We use specific drills to build spatial awareness, allowing players to feel the rhythm of their swing and connect with the game entirely through their senses. My journey in making golf accessible started with a simple belief: the sport should not be gated by ability or background. My partnership with Enable India to launch the Purple Academy at the Karnataka Golf Association (KGA) has been the most humbling chapter of my coaching career. We do not just teach the mechanics of the game. We create an environment where students can build confidence and independence. We utilize a methodology adapted for inclusivity. This involves structured orientation, learning to identify the ball position, and mastering the feel of a solid strike. Whether you are part of an organization looking to support an inclusive event or an individual interested in how we adapt these techniques, these sessions are designed to be practical, safe, and genuinely fun. The goal is to provide a platform where anyone, regardless of ability, can experience the focus and discipline that golf demands. We keep the groups manageable to ensure high attention, making sure every student gets the support they need to feel comfortable on the green. ## About Nikki Ponappa Hi, I'm Nikki.
