Empower Golf Australia and Drummond Golf are proud to announce their transformative partnership, launched on 1 January 2025, that aims to make golf a truly inclusive sport for Australians of all abilities.
This strategic collaboration brings together Empower Golf, the nation’s leader in adaptive golf, and Drummond Golf, Australia’s largest golf retailer with over 50 stores and decades of expertise.
By combining their resources and shared vision, the partnership seeks to create a more inclusive golfing landscape and positively impact the lives of Australians living with disability.
At the core of this alliance is a commitment to breaking down barriers in golf and driving long term change. Empower Golf’s advocacy, including multiple partnerships with national and global golfing organisations, has been pivotal in building the infrastructure and profile of adaptive golf across the nation.
Additionally, as the only nationally operating golf organisation providing services through the NDIS, Empower Golf works with numerous medical insurance companies to ensure access to recreational opportunities and specialised equipment for people with disabilities.
Drummond Golf’s role in this partnership is equally significant. With their vast experience and nationwide presence, they will provide financial and in-kind support, including promotional vouchers and extensive media contributions, to amplify Empower Golf’s mission.
Another key benefit of the collaboration is the availability of complimentary MiMatch fittings for Empower Golf clients. These fittings are tailored to each participant’s unique golfing characteristics, ensuring they are equipped with the best clubs for optimal performance across a range of leading brands.
“Drummond Golf’s reach and expertise paired with Empower Golf’s mission is a game changing combination,” said James Gribble, Founder and CEO of Empower Golf Australia.
“Through partnerships like this, we are strengthening industry connections and shaping a more inclusive future for golf in Australia,” he added.
Drummond Golf’s commitment to enhancing the golfing experience for all Australians is reflected in this partnership, with a focus on improving access to the sport and supporting the growth of adaptive golf initiatives.
“Our brand essence is rooted in our deep love for the game, so when we saw the incredible work James and the team at Empower are doing to help people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to play, supporting their mission was an easy decision for us” said Ben Wilson, Head of Marketing at Drummond Golf.
This exciting partnership marks a significant step forward in making golf a more inclusive and accessible sport for Australians, with Empower Golf and Drummond Golf working side by side to create lasting impact in the golfing community.
