Adam Benza

Adam Benza is our lead instructor. He’s a below-knee amputee who lost his right leg due to cancer (Ewing’s Sarcoma) at the age of 9, after an infection set in resulting in a failed bone salvage. Playing sports throughout his youth, he quickly found a passion for golf.

Adam has competed and won numerous amputee events (EAGA: 3 Eastern Regional Titles, SWAGA: Amputee Champion 2010, and NAGA: Below Knee Champion 2011 and 2019), consistently in the Top 10 at NAGA Championships, won five club championships, represented the USA in the first Disabled Golf Team Championships, played on numerous International Team Matches, competed twice in the U.S. Adaptive Open, plus more.

Adam’s goal is to use his love for golf and knowledge of teaching to grow the game of golf for future generations, specializing in instructing persons with disabilities, by forming his own nonprofit, Moving Foreward.
