The Willowcreek Golf Academy at Atkinson Resort & Country Club
GOLF FOR EVERYONE
Introducing golf to kids with disabilities Peter Doherty & Wayne Swanson
Our Goal
To introduce the game of golf to those students in the Hampstead and Timberlane School Districts who
may feel it’s not available to them; specifically students with disabilities.
Overview
The Willowcreek Golf Academy at Atkinson Resort &
Country Club is a state of the art golf learning center. We have 12 heated hitting bays that are open year round
with over 15k square feet of grass tees used during the summer months.
All of this allows us the opportunity to provide golf instruction to players of all ages and abilities, including
those with disabilities.
What is Golf For Everyone?
Golf for Everyone is a program designed to provide kids with disabilities the chance to learn life skills through the
game of golf. Golf teaches us patience, acceptance, discipline and much more. These kids would be
provided a safe environment using equipment that is provided to them. Kids 13 and under could use our
SNAG http://snaggolf.com/ equipment, made specifically for kids who are learning the game and a
great tool to use for kids with disabilities.
Cost
Our goal is to provide this program at no cost to students. I understand that if this becomes a school event there might be associated costs, but from the
Academy’s standpoint, there would be no charge for the facility or instruction. I would like to explore involving
the PTA at various schools as well.
Schedule
Our hope is to offer a 4-6 week program that meets once a week in the spring. We can meet at WCGA or school.
We would also like to include the Best Buddy program at Timberlane High School in this initiative. Hosting a golf outing with instruction on the course would be a great
culminating activity for this group. Students could play two or three holes on our par 3 course before coming
back to the Academy for a little instruction that includes games to make it fun for everyone.
