welcome

My personal mission is to promote golf as a sport for people with disabilities. Golf is the only sport in which I can compete fairly and on the same playing ground with someone who is not disabled, or someone that has a different disability than mine--all thanks to the USGA handicap system.

For a person with a disability, learning to play golf can provide much needed self-confidence and a lifetime's worth of enjoyment. I play golf with business associates, old friends, and family, just like everybody else does!

In searching for information on adapted golf over the years, I've found that valuable information is difficult to locate and have been frustrated with the fact that there isn't a single place to go to get information, follow links to various programs, products, and see which courses in the country are accessible. So, I've built this page based on my experiences. If you have anything to add, please send me an e-mail and I will incorporate it in the site.

NEW: With apologies to the USGA for endorsing a document that does not adhere strictly to the Modified rules for golfers with disabilities, Bob Schmonsees and I invite you to check out the following document:
