Why Adaptive Golf?
Doctors around the country have found that golf is one of the finest rehabilitation tools
for physically challenged patients who have suffered from strokes, heart attacks, M.S.,
severe arthritis, brain damage, amputation of a limb, etc. They have discovered that golf:

4) Improves patient compliance
5) Provides hands-on instruction to the therapists
6) Creates a better therapist/patient understanding of the challenges faced
7) Allows the therapists to do the actual teaching
8) Is a rewarding and popular sport
9) Can be played by anyone, regardless of age or physical disabilities
