2019 CHAMPIONSHIP
The Southern Amputee Golf Association (SAGA) a member of the National Amputee Golf Association (NAGA) is excited to bring our Regional Championship to Birmingham in May 2019. Highland Park Golf course has been selected as the host site, and the three-day event should be one to be remembered for our participants, volunteers and sponsors. The NAGA organization was created to be a source of rehabilitation to help people recover from their amputations. From a humble beginning with twelve men, the organization has grown to more than 2500 members including the Southern Region. In addition to a thriving base, NAGA is proud to offer “First Swing Clinics” to promote the sport of golf to any and all persons recovering from various types of injuries or disabilities. NAGA and its’ affiliate chapters conduct nearly 30 of these clinics each year that reach hundreds of participants. The support of sponsors is always needed to conduct a championship at the highest level. The funds raised will not only go toward the success of our planned events for the Championship, but also to assist our programs like First Swing and scholarships. Both SAGA and NAGA officers and members would like to thank you in advance for your donation and support. Without your aid, our organization could not conduct this event or continue the meaningful programs to assist our members and beyond. Thank you, 2019 SAGA Championship Tournament Committee

ANNUAL SAGA REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Juan Ordonez is a Colombian amateur golfer. He was involved in a near
fatal car accident at age seventeen. In addition to internal bleeding,
Juan su�ered severe trauma, a broken arm and a crushed le� leg. A few
years later Juan courageously elected to have his ailing leg amputated.
�is proved to be a good decision and six months later, he was riding
a bicycle. One of his friends took him to play golf and without expecting
much, later it would become his passion, therapy and a constant in his
life. Ordonez joined the National Amputee Golf Association (NAGA) �ve
years ago and has been heavily involved, organizing activities in his home
country and helps fellow amputees here in the United States.
Juan considers himself very fortunate to be able to count on his supportive
family. “�ey always come to all my activities and are my biggest fans”, says
Ordonez. “Golf has become the best therapy for me and I hope to share
this outlet and let others realize we all can turn any disability into an ability”.
�anks to golf, Juan has met amazing people and visited incredible places. His
goal is to continue being an example for people trying to overcome adversity.

Highland Park Golf Course
Birmingham, AL
Located in the heart of downtown Birmingham, Alabama, Highland Park is a favorite spot among residents
and visitors. An extensive $4.5 million renovation in 1998 transformed this beautiful course into an urban gem
that overlooks the energetic downtown skyline - the only course of its kind in the city and state. Enjoy a golf
experience unlike any other with our fun 18-hole layout, friendly staff, reasonable rates, and excellent course
conditions.
Golf Greens at Highland Park
Highland Park is well known for its
outstanding golf course conditions.
It offers well-manicured tees and
fairways and award-winning bent grass
greens that run fast and true. Highland
Park was even voted “Best Greens
in Birmingham” by Birmingham
Magazine.
Course Layout
The layout is fun and encouraging for
novice golfers yet enticing enough
for skilled golfers. This par-70 golf
course may play shorter than average
with over 5,800 yards from back tees, but packs quite the punch! Every hole on this Birmingham golf course
features elevation changes and a hazard or two. You’ll need to sharpen your short game skills to make par on this
Alabama golf course.
Numerous elevation changes, many holes with uphill approach shots, winding creeks that add character to the
course, several generous lakes, and heavily bunkered pristine greens are just a few of the fun surprises you’ll find
while playing at Highland Park.
Practice Facilities
Highland Park offers complete practice facilities, including driving range, putting green, private instruction areas
and a short game area complete with chipping green and sand bunker.
Practice facility hours include Monday from 7 a.m to dusk, Tuesday from 11 a.m to dusk and Wednesday -
Sunday 7 a.m. to dusk.
