Innovation allows disabled golfers to play standing...
When I received an email about this innovation that will allow wheelchair bound golfers a chance to play standing, I couldn't help but think about how easy it is to take things for granted.
This golf wheel chair is the brain child of Anthony Netto a South African born golf professional and trainer. Anthony suffered a neck fracture after a car accident, in 1995.
This led to him being wheelchair bound for months. After numerous operations and a lot of time in hospital the 37-year old was able to resume work as a teaching pro in 1997. However, in October 2000, he suffered a further setback when multiple sclerosis struck him down. Since that time he has been confined to a wheelchair.
Thus came the inspiration for this wheelchair for disabled golfers.
