Teaching the Disabled

This past year I had the opportunity to give lessons to a woman in her early 50′s that has a prosthetic leg.  We worked first on balance issues, then on a short swing that could repeat without any physical problems. She is now enjoying the game. I also teach a young boy who has autism, every week now since June. He has taught me more than I could ever teach him!
