2017 STATE
GOLF
TOURNAMENT
Special Olympics Delaware athletes and
Unified partners from across the state
teed off at the annual Special Olympics
Delaware State Golf Tournament on
Tuesday, September 26th at Maple Dale
Country Club.
The tournament was played over nine
holes in alternate-shot format with
each Special Olympics athlete paired
with a Unified partner (a peer without a
disability). Athletes and Unified partners
trained together for several months by
attending clinics and outings. Unified
partners are often parents, siblings or
friends of the athletes.
In addition to the tournament, select
athletes competed in a skills event
featuring driving, chipping and putting
contests.
