Fraserview Golf Course hosted the BC All Abilities Championship on June 1 and 2, welcoming 13 adaptive golfers from BC, Alberta and Ontario for two days of competitive play.
Adaptive golf gives people with physical, cognitive or sensory disabilities the opportunity to play through with specialized equipment. Rules adjustments, such as allowing a caddie to help with ball placement, or permitting a player to anchor the club, keep play fair and accessible. The sport is growing rapidly, with competitive events now held across Canada and around the world.
The golfers at Fraserview included three players who hold rankings through the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD), a global system administered by the R&A and USGA that tracks performance across sanctioned adaptive golf events worldwide.
Grant Lee of Red Deer, Alberta took the title with a gross two-day total of 158.
Many players who were in the field are eager to return to Vancouver for the Vancouver Golf Tour's Vancouver Open, played annually at Fraserview, McCleery and Langara, which includes an adaptive golfer division. With enough registrations, the event could qualify as a WR4GD counting event putting Vancouver on the map as a destination for competitive adaptive golf.
