The golf competition will involve a nine-hole course play, including an individual skills contest and a Unified format which involves Special Olympics Michigan athletes participating on the same team with non-Special Olympics Michigan athletes. Unified partners are often family members or friends of athletes competing alongside them.

The State Golf & Softball Finals would not be a success without all of the people involved, including athletes, volunteers and sponsors. The State Golf & Softball Finals brings together more than 100 volunteers who help the athletes compete in their respective sports.
