Release
Using
the latest assistive computer technology from Madentec, people
with quadriplegia golfed right beside their able-bodied counterparts
on an actual course using a wheelchair-mounted computer running
Microsoft's Links LS 2000 golf software. A replica of the
Pelican Hill golf course was stored in the computer software
down to every detail. People with disabilities golfed virtually,
using the computer software and assistive technology.
These
people participated on the same teams as the able-bodied golfers.
The golfers with disabilities drove from hole to hole on the
real course in their powered wheelchair, following the shots
they are making on the computer mounted in front of them.
The other golfers will ride in slightly less style in powered
golf carts.
