2010 Special Olympics Ontario- Golf Open

Rolling Hills Golf Club- Stouffville, ON

Registration Information for Coaches, Communities and Athletes

Special Olympics Ontario launched golf this year as an additional sanctioned sport. A number of communities have programs already up and running, and are operational at a variety of levels. The interest is HIGH and the potential to have Special Olympics athletes engaged is unlimited.

 The goal of the Day is to celebrate golf in Ontario. While the competition may have different formats in proceeding years, we are starting a 2 person scramble 9-hole Alternate Shot Team Play and Individual Skills Competition. This will provide an opportunity to assess our athletes’ development and plan for the future.
