Super Golf Wheel Chair Allows Disabled Golfers to Play Standing Up – by David Ferrers

    Amazing new golf wheel chair allows paraplegic golfers to play standing up. (PRWEB) March 30, 2005 — This amazing new Golf Wheel Chair is powered by a tank battery. It needs to be because it drives the wheel-chair bound golfer around the course just like any other buggy. However, when he arrives at his ball, the seat swivels round so that he can face his ball. The seat then stands him up and supports him so that he can address his ball, just like a ‘normal’ golfer. This golf wheel chair is the brain child of Anthony Netto a South African born golf professional and trainer. Anthony suffered a neck fracture after a no-fault car accident, in 1995. This led to him being wheelchair bound for months. After numerous operations and a lot of time in hospital the 37-year old was able to resume work as a teaching pro in 1997. However, in October 2000, he suffered a further setback when multiple sclerosis struck him down. Since that time he has been confined to a wheelchair. Netto is a fighter; he told himself, “One does not die from this disease.“ A course of magnet-field therapy helped him, but he wanted to resume his life as a teaching professional and to that end he started to develop the special golf wheel chair, which has enabled him to play again. The golf wheel chair works well because Anthony Netto is now the trainer of the German national disabled golfers team and he has initiated project KidSwing to teach young disabled golfers. He works successfully with sick and disabled children in Cologne, Germany. His aim is: “to establish golf as a therapy and a rehabilitation scheme.” As far as I can find out the golf wheel chair is currently just starting to go into production on a very small scale. It is therefore expensive, my informant wasn’t certain, but he thought the price was currently around
