Rose
Creek Golf Course in Fargo, ND, Adds SoloRider To Help
Golfers with Limited Mobility Get Back in the Game
CENTENNIAL,
COLO. (July 6, 2007) - Rose Creek Golf Course in Fargo, ND,
has added a SoloRider golf car to its fleet to help golfers
with limited mobility get back in the game. Rose Creek is the
first course in Fargo to give seniors and players with a disability
full access to the game through the use of this innovative golf
car.
"We
had been looking to add a single-rider golf car to our fleet
and researched a number of options," said Matt Cook, head
professional of the 18-hole public course. "We were amazed
with the features SoloRider had to offer, especially the lift
seat."
Cook
said the course wanted to take a "proactive stand"
on golf accessibility and felt the SoloRider "gave us the
best opportunity to help a large segment of golfers enjoy the
game."
The
SoloRider golf car, which was presented the 2006 Excellence
in Achievement Award - New Product of the Year by the Association
of Private Clubs and Directors, features ergonomically designed
controls and a patented stand-up seat that helps players hit
their shots without leaving the comfort and safety of the vehicle.
The car's even weight distribution and advanced suspension system
make it safe to go on tees and greens without damaging the turf.
"There
are 46 million disabled Americans, and approximately five million
of them are candidates to play golf," said Roger Pretekin,
president of SoloRider. "By making a single rider golf
car available, Rose Creek is giving tremendous satisfaction
to golfers in its area and helping bring new players to the
sport."
