Brandon Canesi, Cassie Sengul, Jordan Thomas, Matt Gang, and Andrew Austen come together for a day of golf at Storm King Golf Club.
The Hudson Valley Golf Foundation welcomed the local community and five adaptive golfers to Storm King Golf Club for an event highlighting the talent of adaptive athletes and the importance of making golf more accessible.
The Hudson Valley Golf Foundation recently brought together adaptive golfers Andrew Austen, Jordan Thomas, Matt Gang, Brandon Canesi, and Cassie Sengul at Storm King Golf Club for a community event focused on raising awareness and expanding opportunities in adaptive golf.
The event invited members of the local community to experience adaptive golf firsthand, meet athletes who are helping shape the future of the game, and learn more about the Foundation's commitment to creating opportunities for golfers of all abilities.
Throughout the event, the five golfers showcased their skills while exploring Storm King's unique design. With expansive shared greens, multiple teeing areas, and the flexibility to approach holes from different directions, the property offers opportunities to adapt the golf experience to a wide range of players and abilities.
For the Hudson Valley Golf Foundation, the event reflected a larger mission to break down barriers to participation and create meaningful opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Through adaptive golf clinics, competitive events, and community outreach, the Foundation works to introduce new players to the game while supporting athletes who are already competing at a high level.
Beyond showcasing the abilities of these five golfers, the event provided an opportunity to connect with the local community, encourage conversations about accessibility, and demonstrate how golf can continue to evolve to welcome more participants.
Andrew, Jordan, Matt, Brandon, and Cassie also shared their experiences through social media, offering a closer look at Storm King and the role adaptive athletes play in growing the game.
As the Hudson Valley Golf Foundation continues to expand its programs and community partnerships, events like this reinforce its commitment to creating a more inclusive future for golf.
At Storm King, accessibility, creativity, and opportunity come together through GOLF REIMAGINED™.
