"First
Swing" seminars are one-or-two day clinics which bring golf
professionals, physical and recreational therapists, and the physically
challenged together to teach, learn, and enjoy golf.
The First Swing began in 1988 and was
designed to instruct therapists to teach and encourage the disabled
to learn, or re-learn, the game of golf — not only because
just about every physically challenged individual, regardless of
age, is able to play, but also because it contributes dramatically
to the individual’s emotional and physical well-being, instilling
self-confidence and pride in personal achievement.
The First Swing also enables the individual
to enjoy the unique, friendly atmosphere found on the golf course.
Rehabilitation hospitals, parks, recreational departments and prosthetic
and orthotic centers host the one or two-day program.
