First Swing Event

First Swing is a program brought to you by The National Amputee Golf Association (NAGA) and was developed and perfected by Bob Wilson, a bilateral transtibial amputee, and former NAGA Executive Director, since passed. NAGA is currently led by Executive Director Tracy Ramin. The program was designed to instruct therapists to teach and encourage the disabled to learn, or re-learn the game of golf. Each course is taught and led under the supervision of NAGA instructors. First Swing introduces those with mobility deficits proper stance and stroke techniques for various shots and, if necessary, how to safely utilize adaptive equipment to play. First Swing provides a controlled environment where participants can learn techniques for proper weight shifting, a key element to a consistent swing. First Swing challenges participants’ balance, stability, coordination, and strength and encourages participants to get outside for a social outing.

Lunch is generously provided by Ottobock to all who attend. More Information can be found on the Eventbrite registration page!
