What is an
adaptive golf car?
| |
An
adaptive golf car is one that assists golfers with
limited or no mobility. |
How does the Golf XpressÒ
assist the golfer?
| |
Golf XpressÒallows
the golfer with mobility challenges to compete and
keep pace with any other golfer. It is designed to
have a golfer play entirely from the
car (if needed) as it can go onto the tees, into the
traps and roughs, and onto the greens without damaging
the course. |
How does Golf XpressÒ prevent
damage to the course?
| |
First,
Golf XpressÒ
is lightweight and rides on smooth balloon-type tires,
making for a very light impression on the turf. The
rear wheels are set outside of the front, so each
blade of grass is run over only once.
Golf XpressÒ
is battery powered, so no
gas or oil leaks onto the course. Finally,
acceleration and deceleration rates are adjustable and can be modified,
if necessary, to make
for smoother starts and stops. |
How can you play seated?
| |
The
seat on the
Golf XpressÒ is height adjustable and
rotates 360º to allow the golfer to get into
the best position for their shot. The seat can be
stopped anywhere in that rotation, not just at
predetermined spots. The golfer uses our unique
wraparound handrail to first transfer onto the car,
drive to their ball, and then uses that same handrail
to position themselves for a shot. An adjustable
restraint (a.k.a. seat belt) can be loosened or
tightened to allow the golfer more or less of a body
angle when swinging. |
How can I drive and use the
Golf XpressÒif I can't use my legs?
| |
All
controls are hand operated - either right or left.
Squeeze to move and release to stop. All items you'll
need, from clubs to tees, are easily within reach.
There is also a convenient storage area. |
Do I need special clubs to
play from a
Golf XpressÒ?
| |
No,
special clubs are not required, but it's really a
matter of personal preference. Many
Golf XpressÒ riders
use regular off-the-shelf clubs while some are more
comfortable with a design specifically suited to their
style. It depends on how you choose to adjust the
seat, how far you choose to lean out, and how you
swing. |
I have some mobility, what
can Golf XpressÒ do for me?
| |
Two
things mainly. If you can stand but not walk or
balance, you can use the
Golf XpressÒ arm rests and
a special
restraint belt to get into a standing position where
you are held in place between the seat and restraint.
If you can walk short distances, you can use
Golf XpressÒ just to get close to your ball
and conserve your energy. After you
take your shot,
Golf XpressÒ is right there to take you
away. |
