Freedom Golf Association (FGA) is dedicated to bringing joy and a sense of freedom to the special needs community through their inclusion in the game of golf. As a result of years of experience in both teaching and playing the game, we know the joy any golfer feels when they “Hit in the Sweet Spot ™”. We also know this same joy is felt when donors and volunteers see the excited faces of individual

Our very own Harmet is featured in this video along with other previous USGA Boatwright interns.
Adaptive golf is on the rise. This instructor is at the center of that growth. About 5.7 million golfers in the U.S. play with some kind of physical or cognitive challenge. Jonathan Snyder is trying to grow that number.
What does gratitude mean to you? For a lot of the adaptive golfers that the US Adaptive Golf Alliance has touched over the years, gratitude means having the opportunity to engage in the fabric of society through the game of golf. Through circumstance, these golfers -some new to the sport, others having experienced it at some point in their life- are navigating life overcoming challenges.
In the coming days and weeks, we will introduce you to some of these youth, men, and women so that you can get a glimpse into their journey. The common thread they all share is that they focus on their ability and what they CAN and DO accomplish. With USAGA, its programs, and competitions connecting them to the game of golf, they have found a place to be included as they navigate through the course of life.
During our End of the Year appeal that kicks off on Tuesday, November 30, and continues through December 31, we will be raising funds to continue to offer programming, golf outings, and competitions for adaptive golfers all over the country. Each year we touch the lives of over 35,000 disabled, of which approximately 26% are wounded veterans.
And, thanks to the generosity of Mr. Stewart Dansby, donations will be matched during the appeal period up to a maximum of $25,000. Additionally, to show our appreciation, we will send you a copy of The Power of Golf. This book that features the personal stories of how the game of golf has had a positive impact on the lives of adaptive golfers.
Will you help us support the adaptive golf community engage in the fabric of society?
Thank you to all that have served.

A phenomenal Adaptive golf clinic at Nub Ability Athletics Sports Camp. The United States Adaptive golf Alliance teamed up with Kids Golf Foundation of Illinois to provide equipment, structured clinic as well as a whole lot of smiles & high fives for 120 limb difference junior golfers at Red Hawk Golf course! The Clinic consisted of 4 sessions from 9am-6pm in which golfers learned the fundamentals of golf, the grip, stance, & alignment. Then worked through stations of putting chipping & full swing. The Nub Ability coaches were fantastic. We are very thankful & blessed to have the opportunity to provide inclusion in the game of golf for all of these great athletes!
Have you checked out our updates to the website lately? one of the improvements is we added a full calendar with not just adaptive tournaments but our clinics as well. Not just the Chicago local ones, but all over the U.S.
