play the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Bennett, the head PGA teaching professional at Essex's Three Rivers Golf and Country Club, has taken the time to help ex-servicemen develop new skills on the course, reports Golf Club Management.<\/p>\n<p>She had her own career cut short in 2005 when she suffered a neurological balance disorder, which meant she had to undergo four years of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>As such, she is ideally placed to know exactly what wounded soldiers are going through and how it may be difficult for them to do the things they once loved.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Schollar, Help for Heroes general manager at Chavasse VC House Recovery Centre in Colchester, said: &quot;Sarah has proved an inspiration in helping the soldiers into new hobbies and giving them the self-confidence to try new activities.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Ms Bennett works with soldiers who have been admitted to Chavasse VC House following a course of recovery at Headley Court in Surrey.<img
