My name is Sarah and I have to use a wheelchair because I have been paralysed since birth. I have been looking for a sport that I can play. I tried basketball but was too short and slow. My doctor recommended that I try golf in a program called KidSwing. I didn’t know anything about golf, but now it is my favorite sport and it is lots of fun. I can stand for a little while with orthopedic braces on my legs, but somebody has to hold me. This works for a little while, but the Paragolfer is better because I can go around the golf course and even into the sand. When I use the Paragolfer, a special shell seat helps me stand up and stay straight while hitting the ball. I can putt very well and am learning to drive straight to protect the grass.
My classmates at the integrative school are a little jealous of me when I talk about our KidSwing training. I can’t wait to start training on the driving range for the next golf season.
