No Boundaries, a veteran organization coordinating special trips for combat-wounded veterans, conducted their annual No Boundaries Veteran Golf Tournament at Jupiter Country Club. 14 veterans who have never played golf were paired with club members and local golfers for a golf scramble event. After a short clinic in the morning, the tournament was underway. All contest prizes won by the golfers were awarded to their veterans in the group, and the biggest prize was the opportunity to spend a few hours with our country’s heroes.
Program Director Zack Anderton was invited to play in the event, and our Chapter provided a Stand Up and Play ParaGolfer for a double amputee veteran. The veteran was able to use this specialized wheelchair to stand vertically and play golf. His straight ball was the anchor of the team, and after he learned how to control his putter speeds, and helped lead his team to multiple birdies for the day.
