There's a new Golf Board Game that allows young and senior shut ins to experience the real game of golf, just like on a real course with par 3's, 4's and 5's, water holes, sand traps and tree lined fairways .
All the joys and frustrations of the real game on a real course, for the first time, people unable to play on a real course can participate in tournaments just like the pros .
Developed in Europe where the weather restricts play in both summer and winter, golfers wanted something to play other than bridge etc, when weather interfered with play .
When the game was first introduced teaching professionals found it provided an excellent teaching aid to teach beginners about club selection and course management .
The game called Board Golf Challenge was recently introduced in the United States on a limited basis in Florida, the PGA was offered an opportunity to make the game part of their Special Olympics Program, to take the game of golf to people those who need activities available to their peers free to enjoy the great outdoors.
Free games have been offered to Tiger Woods Kids Program , hopefully the PGA and Tiger's organization will avail themselves of the opportunities these special programs offer to the shut ins and underprivileged children.
