least greatly reduce these obstacles to your game.

At Wellsgreen, the SDGP are providing a golf lesson, use of practice facilities, catering and golf on the adjacent course for each person.  A £20 entry deposit, which will be refunded on attendance, is the only requirement for attendees.

Anyone of any age or golfing standard, who has a disability, serious health problem or mobility issue that interferes with the playing of the game and their coaches, guides or carers can attend.
