Jeff
LeMoine’s blog from the Ontario PGA Show, Thursday
October 25, 2007
Late on Day 1 at the OPGA I had the pleasure of meeting
a very inspirational individual. Frank Peter was
involved in a car accident 22 years ago that left him
without the use of his legs. Frank was representing the
SoloRider booth at the show which produces a line of
adapted golf carts to allow people with disabilities and
physical limitations the ability to play golf. (If you
haven’t seen SoloRider’s carts I’ll have a few pictures
posted later today.) Once in the cart, golfers can
access every part of the golf course without causing any
damage to greens, tee blocks or even bunkers! The secret
lies in the way weight is distributed throughout the
cart so no impression is left on the greens and so sand
is simply smoothed out when driving in a bunker. But as
great as the actual cart was, what Frank had to say was
the real story.
