IAGA Onboarding Training Series for Golf Facility Leadership and Staff
British Columbia Golf is a member of the International Association of Golf Administrators (IAGA) and as such are very involved with initiatives that promote and support golf as an activity that should be accessible to all seeking the health and wellbeing benefits that this wonderful game has to offer.
One of the barriers that people with disabilities often encounter in the pursuit of golf's benefits, is the issue of basic accessibility itself.
In this video Dave Barton, PGA, Executive Director of the National Alliance for Accessible Golf provides an overview of the “Onboarding Training Series for Golf Facility Leadership and Staff” designed to provide the foundation for a welcoming, accessible and inclusive environment at your golf facility or those you may be working with in your state or region for adaptive golf competitions or programming.
The Onboarding Training Series connects the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) to golf facility operations to simplify what operators need to know and do, including recommended policy templates for cart path only scenarios, service animals and more.
This training is provided at no-cost on the Alliance Education Hub, participants earn a certificate of completion, and it is approved for PGA, LPGA, GCSAA and CMAA Education Credits.
