| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a program developed at The Club Pelican Bay in Naples, Florida. States that "a unique relationship was established between the golf course maintenance deaprtments at Pelican Bay and Sunrise of Collier Country...Sunrise is an agency that assists developmentally or mentally challenged individuals, such as those with Down's Syndrome, and places them in various jobs." Also states that "Pelican Bay currently is the only golf club that participates in the work program. The Director of Operations at Pelican Bay, Bob Bittner, [Certified Golf Course Superintendent] CGCS, has supported this program from the beginning and appreciates the service provided by the organization." Briefly profiles a course employee from this program, Geoffrey Ellis (J.T.), who "assists the golf course service staff and helps set up the golf course from Monday through Friday." Concludes that "golf courses offer more than just benefits to golfers and wildlife. They can assist in the growth of developmentally challenged individuals as well. While not every course can participate in such a program, there certainly is room for other golf courses to get involved and make a difference in their communities." |
