What backs it

Jon Englund, an Army National Guard veteran and Meadowbrook Golf Club employee unable to play golf due to multiple sclerosis, received a ParaGolfer motorized sports wheelchair after a co-worker spotted one on social media and contacted the Stand Up and Play Foundation to arrange it.

Worth noting

The equipment will benefit other people with mobility challenges at the course; broader access outcomes are not yet measured.
