Los
Lagos Golf Course in San Jose Adds SoloRider
To Help Golfers with Limited Mobility Get Back in the Game
CENTENNIAL,
COLO. (Dec. 10, 2007)
Los Lagos Golf Course in San Jose, Calif., has added a SoloRider
golf car to its fleet to help golfers with limited mobility get
back in the game. The city-owned 18-hole, par 68 course is one of
the first courses in the San Jose area to give seniors and players
with a disability full access to the game through the use of a single-rider
golf car.
"Adding
the SoloRider has enabled us to serve the entire community of San
Jose, which was extremely important to us," said Scot Hathaway,
general manager of Los Lagos. "SoloRider was the most versatile
single-rider golf car out there, and we were impressed by the many
unique features, especially the lift seat."
The
SoloRider golf car, which was presented the 2006 Excellence in Achievement
Award - New Product of the Year by the Association of Private Clubs
and Directors, features ergonomically designed controls and a patented
stand-up seat that lifts and rotates to help players hit their shots
without leaving the comfort and safety of the vehicle. The car's
even weight distribution and advanced suspension system make it
safe to go on tees and greens without damaging the turf.
"There are 46 million disabled Americans, and approximately five
million of them are candidates to play golf," said Roger Pretekin,
president of SoloRider. "By making a single-rider golf car available,
the Los Lagos Golf Course is helping golfers get back in the game
and helping bring new players to the sport."
