Disabled golfer Tony Lloyd was at the British Masters on Saturday to discuss the European Tour's new 'Golfers with Disability' programme and demonstrate his technique.
The Englishman, who currently tops the net World Ranking for Golfers with Disability, joined Nick Dougherty on the practice range at Hillside.
Lloyd, who has short arms and plays off a handicap of 9.4, welcomed the European Tour's initiative, which will see two European Disabled Golf Association events held at the same time as two Rolex Series events this season, as a "game-changer" for disabled golfers.
