“ParaMotion”…is now in Canada

“ParaMotion”…is now in Canada. Jonas Nachtwey for “PBT” Power Base Tec from Germany introduced his New Invention the “PARAMOTION” A fantastic new drivable vehicle for our Wheelchair community that wants to experience golfing with Freedom and control. The inventor and his crew tested the ParaMotion cart at the ParaGolf Canada–Nitrogolf Training Centre in Langley, B.C. on July 1, 2023. A number of Wheelchair golfers had the opportunity to test the machine and found it was very easy to use and as one member said..”this makes me so Happy..that after all these years….I can now golf on a regular course with my boys”… The vehicle worked so well that they all wanted one for themselves.
The vehicle ( www.powerbasetec.com ) will be marketed in Canada by Tanelle Bolt from the RAD Society. A Registered Charity group in British Columbia. ( CRA tax exempt contributions-#73471 3696 RR0001) www.radsociety.ca

 

25 New Blind golfers attended the June 21, 2023 CANADIAN COUNCIL FOR THE BLIND

25 New Blind golfers attended the June 21, 2023 CANADIAN COUNCIL FOR THE BLIND-Introduction to Golf a Sports Day at the ParaGolf Canada-Nitrogolf Training Centre.

Such a great response by all the new golfers and their guide dogs and
personal guides. The 3 hour session was exciting for many since some
had never golfed. Everyone enjoyed themselves and found the new
experience enlightening and so much fun….As one member put it…”I’m going golfing now”
The sports day was a 3 day event with introduction to Golf, Lawn
Bowling, Hiking and Dragon Boat racing with Members coming from all over British Columbia. Darren Douma the lead for the group said that the Golf introduction clinic was a success as you can tell by the smiles on their faces. Thank you coach and See you next year again.
