Becoming an Adaptive Golf Coach
MaryBeth Kohberger, PGA, www.totheteegolf.com
My mission, as a teaching Golf Professional, has been to help people enjoy the game of golf. Prior to the Gianna’s Adaptive Golfers Training, I hadn’t given much thought about the untapped golf market of people with disabilities. What a great way to bring joy to many people that may never have even considered that they could play golf. Golf can become a very important part of a person’s life, especially someone with different abilities.
In the training course, I learned so much valuable information. For example, we trained with hitting while wearing a prosthetic leg. The course is full of information to increase a teacher’s knowledge of how to help this special population. I was introduced to the many products that are available to help with an unconventional way of playing golf. When I heard about the course, I was concerned about the cost and how much of my time it was going to take up. It was well worth it! In addition to more knowledge on how to teach golf to people with different abilities, I now also have resources (https://adaptivegolfers.org) for anything I might need to help someone with different abilities learn to enjoy playing golf. Thank you for the course Gianna!
Teaching people in special populations

You sound like you are doing the work of God through adaptive golf..."loving , encouraging and giving hope through endless possibilities in golf."
"This is my also my reason for being involved as an educator of the game, and a giver of life through reaching those that can find joy and purpose through a new level of enjoyment, and hope, by hitting a golf ball or making a putt. It truly is "priceless", and my heart is so full when I can have the opportunity to facilitate this learning."
