Adaptive Golf

Adaptive golf creates inclusive opportunities for individuals of all abilities to experience the game. Through dedicated programs and partnerships, golfers with physical, cognitive, or sensory challenges can enjoy instruction, clinics, and events tailored to their needs. The VSGA proudly supports adaptive golf initiatives, fostering a welcoming environment and promoting the lifelong benefits of golf for all participants.

The Virginia State Golf Association (VSGA) is committed to ensuring that golfers of all abilities have the opportunity to access and participate in the game of golf. The VSGA understands the barriers that exist within the adaptive sports community, and has made it a priority to help reduce those barriers and improve access to golf through the VSGA Adaptive Golf Grants Program.
