The Western Amputee Golf Association

Since 1968, the Western Amputee Golf Association (WAGA) has welcomed amputees who enjoy playing golf, spending time with friends, and promoting good health. WAGA membership is open to all ages, both men and women, who support the sharing of ideas and comradery with those who have lost the use of a limb and may have thought golf was no longer an option. In 2016, NAGA and WAGA joined forces with the United States Adaptive Golf Alliance (USAGA) to invite non-amputee disabled golfers to all of our tournaments and events nationwide to expand the opportunities for all disabled golfers to enjoy the game and further the goals of our organizations. Since that time, adaptive golf has grown exponentially, including the addition of a USGA National Championship, the US Adaptive Open.

WAGA tournaments and instructional events are open to everyone. We have  General, Associate, Life and Junior Memberships available now on this website. Whether you're a seasoned golfer who has experienced a life-changing injury and considering getting back into the game or you have an eligible disability and interested in playing golf with your peers, we encourage you to join WAGA.

Registered WAGA members have access to all WAGA events, our regular news updates and the opportunity to help the amputee and adaptive golf community by serving on WAGA's Board and Committees. WAGA is an all-volunteer non-profit organization and 100% of your annual dues goes directly to supporting our events, communications and players.

WAGA is a proud member of the United States Adaptive Golf Alliance. The USAGA is a national coalition of leading adaptive golf organizations working together to grow the game of golf for the disabled golf community.
