EAGA FACTS:

  1.  EAGA was incorporated in Bethlehem, PA in February 1987 as an affiliate of the National Amputee Golf Association. It covers 13 eastern states in the USA.
  2. Membership is open to any individual who has suffered the loss of one or more extremities at a major joint. Those with other types of amputations and disabilities are considered for membership on an individual basis. Associate memberships are available to non-amputees. Life Memberships are available to anyone interested. Members are welcomed from all over the United States.
  3.  EAGA is a not-for-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian organization formed to encourage the medium of golf as a rehabilitation and recreational activity for amputees and other physically challenged individuals and their families.
  4.  EAGA’s mailing list stands at just under 2,500 with excellent growth potential. Based on statistics compiled by the Amputee Coalition of America, there are 2,000,000 persons living with limb loss in the USA. More than a quarter of those amputees live in the region served by the EAGA. A substantial portion of these amputees are not aware of the EAGA and a successful Tournament at the Rossmoor Golf Club will enable an increasing percentage of this targeted population to be reached.
