Exactly 3 months ago I went to the driving range with my 3 year old son.
He didnโt have a golf bag, only some random clubs we hauled around.
That night I created a design and found a manufacturer for a toddler golf bag.
I received a prototype and my kid LOVED it.
Since then, 178 golfers have joined the waitlist.
150 bags are currently in transit to my home. Itโs all I could afford. This thing is bootstrapped.
Will we sell them? I have no clue.
But itโs worth a shot.
You can still jump on the waitlist โฌ๏ธ

๐ธ Cricketing Inspiration ๐ธ
Kearan Gibbsโฆ
Being born without lower arms or hands didnโt stop Kearan from thriving in the world of cricket. From playing able bodied cricket on a saturday to being coached by the best spinner in the world (Shane Warne)โฆ
Throughout the years representing various counties along with being involved within the England setup.
Kearan is a inspiration to all of us and a key message that cricket is for absolutely everyone!
Keep smashing it mate โค๏ธ

Our work in SEND schools is bringing cricket to thousands more young people living with a disability.
Fantastic news that this increased support from @ECB_cricket will enable us to deliver even more life changing impact as we work to make cricket a truly inclusive game.
Today weโre announcing an extra ยฃ2m in funding for five partners to break down barriers in cricket for state school children & young Black and South Asian cricketers 1/ ecb.co.uk/news/3681217/tens-โฆ

Benny Howell has spoken about how ADHD helps him on the cricket field.
He struggled as a child but now "thrives" on being different and, like others, he does not see it as a disorder, just a different wiring in the brain.
