My photograph was taken a few days ago. OK a few months ago.
OK many years ago. The original blog was
about a trip across the USA from coast-to-coast in July and August 2012 to give
support and raise money for James Gribble with his Puffinmagic Foundation in
Australia. The original trip covered
over 5,000 miles and lasted 16 days. Four Australians including my son made the
journey from Los Angeles to New York city..
Over the years other events that friends held for James have
been a canoe trip down the Murray, climbing mountains and swimming the English
Channel. The trip across America was fun and used very little effort or had any
real danger or self sacrifice. Since then the mascot, Peter Puffin, has been to
Nova Scotia, Nashville, New Mexico the Ozarks and all points in between. James Gribble in 2014 closed Puffin Magic and
started Empower Golf Australia. It is the only nationally operating disability
golf organization supporting Australians of all abilities.
The benefits of Empower golf to enhance positive
psychological, social and physical benefits of golf for people with
disabilities, increase participation, raise awareness of disabled
sport, play a critical role in changing community perceptions of people
with disabilities and provide inclusive equipment, services, facilities
and advocacy. Ames and his organisation is all over Australia with clinics and special
teaching pros but the social aspect is probably the most import to get players
out and socializing.
