Andy Gilford

🌟 Welcoming Yellow Light Card to the EWBG Family 🌟 We are delighted to announce a brand-new partnership between England & Wales Blind Golf and Yellow Light Card (YLC) — an organisation whose mission and values align beautifully with our own. YLC’s commitment to supporting the wellbeing of construction workers and their families mirrors our commitment to supporting people living with sight loss across England and Wales. From our very first conversation, it was clear we shared the same belief: strong communities change lives. Here is YLC’s heartfelt statement on why they chose to partner with us: “YLC are pleased to announce the beginning of a partnership with England & Wales Blind Golf Charity. Our company is built around making a positive impact in the lives of our construction workers and their families in what can be a tough industry to navigate sometimes. When meeting England & Wales Blind Golf it became clear how both parties’ goals align — with communities at the forefront of everything we do, we can create a big impact in people’s lives. EWBG has provided social and competitive golf for all ages for the past 40 years. It is far bigger than golf — it’s a community that builds confidence, hope and friendships through guides and volunteers who donate their time and sight to make golf more accessible and inclusive for those with severe sight loss. The team at YLC look forward to being hands-on at events in the community, as well as supporting in many other ways as the partnership builds. We chose this partnership because it reflects what we believe in: community and inclusivity. We want to stand beside charities offering real benefits to real people — and the people at EWBG truly care. As one of our founders is a keen golfer, we can’t wait to get out on the course with them, and more importantly, get stuck in at events wherever we can.” We are incredibly grateful to YLC for choosing to stand with us. Their passion for community, care, and meaningful impact reflects exactly what blind golf is all about: hope, confidence, connection, and the joy of being part of something bigger. Here’s to a powerful and positive journey ahead — welcome to the EWBG family, Yellow Light Card 💛⛳️ #EWBG #BlindGolf #InclusionThroughSport #CommunityPartners #YellowLightCard #GolfForAll #TransformingLives #SupportAndInclusion

@Anders_Mankert @EWBlindGolf Thank you Anders, would be good to catch up soon. I had a meeting with @VICTAUK today re getting more golf events for vi children.

@EWBlindGolf Incredible and very well deserved! His contribution has been enormous.👏👏👏

🏆 Congratulations to our very own Andy Gilford, winner of the Change Maker Award at the British Blind Sport 50th Anniversary Awards! This award, presented by Colin Tirel, Managing Director of ARBURG LIMITED, recognises Andy’s incredible dedication and impact over more than two decades in blind golf. What started as a personal journey has become a mission that has transformed lives — helping people with sight loss discover the joy, confidence, and connection that golf can bring. Through his leadership and vision, Andy has inspired countless players, guides, and volunteers, launched sight loss clinics across the country, and built partnerships with schools, charities, and major tours to raise awareness and inclusion in the sport. Because of his drive and commitment, England & Wales Blind Golf continues to grow — welcoming new members of all ages, including more women and young people than ever before. Andy embodies what EWBG stands for: hope, inclusion, friendship, and opportunity through golf. We couldn’t be prouder. 💛 #EWBG #BlindGolf #InclusionThroughSport #BritishBlindSport #ChangeMaker #Inspiration #GolfForAll #SightLossAwareness #Community #Accessibility #GolfFamily

@AndyBurtenshaw @EWBlindGolf H Andy There are details on the website. Our guides make it possible for us to play, and our success is the guides success as we are a team.

@EWBlindGolf How do you get into being a caddy/guide? Imagine it's a pretty interesting journey to be part of.

💜 #BefriendingWeek 2025 💜 At England & Wales Blind Golf, friendship is at the very heart of everything we do. For many of our members, golf is more than just a sport — it’s a lifeline. It’s the connection between player and guide, built on trust and teamwork. It’s the laughter shared on the fairway, the encouragement after a tough shot, and the friendships that continue long after the final putt drops. Blind golf brings people together — from every background and ability — creating a community where no one feels alone. Our players, guides, volunteers, and supporters form lasting bonds that go far beyond the course. This #BefriendingWeek, we celebrate those friendships — old and new — and the special connections that make our game, and our community, truly unique. 💚 #EWBG #BlindGolf #BefriendingWeek #GolfForAll #Inclusion #Accessibility #GolfCommunity #SightLossSupport #TogetherThroughGolf #GolfFamily

Great to meet Visually Impaired Rugby England tonight after them asking me to help them develop their sport like we did with blind golf. Hoping some people can help make this happen and have the same impact vi golf has, together as a team. @miketindall13 @KaufmanRichard

🤝 The Power of Partnership 🤝 For our members, the relationship between a player and their guide is truly special — built on trust, teamwork, and friendship both on and off the course. To our England & Wales Blind Golf members: tag your guide below and let them know how much they mean to you! And for those who aren’t yet part of our community… if you were to take on the course, who would you choose as your guide? ⛳️ Let’s celebrate the partnerships that make blind golf possible — because together, we see the game differently. 💫 #EWBG #BlindGolf #GolfForAll #Inclusion #Accessibility #Teamwork #Guides #GolfCommunity #TogetherWeCan

Make sure you give it a go! 👇

Last week, with the support of American Golf, England & Wales Blind Golf celebrated a week of inclusivity and accessibility in golf. 🏌️‍♂️💙 Players and guides from across the UK came together—showing that golf is a sport for all ages, all abilities, and both men and women. From new friendships to unforgettable memories, blind golf is a community like no other. A huge congratulations to Stuart Hutchinson & John Smith, crowned 2025 Masters Champions, becoming the first pair in history to win both the British Open and the Masters in the same year. 👏👏 Together with partners like American Golf, our mission is clear: to make golf inclusive for everyone and to give people living with sight loss the opportunity to thrive on and off the course. #InclusionWeek #GolfForAll #BlindGolf
