Down Syndrome and Golf
http://bit.ly/7KIe0V
Around age 10, if not hopefully way before,
parents with a child with Down syndrome
make the transition from therapy to sports
and recreation; from aquatic therapy to
swimming; from hippotherapy to horseback
riding. It was readily apparent from
Emmanuel�s first golf range practice
that he had an innate ability to
swing a golf club. ...
... For my wife, it is a matter of finding that
elusive adapted teaching method for Emmanuel
to learn how to hit that pesky tennis ball; for me,
after Emmanuel hits two large baskets at the golf
range and asks for a third bucket, why bother
with tennis or basketball or baseball? ...
