Julie Walker is the founder of Women on the Tee, an initiative dedicated to empowering women through golf. Based in Ayrshire, Scotland, Julie rediscovered her love for golf over the past decade and now advocates for making the sport more inclusive, especially for women who balance caregiving roles or face challenges like loneliness and dementia.

Her work focuses on creating a welcoming environment where women of all backgrounds can access the game and enjoy its physical and mental health benefits. Julie is a strong proponent of improving how golf clubs and organizations communicate with new players, helping break down the barriers that prevent many from discovering the sport.

Through Women on the Tee, Julie aims to make golf more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, fostering a supportive and values-driven community that encourages women to embrace the game.

Dementality was founded by sisters Su and Youn, inspired by their personal experiences with their mother’s dementia. They focus on creating supportive environments and holistic approaches to care for those with early dementia. In collaboration with Golf in Society, they plan to introduce dementia-friendly golf activities in Switzerland. This initiative aims to offer a gentle, engaging form of physical and mental stimulation tailored for individuals with dementia, promoting well-being through social interaction and exercise.
