Welcome to the
2019 Gorham Savings Bank Maine Amputee Open
August 13-14
Val Halla GC in Cumberland, Maine.
This is the second year we have added a Scramble event at the Val Halla Golf Course on August 12th at 1PM.
We are expecting amputees and friends from around the US and Canada. The Gorham Savings Bank Maine Amputee Open is a 36 Hole Stroke play event run by the Maine State Golf Association and the Amputee Association of Maine. We are a tournament for amputees and able-bodied golfers with an overall champion and able bodied and amputee winners.
We hope that golfers from away will use the Scramble to play Val Halla prior to the Maine Amputee Open. For our friends in Maine the scramble is an easy, convenient way to support the Amputee Association of Maine www.amputeeassociatinofmaine.org while having fun with friends, clients and co-workers.

In conjunction with the tournament, the Amputee Association of Maine and Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation www.maineadaptive.org are once again sponsoring a free Adaptive Golf Clinic from 1 – 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 11th at Val Halla. Register at www.maineadaptive.org
Maine in August is spectacular, and the greater Portland area combines the rocky coast with woods and mountains along with the world-class restaurants of one of the most livable cities on the east coast. We hope you will arrive in Maine to spend some time before the tournament or stay and visit after. One important thing to consider is that Maine is a very popular place in the summer and you will want to make your lodging plans early.
