Ohio Holds Inaugural Adaptive Tournament The United States Adaptive Golf Alliance (USAGA) began hosting tournaments for golfers with impairments in 2014. USAGA’s coalition started and grew from the desire of several parathlete golfers and adaptive golf organizations who were collectively frustrated by failed efforts to form one voice to speak and act nationally to bring adaptive golf to the disabled population and as a Paralympic sport to the Olympic Games. The USGA monitored the USAGA’s progress and when Para-Golf became an Olympic Sport they decided they needed to organize a national adaptive golf tournament. The USGA held their first adaptive event in 2022 and it was a huge success. Ohio Golf Journal applauds the USGA, the USAGA and Northern Ohio Golf Association for brining more focus to adaptive golf and creating the series of tournaments. Also in this issue, the National Golf Foundation is reporting that golf is very healthy right now. Rounds are still increasing and the growth among juniors and women playing the game is quite impressive. Len Ziehm tells about changes at BOYNE, plus for golf health, Franciscan Medical talks about knee injuries and when surgery is necessary. It has been a wonderful golf season in Ohio and we look forward to a beautiful fall season as we move into September. I hope I see you on the Back 9 in the near future.
