UCAG’s therapeutic approach to adaptive golf coaching establishes a “no-fail” environment for those new to golf and utilizes adaptive equipment to maximize all levels of abilities. Our coaches implement mindfulness-based cognitive strategies to increase confidence, establish independence, and positively impact mental and physical health. The involvement in a community of people overcoming obstacles and pursuing common goals is therapeutic, and the opportunities to socialize and learn together that we provide are paramount. Our clinics provide benchmarks for improvements in physical health, psycho-social status, cognitive status, and recreation activity within the community to measure our impact on length and quality of life in the greater Greenville disabled Veteran and special needs communities. Galvanized by the ability to enhance lives, UCAG passionately pursues continued development and growth of our programming and capability to increase opportunities to make an impact on and provide a community for the participants we serve.

Our greatest early successes include Veterans who have gained purpose within their lives by volunteering to help us coach children and new participants at clinics. Additionally, we have several athletes that have developed competitive aspirations and have ben able to travel around the country to compete in USAGA sanctioned adaptive golf tournaments. We help these adaptive athletes grow as individuals, community members, friends, and as golfers by providing the opportunity to succeed in a no-fail environment!
