Golfing With Canes or Crutches
I like to play a little golf now and then-preferably, best ball! The gold course should be beautiful and the weather, perfect. I am a fair weather golfer. You may also golf now and then while using crutches, canes or a wheelchair. Well, the United States Golf Association has not forgotten us in their rules. These golf rules are applicable for all you serious golfers. The USGA says: The use of assistive devices, like crutches and canes, raises the question of what constitutes taking the stance.
The following Definition is recommended:
Stance: Taking the “stance” consists in a player who is using an assistive device placing the device and, if applicable, his feet in position for a preparatory to making a stroke. The assistive device is deemed to be part of the player’s stance.
Well, I learn something every day about disabilities and sports! I can’t help you with your golf game but if you want to have some custom made titanium crutches to match your new clubs, come check us out!
