The £10,000 Paragolfer machine aids the ailing rich
Naveen | Jun 25 2009

Enjoying a round of Tiger Woods PGA Tour on the Nintendo Wii looks to be the best thing the paralyzed golfing enthusiasts can ever think of. For them, swinging a golf club on a real course is something they could just dream of, but with the Paragolfer machine, the paralyzed can actually take a swing on a real course to compete with the healthy golfers. Priced at £10,000 ($16,450), the Paragolfer machine features a high rising seat that helps the paralyzed stand upright to tee off. With this high-tech machine, a golf enthusiast named Graham Hunt, who is paralyzed from the waist down, is now enjoying real golf. The 24-year-old went crazy about the game after he played a simulated version on his Nintendo Wii. His coach Tom Hide said that Hunt, with his Paragolfer machine, could give some of their members a run for their money.
