I recently had the opportunity to play golf in a charity tournament, which raised money to buy wheelchairs, to benefit those in need in Guatemala. I always love playing golf and it’s especially great when it’s for a great cause, talk about a win-win!  As a photographer I often take for granted my own mobility. When I’m taking senior pictures or family pictures at our portrait studio I’m always climbing up a ladder or getting down on my knees in some position that requires a lot of mobility. During the tournament our foursome came up to one of the tee boxes and saw an empty wheel chair. We were offered an opportunity to try to hit our golf ball while sitting in that wheelchair. Talk about a fish out of water. I flailed around with my driver and after several misses finally hit the ball but not quite the direction I was hoping. After that experience I  felt a great deal of appreciation for my ability to get around. I am looking forward to the next Golf 4 Wheels tournament next year.
