Treetops will be host to the National One Armed Golf Association’s National Tournament
Gaylord, MI - Golfers across North America will be setting their sights on Gaylord Michigan, and its premiere golf destination; Treetops Resort July 23rd through July 27th, 2017.
The event will feature one-armed golfers from across North America, a true celebration of determination, and perseverance. The tournament is broken down into two divisions: assisted, where golfers are allowed to utilize prosthetic devices and/or touch the club with two limbs, and unassisted: where golfers touch the club with only one arm. In accordance with other national tournaments the NOAGANT will have two days of stroke play completion to determine the low eight qualifiers in each division. The qualifiers then proceed through match play completion, with a winner recognized Thursday, July 27th. It should also be noted that participants who do not qualify for the match play portion of the tournament play in a series of alternate shot, and best ball events competing for prizes throughout the week.
The mission of NAOAGA is to promote the game of golf to those that must play "one-handed" due to a physically challenged condition for the purpose of competition, recreation, and physical & emotional rehabilitation. Treetops Resort is proud to host this tournament, along with its strong and talented competitors.
