Golf is a game for …

You can fill in the rest of the sentence a lot of different ways, but consider this…

We’re working on a project for SoloRider, the leading manufacturer of single-passenger golf cars designed for the mobility-impaired. I won’t use this post for an explication of the product’s features. Rather I prefer to fill in the sentence begun in the headline this way:

Golf is a game for Skipper.

Dean Wagner art directed a shoot today, and the talent (or “model”) really lived up to the description (”talent,” that is). Here’s what Dean reported: “Keith, our model in the green shirt … is impaired, and the reason the SoloRider is there [at Longleaf, the site of our photo shoot]. He is a former skipper of a nuclear submarine.”

I’ve always said you meet the best people - many of them at their best - on the golf course. A product like this just means you have the chance to meet more of the best people.

One Response to “Golf is a game for …”

  • There are hundreds of thousands of Skippers out there. For many of them to enjoy the game of a lifetime, all they need is a little help. That’s what SoloRider is … a little help for some folks who really appreciate it.
