mentalitee is a new organisation using golf to help people improve their mental health, and they are launching at Trafford Golf Centre in November.
Golf is great for your mental health. Fresh air, calming green space and the kind of moderate exercise that has been linked to anxiety reduction: mentalitee wants everyone to experience these benefits.
mentalitee enables people who have never played golf before to try it for the first time at no cost, as well as providing existing players with resources on golf, mental health and where the two cross over. The organisation offers a safe online space where people can talk to one another, meaning none of their users are ever truly alone.
mentalitee is running its first new starter session from 11am to 12pm on Friday 15th November at Trafford Golf Centre with PGA Teaching Professional Matt Cross, so if you think you could benefit from giving golf a try, and would like to know more about how the service works, email info@mentalitee.co.uk for more information. Alternatively, if this sounds like something that could help someone you know, please share this article with them.
(Note: places on November 15th are limited. Please ensure you register your interest by emailing: info@mentalitee.co.uk)

On Friday 29th September, Trafford Golf Centre’s PGA Professionals took on the Battle Back Warriors at Davyhulme Park Golf Club for the fifth year running.
Eight golfers from each team met at the course in Urmston to battle it out across four very close matches, including club professional Martyn Hamer. The determination and grit of the battle back golfers, plus some generous handicaps, resulted in another great win for the Battle Back golf veterans.
Speaking about the day, Pete Styles – Director of Golf at Trafford Golf Centre said: “Battle Back is an amazing charity and we’re proud to support them. We look forward to playing with the Battle Back Warriors each year, it was an emotional and humbling day for all concerned with plenty of stories shared. The team’s golf improves year on year – and they’ve now taken the win on four occasions in the last five years.”

As a venue, Trafford Golf Centre prides itself on being inclusive for all and sees customers with a variety of disabilities on a regular basis.

I’d like to thank Davyhulme Park Golf Club for their support, hosting the day free of charge and providing buggies to support the golfers with walking difficulties.”
“And of course, I’d like to thank the Trafford Golf Centre professionals for their sportsmanship and valued support – it is appreciated by all at Battle Back Golf. Golf is such an important tool in rehabilitation and this particular day is the highlight of the Battle Back Warrior’s golfing year.”
