Hi, I’m Matt. I’m a lifelong golfer based in Surrey, a single-figure handicapper, and I’m ready to take my game to the global stage.
Recently, my life came into clearer focus after being diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, while already having significant hearing issues. While these diagnoses explained many of the hurdles I’ve faced, they also opened a new door: I am now fully eligible for the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD).
Golf has always been my sanctuary—a place where focus and discipline meet. Now, I have the opportunity to represent England and compete against the best disability golfers in the world.
The Goal: From Surrey to World #1
I don’t just want to play; I want to win. My mission is clear: within two years, I aim to become the #1 ranked disability golfer in the world.
However, the path to the top is expensive. To get there, I need to overcome the initial "barrier to entry" costs and the significant travel expenses associated with an international competitive circuit.
Where Your Donations Go
Competing at this level requires more than just talent. Your support will directly fund:
WR4GD Eligibility & Registration: Mandatory medical assessments and ranking pass fees. - Achieved
Tournament Entry Fees: Securing my spot in elite disability golf events across the UK and Europe.
Travel & Logistics: Getting to and from events while managing the specific sensory and logistical needs associated with my ADHD and Autism.
Training & Equipment: Ensuring my game remains sharp enough to climb the world rankings.
Why This Matters
Neurodiversity in sport isn't just about "playing along"—it's about excellence. By supporting my journey, you aren't just funding a golfer; you’re supporting a representative for England and an advocate for neurodivergent athletes everywhere.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one hole closer to that #1 spot.
Thank you for being part of the team.
