TSRHC patients will participate Saturday in a Learn to Golf clinic in Waco, Texas, taught by allied healthcare and golf professionals specially trained to teach children with physical challenges. Junior golfers will learn about golf safety, etiquette, driving, chipping and putting.
Golf is a fun and therapeutic way for children of all ability levels to build strength and learn a sport they can play for a lifetime. The Learn to Golf program, designed for patients with challenging physical conditions, provides the tools and instruction needed for patients to participate in and reap the rehabilitative benefits of golf.
Support for the Learn to Golf program is provided by funds from TSRHC donors, local businesses and individuals, the Professional Golf Association, Wadsworth Golf Charities Foundation and a multi-year grant provided by the United States Golf Association to aid in the expansion and enhancement of the program. There is no charge for patients to participate.
