Accessible Golf: Making It a Game Fore All. (2006). By Dan Drane and Martin Block. Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics.
Golf is one of the most ideal sporting experiences for persons of all abilities. Its rules, strategies, facilities, and equipment can easily be adapted to accommodate a wide range of individual needs. Authors Dan Drane and Martin Block address the specific tools for building a full-participation golf program, taking into consideration the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and community and individual member needs. Case studies and practical field-tested information help readers understand the individual needs of golfers with specific disabilities – cognitive, attentional, visual, hearing, and physical impairments.
Appendices include information on rules modifications, adaptive equipment, etiquette tips, and other various resources including ADA Accessibility Guidelines for making the golf course accessible.
