North American One-Armed Golfer’s Association Plays at Mission Inn Resort & Club
Howey-In-The-Hills, FL – January 26, 2020 – Mission Inn Resort & Club was pleased to welcome the North American One-Armed Golfer’s Association to our grounds January 24th – 26th for their 3rd annual Winter Regional Tournament. This tournament was a qualifying event for the Fightmaster Cup, which is a trademarked international competition held biennial between top NAOAGA players and United Kingdom’s Society of One-Armed Golfer Players. Golfers competed on both of Mission Inn Resort & Clubs championship courses, El Campeón and Las Colinas.
NAOAGA President Dan Aldrich described the experience at our championship courses as “definitely putting them through a challenge, but it’s all good.” This mentality follows suit in the organization’s mantra of “Never Quit.” The North American One-Armed Golfer’s Association is the only organization that runs competitive tournaments and clinics that incorporates juniors.
“Last year we had six one-armed juniors at our event and this year we have ten junior players participating in a clinic and playing competitive golf. Our players show our kids how to play with one arm and the kids as well as the members are super excited about it. We say all the time that they are our future and we want to give back and that’s one way we’re doing it,” says Alrich.
