Exciting New Opportunities for Adaptive Golf in Oregon

The Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS) organization is gearing up to launch an inspiring new season of adaptive golf, with events designed to foster community involvement and provide accessible opportunities for individuals with disabilities. This initiative symbolizes the ongoing commitment to inclusion and accessibility in sports, particularly in the serene locale of Central Oregon.

Kickoff Community Events

The summer golf season begins with two exciting events at the Sunriver Resort Meadows Golf Course. An Adaptive Golf Community Clinic is scheduled for May 28, followed by a Community Golf Kickoff BBQ on June 2. These events not only serve to introduce new participants to golf but also aim to enhance the skills and connections of current OAS athletes and coaches.

Building a Community of Golfers

Through collaborations with organizations such as the US Adaptive Golf Alliance and the Adaptive Golf Academy, OAS is expanding its adaptive golf programming significantly. The launch events will offer skill-building opportunities for both newcomers and seasoned players, establishing a platform for community members to network and connect through the love of the sport.

A Season of Inclusion

The adaptive golf season at Sunriver Resort is set to run until September 22, with multiple community golf sessions scheduled throughout the summer. This ongoing engagement reflects a strong dedication to creating welcoming recreational opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their physical challenges. Participants are encouraged to attend with their mobility equipment, further emphasizing the inclusivity of these events.

Such initiatives are crucial in today’s society, highlighting the importance of adaptive sports in fostering equality and promoting a healthier lifestyle among individuals with disabilities. OAS's commitment to accessible sports continues to set a positive example for communities everywhere.
