OPAF Golf in New Orleans

Two important golf events will be held during the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists February 25-28 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Thranhardt Spring Golf Classic rolls onto the fairway at the Golf Club of New Orleans at Eastover on Wednesday, February 25. Buses will depart from the front door of the Hyatt Regency New Orleans at 7:30 AM and tee off will be at 9:00 AM.

Individual play is $150 and includes green fees, cart fees, range balls, bag drop service, lunch, and two drink tickets. The Thranhardt Spring Golf Classic benefits the Orthotic & Prosthetic Assistance Fund, Inc. (OPAF) and is, as OPAF points out, "an excellent opportunity to have fun, make business contacts, and network with colleagues, all while supporting OPAF's mission: to enable individuals with physical disabilities-especially those served by members of the orthotics and prosthetics community-to enjoy the rewards of personal achievement, physical fitness, and social interaction.

Through OPAF's partnership with the National Amputee Golf Association (NAGA), the First Swing Clinic brings adaptive golf techniques to all people with disabilities. On Saturday, February 28, OPAF brings the First Swing Clinic to New Orleans.

The first half of the Clinic offers the basics of the game of golf to O&P practitioners and physical/recreational therapists, as well as others who are interested in teaching golf to individuals with physical disabilities. Practitioner participants are invited to swing a club-standing on one leg, sitting in a wheel chair, or using only one hand-to appreciate more completely the new demands that will be made upon their educational training as they teach others. The second half of the clinic is devoted to the newly instructed practitioners and therapists instructing participants with disabilities under the expertise of NAGA members.

The First Swing Clinic is free and open to all. For more information and to register for the First Swing Clinic, go to http://www.opfund.org/programs/life.html
