Wheelchair golf - a sporting, paralympic discipline?

For people with severe disabilities, short golf certainly provides great enrichment.

A survey of wheelchair athletes in Paralympic disciplines is intended to confirm this statement and wheelchair athletes in these sports are invited to comment on it.

„Quads“ are clubs with equally long shafts – suited to the size of the player. The uniform lengths of the shafts always let the player`s distance to the ball remain the same. Another effect is that the swing pattern (Carving pattern) of the club’s head is always the same, regardless of the iron used. Clubs with equally long shafts allow the player to learn a movement much easier, his goal being, to achieve a high level of movement consistency. ... more

The human movements are, in regard to their possibilities and markedness, often traced back to basic simple principles. Such is also the case with the golf swing. The basic element of the golf swing ist the physical pendulum motion. In order for the pendulum motion to function correctly, certain prerequisites are required.These also include, next to rhythmic and dynamic conditions, the geometric conditions of the swing pattern. If these former conditions are disturbed, thereby causing the pendulum motion system to become unstable, the built up energies cannot fully be transferred to the ball at contact. They are partially lost. ... more

The idea of simplifying the golf game by using clubs of equal shaft lengths and applying a unified swing technique led to the isolation of the pendulum dynamics from the active body rotation. Both elements of movement stand in relation to one another. The golf swing is composed of numerous partial movements.
This complex system as a whole cannot be easily coordinated. CARVINGGOLF, however, does define core movements, which make such a systematic training of movement possible. ... more

When chipping, the head of the golf club has to hit the ball precisely, otherwise the grass is chipped but not the ball. No player around is free from having experienced this stress of approaching the ball, and numerous tournament near-victories have been lost at the last hole, due to poor chipping. Even the phenomenon of
the chipping yip exists. All of this is now past tense. CARVINGGOLF provides the player with a new approaching technique called the pendulum motion approach. This allows the player to achieve a more reliable and stress-free approach to the ball. ... more

The core element of the golf swing is the physical pendulum (ref. Grosser 2001). On the basis of this fundamental principal, Dr. Ferdinand Tusker and Florian Kreuzpaintner have developed a sport science training concept and in collaboration with Thomas Thöni – PGA 1 star professional – have defined its possible and practical use in a textbook. Up to now, CARVINGGOLF has rested upon three pillars: muscular tension, clubs having equal shaft lengths and a new technique called the CARVINGGOLF technique.
The development of this technique led to new insights regarding improvement of kinetic energy and precision and led to the
>> CARVINGGOLF “super” technique. ... more

Scientific studies have shown that a player can, through regular training, continuously improve and stabilize his playing performance even at a higher age. Therefore, a 50 to 60 year old player can , through a correctly measured training dosage, reach the biological performance of an 30 to 40 year old player. Hereby, an ideal “fountain of health” can be tapped, given a regular fitness work-out in combination with playing a round of golf. (Grosser). ... more

Prof. Dr. Manfred Grosser, the inventor of the “Universal Golf Learning System (UGLS)“, was the first to recognize the meaning of the HIPTURNER. By using this learning tool, the pupil can, through the use of peripheral vision, learn more rapidly and with less difficulty to turn correctly into the swing. The HIPTURNER is a much used learning tool at the Golf Academy within the Hartl Golf Resort at Bad Griesbach, Germany .

Executing the physical pendulum, the basic element of the golf swing, the core of the total movement to be exercised with the golf pupil, is the primary task of a golf teacher. It doesn’t matter what swing theory he prefers or which empirically derived training method he follows. The first task of the pupil is to learn how to correctly move to the rhythm of the physical pendulum, the basic element of the golf swing. An absolute necessity before being able to give his swing the necessary dynamics. ... more

The French word for foot sole means: the dynamo-metric map of equilibrium. A very fitting definition. Insoles, which encourage the front part of the foot to revive its natural function of support and movement could prove to be a real winner.
The patented MAGIC NET SOCK could be this winner. This sport sock has an open netting patch under the front foot, securing a direct contact between the sole of the foot and the shoe sole. This direct contact keeps the foot from slipping, improves blood circulation and supports a better foot stimulation. ... more

STEP WEDGE PLAY is a new way to play golf, where the player only approaches and putts. It is no secret that approx. 2/3 of all strokes pertain to the short game, meaning at least 36 putts and 18 approaches. The remaining 18 strokes made by a professional are long drives. STEP WEDGE PLAY is 100% golf, played as a short game using special clubs called Wedge Irons, and using a special swing technique called the STEP WEDGE TECHNIQUE played upon a special playing area, the golf park. ... more

It’s secret lies in the net structure made of synthetic material. The fibres of the net press lightly upon the surface of the grip and skin, there where the player develops grip pressure. The surfaces that are pressed upon each other remain immovable and the moisture drains throught he mesh. Similar to tires needing chains in the winter on ice and snow when the roads are slippery, the MAGIC NET GLOVE gives the player the secure grip when the playing gets “wet”! ... more

To all experienced golf players, when putting, the Yip is a well known concept and much feared opponent who seldom can be consciously defeated. The most prominent victim was Bernhard Langer, well-known German golfer. Earlier, holding the club with both hands always presented the risk of an uncoordinated move of the hands, resulting in the danger of hitting the ball with a lack of precision. The broomstick, a putter reaching up to and being held at the upper chest of the player and moved through pendulum motion, brought Mr. Langer back into the top international rankings. The putter is hereby held with the left hand under the players chin and with the right hand moved in the rhythm of the pendulum. The Yip was everywhere! ... more

Which golfer doesn’t have problems with his swing when it begins to rain and the grip of the club gets wetter and wetter? The towel, used to dry the hands and the grip, soakes up more and more moisture and at the same time the rain glove totally gives up its capability to keep the hands dry. At this time, frustration reaches its peak. The club slides in the hand, is loose, and the swing is shot!
The secret of the “Magic Net Glove“ lies in its net structure, made of synthetic material. The fibres of the net press lightly upon the surface of the grip and skin, there where the player develops grip pressure.
The surfaces that are pressed upon each other remain immovable, the moisture draining through the mesh.

GONE
is the vicious circle which has driven unsuspecting players toward more and more effort and continuously weaker strokes in their game finally driving them to desperation. Gone is the frustration which made players aggressive and then as a result depressive. Gone are the muscular cramps. Gone are the pains caused through slipped discs and slipped knee joints. Gone is the necessity to look up the doctor or go to the drugstore for pain relief. Muscular flexing instead of muscle pain. Made-to-measure golf is needed. ... more
