Description
  • The mission of Mobility Golf is to increase opportunities for those who can't walk, to play golf. The immediate problem is that only about 2% of the 16,000 golf courses in the U.S. provide accessible golf cars. In addition, there is no information source for a disabled golfer to find the few golf courses that currently are accessible.

    Why Golf?

    Anyone with a traumatic injury or a progressive disease who loses the ability to walk faces many obstacles which often include depression and being excluded from normal activities. Golf is one of the few sports that a person who can't walk can play with friends and family and, as such, provides a re-entry to society, increases self esteem and demonstrates to the able-bodied world that a disabled person is "normal."
