In the great state of WA we will be providing a great
opportunity for CEUs in conjunction with a PGA tournament. THAT'S RIGHT!
Get .7 CEUs (7 hours) on Tuesday, August 19th and by Friday be
attending the PGA tournament for free. In the morning of
the 19th will be education on various disabilities and ways to adapt golf for
the many abilities. You will have rotations to learn to use the
adaptive golf carts and adaptive golf gear. In the afternoon you will
work with people with varying disabilities and put in practice what you just
learned. It's a great day out on the Snoqualmie TPC where your $20,000
member fee is waived for the day! If you don't get a chance to come be a
therapist at this clinic, by all means at least tune in to the GOLF Channel on August
24th and see who wins the BOEING CLASSIC and if they have any footage of us
from our Tuesday clinic. Check it out:
This has been a great clinic since 2010 and has provided a
great opportunity for a PGA tournament to have more focus on people with
disabilities. Since we began, the tournament has been made more aware of
ways that they can make the tournament accessible and they have provided more space
and accommodations. Every year I see changes. It's been a fabulous side
benefit to the clinic.
We have a limited amount of spaces left and they are
filling with PTs faster than RTs. So I'm trying to hold a few spots
for RTs.
Of course, it is worth the flight to come out to WA in
August.
