See note below from the organizer for more information. Thanks. Deb

Hello:

Thank you for your interest in the Adaptive Golf Event we are trying

to organize. Many of you have asked for more details.

Unfortunately, at this point I don't have many. We just started to

get the word out this week and are going to assess the interest

level. The number of children will determine how many Pros we need

among other things. We will try to pick a date for the event as

soon as possible so everyone can plan accordingly.

The other question was about location. At this time, I have a

commitment from the First Tee facility at Washington Park to conduct

the event on their driving range. This is located in Newburgh

Heights just outside of downtown.

Another likely question is about the format. Our current thinking

is that we will schedule 30-45 minute slots for individual, one-on-

one instruction for the participants throughout the day. For this

initial event, the time will be spent on the driving range. Longer

term, the goal is to do something on the course.

Finally, someone inquired about the cost of the event. The plan is

for the event to be free. All costs will be covered from funds we

raised in our annual golf scramble last September.

Again, thank you for your interest and please free feel to spread

the word about the event. As more details are known, I'll be in

touch.

Dan.

I'd like my eight-year-old son to get into golf. But I can't even get

him to bat a baseball off of a " tee " or play soccer or basketball or

rollerblading longer than 20 minutes.

Would a golf pro be able to work with my son and others like him?

Thank you,

Lori
