Art Neville, who drives handicapped golfers to Family Golf on the North Service Road in Oakville, is ove?â€" whelmed by the enthusiasm, "The program is excellent &s it gets people participating and this is good." e Those who participate in the program are truly remarkâ€" able, and they all have strong spirits said Ken Hazelden, treasurer for Golf for the Physically Challenged. "Thefe was a guy who was in a wheelchair who was told by dotâ€" tors that he wouldn‘t be able to walk again," he said. By the end of the season, he could stand up to golf (with a walker)." * Dunbar says that the program motivates and gives hope to its participants. "So many of them thought that they could never do anything again," she said. Lee, who had a terrible accident, paralyzing her from the chest down, says that Golf for the Physically Challenged is one of the few sports physically challenged people can participate in. "That is why many of the particâ€" ipants are so dedicated," she said. a One man demonstrated his dedication when he was out playing golf from his wheelchair on a cold day in late fall. "He shot 400 balls in an afternoon, from a wheelchair, and it was cold!" said Jill Dunbar, chairman of Golf for the Physically Challenged. Lee Middleton, who is President for the Association of Handicapped Adults, says that she was present at the opening day of Golf for the Physically Challenged three years ago. She is now out golfing from her wheelchair every week. "I absolutely love it!" she said. "I had never held a club in my hand, I thought that it was boring! But now, to be able to do something physical is marvellous!" * The program Golf for the Physically Challenged gives physically challenged and disabled people the opportunity to do a physical activity with the help of special devicés and encouragement from special volunteers. Equipment includes a ball dispenser which releases a golf ball when tapped with a golf club, and chairs which adjust to almost any position. ® By PATRICIA MARTIN Special to the Beaver Everyone jump!
