What is your overall experience of On Course Foundation?: Although sceptical of golf at first, that probably lasted about five minutes into my first proper exposure of the sport and On Course Foundation at the Battle Back Centre.
To begin with, golf gave me something to focus on besides my rehabilitation and also gave me an excuse to get off camp, especially when my colleagues were away on exercise or deployment. It also provided me with an opportunity to challenge myself and compete within sport after I found out that I couldn’t play rugby anymore. The expert tuition and social interaction that I have experienced since my first events has been superb and I am immensely grateful for all that has been provided.
The golf itself is only one element of the charity and the work experience opportunities that I have received so far gave my CV a vital boost, especially at a time when new employment was very much the focus on my thoughts.
I am very proud to be a member of On Course Foundation and am eternally grateful for all the support that I have received. I’m also excited to see the charity grow in the future and will look to support it in any way I can.
