Abstract/Contents: | Discusses work which has been done by the USGA Foundation for the benefit of golfers with disabilities, including helping fund the National Forums on Accessible Golf, helping fund a study at Rutgers University to test the impact of carts and wheelchairs on golf surfaces, and launching the USGA Resource Center for Individuals with Disabilities. Discusses the formation of a National Alliance for Accessible golf to "develop solutions for making the game of golf accessible to persons with disabilities." Also discusses the development of the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. States that "in the end, we must do all we can to capitalize on the unique nature of a game that provides the ultimate in integrated recreation for people. Ultimately, it is about the magic of watching people do something that was outside of their personal realm of possibility and the impact that it has on their lives and the lives of others." |
