USDGA
The USDGA believes that golfers who have disabilities should be given an opportunity to showcase his or her talents in a championship style event. The objective is to bring their own championship to any golfer with a physical, intellectual, and sensory disability. With this design, we will reach golfers who never had the opportunity to compete in a national event. Their rules & regulations are set to provide a fair and competitive competition for all golfers despite what level of disability you may have. Whether they are amputee, blind, cerebral palsy, wounded veterans, short stature, muscular dystrophy, and many others, this was made for them.
