WR4GD Certification

The WR4GD Certification is a process that the game of golf uses to confirm that an individual has an impairment that severely affects their ability to play. There are three different types of passes an individual with a disability can apply for that can allow them to participate in different events. The WR4GD pass ensures that a qualified individual is eligible to participate in any adaptive golf event.

Ford Martin Overcomes in Playoff to Capture 2025 Title

The 2nd Chicago Adaptive Open delivered everything adaptive golf stands for — resilience, camaraderie, and excellence.

On a sun-soaked Sunday at Fox Bend Golf Course, Ford Martin (Nashville, Tenn. / Neurological & Coordination Impairment) sealed his victory with a clutch birdie on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff against Victor Postillion (Winfield, Ill. / Leg Impairment Above the Knee).

Martin finished the 36-hole championship at 2-over-par (73–73), powering a 340-yard drive over Fox Bend’s daunting creek on the decisive playoff hole.

“It feels like a major.”
— Ford Martin, 2025 Chicago Adaptive Open Champion
