Disabled Golf this Sunday needs your help!

By

Disabled golf needs your help!

For a mere R150.00, come and join the disabled golfers on Sunday 26th June 2011, at the Port Elizabeth Golf Course and take part and support this worthy organization of golfers, who not only have to battle against the weather but do so with one leg, no legs  or one arm. The organization needs to grow and without your support it is doomed into extinction.
I had the honour of playing alongside Graham Gouws in their last match at Humewood Golf Course, and boy, I was humbled by the way these golfers play the game with such a positive attitude. You would not think they have a disability the way they play always in high spirits, never playing a shot in anger, never letting a bad shot get them down. They even have nicknames for each other depending on the disability they each have.
Abled golfers play alongside the disabled golfers in this match. For abled golfers the format is stableford, the disabled golfers play stroke play as it counts towards their Regional points.
If you are disabled and think you can’t play golf, think again, pop in at the Port Elizabeth Golf Course on Sunday morning and have a chat to the guys here that play and see that it is possible for all disabled players to play golf.
Come and try and see if you can play the game. There will be lots of support and guidance to try out for disabled golf.
For all you abled golfers who have nothing to do on Sunday morning, come and play and so help Disabled golf in Port Elizabeth. 

Come! Support Disabled golf and come and play and have a wonderful day and enjoy their positive outlook. It may even rub off on you.

To make it a little even the abled golfers have to play the 14th par 3 hole as a revenge hole by playing that hole standing on one leg or using one arm.

Carts and halfway house for your own account. 

Contact Graham Gouws @ 083-3017501 to book your tee off time. Please feel free to donate a voucher or two or a small prize as a show of support to disabled golfing.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
