Lytham Green Drive Golf Club introduces Paragolfer for disabled players
Summary

On June 5, Lytham Green Drive Golf Club showcased the Paragolfer, an all-terrain mobility device enabling individuals with lower limb disabilities to play golf. Alistair Bonham, paralyzed from a skiing accident, expressed his joy at being able to stand and swing a club again. The device costs around £28,000, prompting the club to launch a fundraising campaign supported by Sport England and the Bobby Ball Foundation.
