Super Golf Wheel Chair that allows disabled golfers to play normally

Last week, when I was on the driving range I noticed a number of disabled young people working on their games. I was very much a young woman who, despite the fact that they sat in a wheelchair, was shot with the ball just about 120 to 150 meters. It 'been a pleasure to watch them play. Every time I hit a good shot her face lit up in a smile of pure pleasure.

Looking at these young people have with me a good time to think.

A goodMy friend is a disabled golfer. He lost a leg in a landmine accident when his military service as a young man was. Bob has never allowed his handicap golfers to get in the way in a very competitive environment. In fact, this year chose the captain of our golf club.

So last Saturday I drove Bob in the corner and asked him to tell me more about disabled golf. Now Bob is a real fan, I drove for half an hour in a corner, but it was worth it, becauseHe told me about this amazing wheel chair for disabled golfers golf paraplegics. Take a closer look at the photo on my site.

This golf wheel chair is the brain child of Antonio a professional network of South African born golf and trainer. Anthony suffered a neck fracture after a no-fault car accident in 1995. This led him to be months in a wheelchair. After several surgeries and a lot of time in hospital the 37-year-old was able to work as a teaching pro in 1997, to resume. However,In October 2000 he suffered a further setback when multiple sclerosis struck him. Since then, he is confined to a wheelchair.

Netto is a fighter, he said: "Thou shalt not die from this disease." A cycle of magnetic field therapy helped him, but he wanted his life as a professional and training to this end has started the special golf wheel chair, which allows them to develop to resume play.

The chair, a tank battery, drives him toOf course, like any other buggy. But when it comes to his ball, pivots to the seat so that his ball in the face. The seat is then to him and supported him so that the address of the ball, like a "normal" golfers.

The wheelchair golf works well because Anthony Netto is now the coach of the German national disabled golfers team and he started the project KidSwing for disabled young people to teach golfers. He works successfully with sick and disabled children in Cologne,Germany. Its goal is "golf as therapy and rehabilitation to establish control."

As far as I can find the golf chair is currently just entering production on a very small scale to go. E 'therefore expensive, my informant was not sure but thought the price is currently about € 17, 000.00 (about $ 22,000.00.) I expect this to drastically reduce the price once mass production begins.

My informant also told me that the company marketing the golf wheelChair is a way to limit the percentage of the profit so that the wheelchair disabled widely available to run courses for golfers.

There is more information about Anthony, some pictures of his golf wheel chair and links to other sites that talk about this wonderful machine on the Winning Senior Golf site.
