The Western
Amputee Golf Association (WAGA), established in 1968, began with
nearly 40 members and a single annual tournament. The organization
has grown steadily and today boasts a membership in excess of 200,
with numerous tournaments staged year round.
In addition
to its golf activities, WAGA has raised money for scholarships for
amputees wanting to attend a college program. In addition, its members
work to disseminate information about new developments in prosthetic
devices that allow amputees to participate in sports, and enjoy
life to its fullest.
If you are
a golfer and have lost a limb recently, don't despair! You don't
have to give up golf for this inconvenience. Contact your local
Association and begin to play again. If you have never played golf,
but are interested in trying, contact the person for your area of
the US, or contact the National
Amputee Golf Association at 800-633-NAGA, for information on
learning to play golf, or attending a First Swing golf clinic.
The Western
Amputee Golf Association (WAGA) was founded to help amputees and
other physically challenged people build a sense of personal pride
and confidence. You can join WAGA by filling out membership
form from this website, and sending it with your check to Chris
Wicks (address is on form). Call for more information about WAGA
by calling toll-free 866 311-0777.
There are many
such associations across the U.S. If you wish to contact the Association

Golfer Magazine, a full-color magazine about everything that is
