Golf Bags With Stands

Last week, when on the driving range I noticed a number of young job disable their games. I was very impressed by a young man, despite the fact that she was sitting in a wheelchair, was able to drive the ball straight into about 120 to 150 meters. It was a real pleasure to see. Each time you hit a good shot her face lit up a smile of pleasure.

As for how well these kids have made me think.

A good friend of mine is a golfer disabilities. He lost a leg during an incident at the mines served in the army as a young man. Bob has never allowed his inability to stand in the way of himself in a very competitive player. In fact, this year was elected captain of our Golf Club.

On Saturday last I cornered Bob and asked him to tell me more about disabled golf. Now, Bob is passionate about, then I found myself trapped for half an hour, but worth it, because I talked about this chair incredible round of golf for golfers paraplegic. Check out the photos on my website.

This wheelchair, golf is the brain child of Anthony Netto South African-born professional golf and coach. Anthony suffered a neck fracture after a no-fault automobile accident in 1995. This leads to be in a wheelchair for months. After many operations and long in the hospital in 37 years was able to resume work as a profession of teaching in 1997. However, in October 2000, suffered another setback when multiple sclerosis struck down. Since then he has been confined to a wheelchair.

Netto is a fighter, said: "We do not die of this disease.Â" A race of the magnet field therapy helped, but he wanted to resume his life as professional education and to this end, began to develop the special wheelchair golf, which allowed him to play again.

The chair, powered by a battery tank, driven around the course like any other car. But when it comes to his ball, the seat turns around so that it can handle the ball. The former headquarters and supports him so you can address his ball, the golfer as "normal.

The wheelchair course that works well because Anthony Netto is now the coach of national team players German wheelchair accessible and has initiated projects to teach young KidSwing golfers with disabilities. It works successfully with sick and disabled children in Cologne Germany. Its aim is "to establish golf as a therapy and a rehabilitation program.

As the golf course is in a wheelchair is just beginning to go into production on a tiny scale. It is expensive, my informant, I'm not sure, but felt that the price is around an approx € 17,000.00 ($ 22,000.00). I expect prices to fall dramatically once mass production starts.

My informant also said that the company selling the wheelchair Course is organized so as to limit the rate of return for the wheelchair course more widely available to disabled golfers.

More information about Anthony, some pictures of her wheelchair and golf courses to other sites that talk about this wonderful machine in the website of Golf Winning the elderly.
