Our Purpose
Mission
Empower people of all ages with disabilities through free adaptive and therapeutic golf programs that promote personal wellness, community connection, and access to the game of golf.
Beliefs
We believe individuals with disabilities should have access to the game of golf and the opportunity to become self-directed players, with no limits on how far they can go.
Vision
Where recreational golf serves as lifelong self-therapy for individuals with disabilities, supporting well-being long after traditional therapies have ended.
Golf is not just a sport; it serves as a form of treatment and therapy for individuals with various disabilities.
Why Golf Therapy?
How we use our leisure time shapes our health and success. Irresponsible choices can lead to a range of physical, mental, and social problems.
That's why we're introducing golf as a healthy, responsible leisure activity. It's a great way for those at risk of inactivity and social isolation to get exercise and build community, ultimately enriching and extending their lives.
Program Model
We focus on developing skills and attitudes through golfing. Both are important to enhancing a leisure mindset that promotes ongoing self-directed activity and personal growth. This continuous process not only creates golfers but also provides lasting therapeutic benefits. By integrating this approach into programs, we promote positive outcomes for participants while increasing diversity and accessibility in the golf industry.
