United States Adaptive Golf Alliance (USAGA) announces the formation of the Women’s Adaptive Golf Committee driving increased inclusion of women with disabilities in the fabric of society through the game of golf.
According to the Center on Disease Control (CDC), sixty-one (61) million or 26% of adults in the United States (1 in 4) have some form of disability. According to the same statistics, about 36 million women in the U.S. have disabilities (1 in 4) – “and the number is growing”.
There is a proven need to include women with disabilities in the game of golf, giving them an opportunity to be included as opposed to be excluded.
KEY INITIATIVES
Centralized communication for women among USAGA members and the adaptive golf community
Building and strengthening golf networks among women with disabilities
Partnering with health care communities to educate girls and women on how golf can be used as a rehabilitative intervention
Support education efforts to expand instructors’ knowledge of teaching golf to women who have a disability
Drive the importance of intentionally marketing golf to women who have a disability
Maximize the influence of the WAGC through synergistic relationships with leaders across industries
The WAGC is presently comprised of 14 women, 12 of which have a disability. Several on the Committee are excellent golfers who have worked hard to achieve recognition or world ranking among the adaptive and para-golf community. They meet routinely to develop goals, refine strategies, and implement plans to advance their mission of improving inclusion in golf by creating awareness among women who have a disability, increasing opportunities for play and competition, and advocating for employment within the golf industry.
