Lesley Bain
Chair of trustees
I’ve been a member of the DGA since 2012 when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
The DGA got me through some tough times and I feel privileged to be part of this great family.
I’m now in my second term as a trustee and honoured to serve as vice chair.
I’ve met some great people over the years with varying disabilities and they are now my friends.
Golf is a great sport where low and high handicappers play together on a level playing field.
John Riordan
Treasurer
I joined the association in 2011 after hearing about it from a friend. After attending a few events and meeting the people and players I began what will hopefully be a remaining lifetime involvement with such an uplifting and inspirational organisation. So much so that I now immersed myself into helping out as a trustee and any other roles I am able to accomplish in the running of the charity.
Putting a little something back into what has become my golfing passion.
Graeme Robertson
Honorary/founder
DGA has given me the opportunity to play golf again after diagnosis of Primary Progressive MS.
I founded DGA so golfers with all disabilities/abilities can enjoy what golf has to offer – exercise, fresh air, camaraderie and competition.
Alan Baker
South Captain
Since joining the DGA I’ve made new friends which I regard as family. Being a left leg amptee and damage to my right leg it helps me mentally and physically just being in the fresh air.
It’s an honour to be South Captain and Trustee and improve the scope of the DGA
Jane White
DGA has helped boost my confidence, despite being profoundly deaf and using hearing aids, which can make communication challenging. Being with people who don’t judge me for my disability makes a significant difference. I take pride in serving as a trustee, collaborating to make informed decisions to see happy golfers inspiring each other.
