CHICAGO, IL. (March 17, 2014) – Freedom Golf Association (FGA), an organization founded in 2012 as a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing joy and a sense of freedom to the special needs community through their inclusion in the game of golf has announced the launch of their new website www.fgagolf.org.
FGA’s new website will provide visitors with a vast array of information on FGA events, how to get involved or donate, locate ADA accessible golf courses, view videos about adaptive golf and connect to other vital information for the special needs community.
According to the PGA of America, there are 18 million disabled individuals who would like to play golf, but for various reasons either have quit trying or don’t know where to get started. “Our new website will be a great resource to those seeking help and information about adaptive golf.” “One of FGA’s main goals is to contribute to the growth of the game and we believe the new website is a big step towards that effort.” Says, E.Q. Sylvester, Founder and Chairman of Freedom Golf Association, whose story was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal, http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304866904579268192292922858
Freedom Golf Association will host a variety of golf clinics, special events, league play and social activities throughout 2014. All event related information will be posted on the website. FGA encourages everyone in golf to make the game inclusive and accessible.
Freedom Golf Association was founded in July 2012 by Edmund Q. Sylvester. He is a Director of the Western Golf Association and a golf enthusiast. Sylvester became a triple amputee in 2011. Soon after leaving the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, he attempted to hit golf balls at a local range. Without assistance, his attempt was not successful and it became the first step towards forming FGA.
