ParaGolf Canada
Golf Day

Hosting a ParaGolf Canada Golf Day at your golf club establishes your club as a leader in paving the way toward making your region an inclusive community.

Hosting a ParaGolf Canada Golf Day at your club is done by infusing ParaGolf Canada members into an already existing Men’s or Woman’s Day.

Your golf club will be associated with helping change awareness and understanding of how the sport of golf provides positive social and physical benefits to people with a disability, and plays an important role in changing community perceptions, stereotypes and biases around disability.

The event has the potential not just to excite, but inspire; to show your members not just the individual commitment, ambition and talent of the ParaGolfers themselves, but to challenge the perceptions of disability and of what is possible.

“One of the major barriers to individuals with disability is underestimating their talents. Underestimation can happen among the public, families, peers, and even individuals with disabilities themselves, especially if they have been told what they ‘can’t’ do for so long instead of being given the opportunity to demonstrate what they can.” says Todd Keirstead, Founder/CEO ParaGolf Canada.

Participating in an event like this offers so many advantages and opportunities for you club as outlined above , and at the very least, you will feel good about yourself, your team, your members and most importantly about those who you have helped feel good about themselves.
