Mission:
Empowering all golfers, through awareness, education, and practical application,
to play the game proficiently and enjoyably for as long as possible, despite
coping with medical illness and/or physical limitation.
To provide guidance and content to health-conscious organizations wishing to
positively and broadly impact their employees, clients, and shareholders by
using the game of golf as a vehicle for pertinent and meaningful health
education.
A Game for a Lifetime
Golf, unlike most other sports, can be played and enjoyed,
both proficiently and enthusiastically, well into middle-age and senior
citizenship. This is also the time, however, when medical issues and physical
limitations can increasingly and significantly limit our ability to do so. But
these problems certainly do not ignore the young golfer. 
It becomes essential, then, to learn how to recognize and
to understand how best to cope with and manage these illnesses, to enjoy
improved overall health as well as better, more satisfying golf. It is also
crucial to realize the various ways playing golf can positively impact our
illnesses and physical limitations, thereby improving our lives.
Triumph over Adversity
Golf teaches us, among other lessons, how to achieve
success by overcoming adversity, both mental and physical. From dealing with
the relatively mundane, such as a bad break or adverse conditions on the course,
to the truly daunting and challenging task of playing golf in the face of
illness and/or physical limitation, this is inexorably true.
 There are numerous examples of “world-class’ golfers, from
all the professional tours, being successful in doing so. It is vital to
carefully examine how this has been and can be done, and to broadly apply these
findings to all golfers. To be successful, we must adopt more than
simply a “traditional” sports medical approach of merely preventing and treating
common injuries. We must focus on the “complete golfer,” addressing the full
scope of medical illnesses and their effect on the golfer’s body, mind, and
spirit.
Education holds the key – as the English philosopher
Francis Bacon said, “knowledge is power.”
