Last week, when I was in practice I noticed a number of young disabled people to work on their games. I was very impressed by a young woman who, despite the fact that she sat in a wheelchair, only to drive the ball about 120-150 meters. It 'been a pleasure to see them play. Every time I hit a good shot her face brightened into a smile of pure pleasure.
Looking at these young people at a time so good it made me think.
A good friend ofMine is a disabled golfer. He lost a leg in a mine accident when he served in the army as a young man. Bob has never allowed his disability stand in the way in a very competitive golfer. In fact, he was elected captain this year in the golf club.
Then Saturday I cornered Bob went and asked him to tell me more about disabled golf on it. Now Bob is a true fan, I drove for half an hour in a corner, but it was worth it becauseHe said that on this golf wheelchair surprising Paraplegic disabled golfers. Look more closely at the photo on my site.
This golf wheel chair is the brain child of Anthony an African born golf professional in the South and less buses. Anthony suffered a neck fracture after a no-fault automobile accident in 1995. This led him to a wheelchair for months. After numerous operations and had a lot of time in hospital 37-year-olds to work in a position as a curriculum vitaeThe teaching profession in 1997. However, in October 2000 he suffered a further setback when multiple sclerosis has cleared. Since then he has been confined to a wheelchair.
Net is a fighter, he said to himself: "You must die for this disease." In the course of magnetic-field therapy helped him, but he would resume his professional life as teaching and to this end he began to develop the special golf wheel chair, which has allowed.
The chair, powered bya tank battery, drives him around the course like any other buggy. But when it comes to his ball moves in the saddle, so that his ball in the face. The sitting and then support him, that address his ball, like a "normal" golfers.
The wheelchair course works well because Anthony Netto is now the coach of German national disabled golfers and has initiated project KidSwing disabled golfer to teach young people. He works successfully withsick and disabled children in Cologne, Germany. Its aim is to "create scheme golf as therapy and rehabilitation."
Where can I find the wheelchair course is currently just starting to scale in production is very small. E 'therefore expensive, my informant was not sure, but thought it was, the price is currently about an amount of 17, 000.00 (about $ 22,000.00.) I would expect that the price of production drastically once the mass starts to decrease.
My informanttold me that the marketing company wheelchair course is run in a way golfers benefit limit his part for the disabled, wheelchair courses more widely available.
There are more information about Anthony, some pictures of his wheelchair and links to other Web Sites That course talk about this wonderful machine on the Seniors Golf Winning Website.
