The season commences with a kickoff Adaptive Golf Community Clinic on May 28, followed by a Community Golf Kickoff BBQ on June 2, both taking place at the picturesque Sunriver Resort Meadows Golf Course. OAS is collaborating with esteemed partners such as Sunriver Resort, the US Adaptive Golf Alliance, and the Adaptive Golf Academy to enhance the offerings for adaptive golf.

Enhancing Skills and Community Connections

The Adaptive Golf Community Clinic, scheduled for May 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., will focus on skill-building and fostering connections among adaptive golf coaches, athletes, and community members. This inclusive clinic is designed not only to improve golfing skills but also to strengthen community ties.
