This South African golfer instantly became a hero of mine because he is a paraplegic and he plays golf to a scratch handicap - off the normal tees that you and I play off.<br /><br />How does he do it?<br /><br />Answer; he was a touring pro before an accident led to his paraplegia. Now he has developed a golf cart that carries him round the course. When he arrives at his ball, the seat of his cart swivels round so that he can address the ball sideways on like the rest of us. But then, you better believe this, the machine stands him up so that he can address the ball just like the rest of us.<br /><br />Anthony lives and works in Germany so a lot to the information about him is in German, but it's worth visiting the <a href="http://www.ek-press.de/themes/AnthonyNetto.php" target="_blank">ek-press</a> web site just to see the pictures of this remarkable machine.<br /><br />You can learn more about Anthony at the <a href="http://web351.server11.webplus24.de/english/content/projekte/ks_anthony.htm" target="_blank">Globegolfer web site</a>.<br /><br />Inspired by Anthony Netto's story I am today building a section on disabled golf on my web site at <a href="http://www.winning-seniors-golf.com/">http://www.Winning-Seniors-Golf.com</a>.<br /><br />Your comments and suggestions on the subject of this blog will be most welcome.<br /><br />All the best<br />David<br /><b>URL:</b> <a href="http://www.winning-seniors-golf.com/">http://www.Winning-Seniors-Golf.com</a>.Golf Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07232277018912812172noreply@blogger.com
