EDGA GOLFERS FIRST PODCAST Episode 69
Manage episode 348034031 series 3237136
This week we introduce you to the story of Fabrizio Gardiol from Italy. We give you an insight into last weeks EDGA workshops and Annual Assembly and a guide to using the suite of EDGA logos.
FABRIZIO GARDIOL
Acquired wisdom shows us that we can earn a “bagful of things” to improve life, and for some, golf can play a leading role.
You would be forgiven for thinking that the hand condition Fabrizio Gardiol was born with could be a major problem for him growing up in the 1960s, perhaps creating a lack of confidence during his school days, but in fact it might be one of the reasons behind his personal achievements over the years.
The condition seems to have influenced how Fabrizio grew into his life as a boy supported by his family, and he certainly believes it plays a role in how he aims to be a positive influence on his own two sons today. Yes, there are obstacles in all our lives, he says, but these can be overcome to find success.
Fabrizio believes golf can be a mirror to how we seek to improve our lives and how we conduct ourselves with others. “Face the challenge”, says this man who also loves cycling, motorbikes and rock climbing out in the wild, and you might just surprise yourself in the process.
THE EDGA WORKSHOPS
The game’s national governing bodies can help change the lives of people with disability through the power of golf, agree members of EDGA. Creating a stronger culture of equity, inclusion and opportunity across golf is how this can be achieved via continued innovation and best practice, delegates were informed at EDGA’s 2022 Annual Congress in Portugal.
EDGA’s membership of now 36 national golf federations were invited to take part in the congress. On the second day of the conference all welcomed countries Kenya and Namibia, which were elected as new members of EDGA.
Over two days of presentations and workshops delegates discussed major progressive steps recently taken to grow the game, from encouraging the very first putts and chips in golf by ‘samplers’ of the sport to possibly playing at an elite level for golfers with a disability.
The R&A’s Jim Gough informed of The R&A and the USGA’s latest update to the Rules of Golf that includes, for the first time, the modified Rules for players with disabilities being fully incorporated into the playing rules, without the need to adopt a local rule. The DP World Tour’s CEO Keith Pelley appraised delegates on the successful partnership with EDGA and the growth of the G4D Tour. EDGA Head of Development Mark Taylor took the audience through the coach education framework that seeks to embed G4D knowledge and learning into existing coach education. EDGA’s Director of Development Aimi Bullock recognised much good work by member nations to encourage more women into the game but challenged every nation member of EDGA to deliver more G4D women players by the time of the 2023 congress.
EDGA LOGO USAGE
The EDGA logo asset can be used. EDGA focuses on empowering the person first and recognising their individuality rather than their impairment. We believe that irrespective of nationality, gender, age or impairment, we are all golfers. Launched at the start of the year, the new EDGA brand incorporated a "G" symbolising how the golfer is at the heart of all our activity. The “G" is our icon and as such as we move into 2023, we are pleased to share that EDGA pass holders with a WR4GD, Access, or Access Conditional Pass can use the icon. The “G icon" can be added to your materials such as clothing, and equipment such as on a golf bag. Requests for the symbol should be made to scottbennett11@gmail.com.
Please note the symbol can only be used independent of other texts/logo and cannot be changed in colour.
