Adaptive Golf Program Recap

First implemented three years ago, our Adaptive Golf Program was once again a success this year. This program was created with the objective of breaking down barriers and to provide people with disabilities an opportunity to either learn how to play the game or improve their game. With this years program coming to and end, we would like thank everyone responsible for making it happen. Thank you Rosevale Golf Course for being an amazing host and thank you to the volunteers for taking the time to come out and help. Most importantly, thank you to all of the participants for coming out each and every week. We hope to see this program continue to grow and see you all next year!
