Beginnings: From Ireland to London

LGBT Golf grew from Gary Shaw’s work in inclusive coaching in Ireland, including Inclusive Golf Kildare at Naas Golf Club, developed with support from Golf Ireland for young golfers with additional needs.

That experience shaped his approach to creating welcoming places to learn and play. After moving to London, Gary brought that approach into LGBT Golf, combining professional coaching with shared play and LGBT+ representation.
