Adaptive golf is for ANYONE – if you have had knee or hip replacements, arthritis, amputations, stroke or spine injuries. The Adaptive Golf Association will help anyone learn to play golf and reach their potential. Even if you have minor joint stiffness from aging to major surgeries, Adaptive Golf is for you! They help you make the modifications necessary to make your game more enjoyable. It is a great game to play because you can make the changes necessary to play with any able-bodied friends. If you want to be a part of something so exciting and fulfilling find someone in your area who teaches through the Adaptive Golf Association. You will find friends who are interested in just being out there, playing the game and living a full life.
The goals of the Association are to
- Provide a means for individuals with physical/cognitive challenges to learn, play and enjoy golf the way it should be.
- Harness the interest and support for Adaptive Golf Programs nationally.
- To make golf all-inclusive and ADA compliant.
The Adaptive Golf Association (AGA) specialize in training PGA/LPGA Professionals across the country as adaptive golf coaches as local resources for instruction, equipment and course access spreading the world across the nation.
There is adaptive equipment out there and many local courses offer the use of special golf carts (Solo Riders etc) as well as helping make the modification necessary via swing technique, application, using swing-matched equipment, in the safest, most effective way.
The AGA specializes in helping organizations across the country develop and operate adaptive golf programs for individuals with physical/cognitive challenges. This is accomplished through an “Adaptive Golf Academy” workshop, the education platform to train PGA Professionals and Physical/Occupational and Recreational Therapists on the underlying attributes of the game and how to conduct community programs with continuity, safety and effectiveness.
