40th Annual Learn to Golf Clinic
Join us at Saucon Valley Country Club on August 17 for the 40th Annual NAGA (National Amputee Golf Association) First Swing Seminar and Learn to Golf Clinic.
The first of its kind in the United States, the free NAGA First Swing Seminar and Learn to Golf Clinic teaches the basics of golf to individuals with disabilities and also teaches therapists and golf professionals how to instruct people in adaptive golf techniques.
If you have always wanted to take a swing at the game of golf, join other therapists and individuals with disabilities from the community at this energizing clinic.
There is a supply of golf clubs to use if you don’t have any; however, attendees are welcome to bring your own golf clubs.
This hands-on clinic for golfers will:
- Introduce and review basic golf techniques to improve functional skills, such as range of motion and balance
- Provide an opportunity to experience the SoloRider golf cart with a swivel seat; this technology allows people with disabilities access to golf from sitting or standing position with support from the cart
- Introduce special equipment, such as adaptive golf clubs and accessories
The First Swing seminar for therapists and golf pros costs $30. CEU credits are available.
