Exciting Developments in Adaptive Golf for All Abilities in Central Oregon!
Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS) is making significant strides in inclusivity within the sport of golf with the launch of its 2026 summer community golf season. This initiative is set to expand opportunities for individuals with disabilities in Central Oregon, showcasing a commitment to accessibility and community engagement.
Community Engagement through Golf
The new season will kick off with exciting events, including an Adaptive Golf Community Clinic on May 28 and a Community Golf Kickoff BBQ on June 2, both taking place at the Sunriver Resort Meadows Golf Course. The Adaptive Golf Community Clinic aims to enhance skills and provide a platform for connection among adaptive golf coaches, OAS athletes, and community members.
Partnerships for Better Access
OAS is collaborating with prestigious organizations like Sunriver Resort, the US Adaptive Golf Alliance, and the Adaptive Golf Academy. This partnership signifies a united effort to develop adaptive golf programming that welcomes all participants, regardless of ability. The Community Golf Kickoff BBQ is a free event, open to everyone, and marks the commencement of this inspiring season.
Expanding Opportunities Throughout the Summer
In addition to the kickoff events, the adaptive golf sessions at Sunriver Resort are scheduled for specific dates throughout the summer, providing ongoing access and engagement. The inclusion of an adaptive golf cart during the clinic further emphasizes OAS's commitment to making the game of golf accessible to all, encouraging participants to bring their mobility equipment as needed.
This initiative not only supports athletes with disabilities but also fosters a community spirit, bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds to enjoy outdoor recreation. The effort to create welcoming spaces in sports exemplifies the growing movement toward inclusivity in all areas of life.
