Golf is the only sport which allows to disabled and ablebodied players to compete joining the same team, on the same courses, using almost the same rules. This is why it is an excellent medium to promote integration; in addition, it has positive effect on the players’ psychophysical health.

Since 1998, the aim of the Federazione Italiana Golf Disabili (Italian Golf Federation for Disabled - FIGD) is to promote this sport in Italy. The FIGD is member of the Federazione Italiana Golf (Italian Golf Federation - FIG), of the Federazione Italiana Sport Disabili – Comitato Italiano Paralimpico (Italian Paralympic Committee - CIP), and also of the European Disabled Golf Association (EDGA).
