Adaptive Golf

If I someday become physically disabled, golf is one sport I would still like to continue playing. Wheelchair golf also called adaptive golf is growing in popularity due to disability rights, customized equipment, adaptive golf instruction, and resources that become available to help physically disabled players learn and continue to play the game. Disabled golfers can play golf in specialized carts or wheelchairs. The carts have a swivel chair design and are weight balanced. These carts can travel over greens and difficult bunkers however the carts cost about $7500. More golf courses are considering these adaptive changes to allow for a variety of players.
