Success Stories and Inspiration
Adaptive golf isn't just about the game; it's about growing a community of inclusion. Through proven techniques, we empower every individual to reach their full potential on and off the green.

National Ability Center
Mark Taylor, EDGA Head of Coach Education and Instruction, led the first-ever EDGA adaptive golf training session in the United States in June 2026.
​
The National Ability Center and Glenwild Golf Club hosted volunteers, NAC staff and PGA Golf Professionals for a day of education and inspiration in preparation for the NAC starting an adaptive golf pilot program in 2026.

SamÂ
Sam and I have been working togther for over 10 years. He is a hard-working and dedicated player. I have learned so much about coaching a player with adaptive needs by working with Sam.Â
​
He played two years of competitive golf at the collegiant level. Sam is now ranked #5 in the US in the G1 division by the USAGA ranking system.

Brian
Brian and I met at an adaptive golf clinic at Hubbard Golf Course, located at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, UT.
​
He had not hit a golf ball since his accident over 10 years ago. Prior to his injury, he played golf with a respectable 10 handicap.Â
​
His doubts of playing were quickly erased as he discovered slight modifications needed to strike the ball solid. The joy he shared that day was a huge impact on my interest in becoming more involved with growing adaptive golf.




Brandon
I had the opportunity to play golf with para golfer Brandon Adam at Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks in Silverthorne. We were introduced by David Simon from Tunnels to Towers, and I’m really glad he brought us together.
​
It was a great day on the course. Brandon shared his experiences as a golfer, giving me an even better understanding of the unique challenges he faces. I was able to offer a few thoughts on his golf swing that I believe will help him play even better. He is anxious to compete.

Â
Kenny and I met at the Arizona Adaptive Open. I volunteered to assist players during the practice round for the event and was assigned to the group Kenny was in. Kenny plays in the "Vision Impairment" category.
​
He is the first player in the vision impairment category that I have had the pleasure of getting to know. He is a tremendous ambassador for adaptive golf in the United States.
Hal
I worked with Hal a few years ago before he faced the cahllenge of needed to play golf with an assisted mobile device.
​
He struggled initially but after one session together Hal is back playing the game. Here is the note I recieved from him:
​
Hey Steve,
Â
I want to thank you for your help on Friday I really appreciate it!
Â
I played only my second full round in the Verta Cat yesterday and my first full round in two years.
Â
From the Green tees I made nine pars and nine bogeys  for 81! I was dumbfounded!
Â
So encouraging!
Â
Thanks again!
