‘Sports with a Purpose’ Helps Disabled Veterans

By Staff Report | Sports

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Bill Yaiser of Second Chance Sports will help host “Sports with a Purpose” at the Saratoga National Golf Club next Tuesday, August 20. The golf outing is a chance for disabled community members and Wounded Warriors to see first-hand how the game of golf can still be played without standing. Whether someone is looking to participate or see how people can golf from the seat of a custom-made golf cart, the event starts at 6 p.m. 

“People come back from battle and this is a very therapeutic type of thing, helping as a mental cure for the wounded,” Yaiser said.

Yaiser and Second Chance Sports are looking to raise money to make more retro-fit carts, like the ones designed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students, to be spread across the country.

For more information contact Yaiser at (518) 491-0555.
