WAADGA is committed to helping amputees and other physically challenged individuals, through golf, live a productive and inclusive life. Every amputee and physically challenged individual, regardless of age, is able to play golf.

The game of golf has proven that participation contributes dramatically to the emotional and physical well-being of physically challenged individuals, as well as instilling self-confidence and pride in personal achievements.

The purpose of Golf with a Disability programme is to teach adaptive golf to amputees and people with physical disabilities. It also serves to help those with previous golf experience to re-learn the game of golf as a new amputee or physically disabled person, and allows the individual to enjoy the game and the unique, friendly atmosphere found on the golf course.

WAADGA aims to be as inclusive as possible in catering to the vast number of different types of physically disabilities. However, it is impossible due to the special circumstances associated with different disabilities. There are a number of disability specific golf organisations in Australia at national and state level that cater for specic needs.
