Budgeting for Access

Offsetting Costs

By Dave Barton, PGA - I think it is important as I present the below information to share with you that I do not do my own taxes. I am actually pretty dang good with math – I just hate doing my personal taxes.

When it comes to taxes for golf facilities or other organizations I have been associated with, I have generally been fortunate enough to have access to CPAs who seem to love numbers as well as the other elements that go into an annual tax return. Thank goodness! Read More

Making Golf Accessible at the U.S. Adaptive Open

I knew this tournament was special the moment I arrived on property. There was a unique excitement in the air.

By Chava McKeel - The second annual U.S. Adaptive Open, hosted by the USGA, was played July 10-12 at Pinehurst No. 6, in the Village of Pinehurst, N.C.

I had the unique opportunity to attend the Open as a member of the executive committee of the National Alliance for Accessible Golf.

The Healing Power of Golf for Kids

"All the children at Ranken Jordan are medically complex. We have kids in hospital beds and wheelchairs and walkers. They're on ventilators, they've got feeding tubes and regardless of what they're facing they hit golf balls. It's a very powerful afternoon and no better way to spend a day than helping them get better through golf."
