Dear Mr. Scheer;

Thank you for your generous donation of the use of two single rider golf carts for our second annual G.O.A.L.L.S Adaptive Golf Challenge and clinic, and for sponsoring both breakfast and lunch for our teams.  We had 33 players with disabilities join 32 teams on April 3rd, 2006. 

We had many different mobility issues to meet at our challenge and though the use of your carts we were able to open up the world of golf to two different players, one with spina bifida and one with a neuro-muscular disorder.

The most rewarding part of the challenge was seeing the effect it had on some of the players.  Joey B. played golf for the first time in this tournament.  He had come out a couple of times to hit on the range, but in other cars could never get his legs adjusted right to make good contact with the ball.  I put him in your cart for the tournament and it made all the difference in the world!  He was able to move his legs out of the way and still feel secure enough to take a full swing.  You have a short video of Joey on your web site.  But even better than that is that he got to play golf with his father and his brother for the first time ever!  What a great feeling to no longer be left behind.

Again, thank you for your generosity and your innovative cart and for making a real difference for people with disabilities.

Sincerely

Judie Thompson

Steve Palermo Testimony

... Regardless of course conditions, the Atlas from E-Car Corporation has solved my dilemma of enjoying a round of golf with my friends...

After umpiring a baseball game between the then California Angels and Texas Rangers, I joined some friends for dinner at my favorite Dallas restaurant. As we were finishing dinner, an employee of the restaurant yelled out that two women were being beaten and mugged outside the restaurant. My friends and I went to the aid of these two women. As we were attempting to help them I was shot and suffered a serious wound to my spinal cord at the hands of four muggers, toting a .32 caliber pistol. The injury left me paralyzed below my waist. There was no movement and no feeling to my lower extremities. Doctors informed me and my wife of five months, that I would NEVER walk again.

After several years, which included long daily hours of physical therapy, I have regained the ability to walk with a leg brace and a cane. During all those torturous hours of therapy, my one goal, other than returning to my profession as a Major League Baseball Umpire, was to once again enjoy my passion, golf. Obviously, I would not be able to play without the use of a cart. But on days after a normal rain had fallen on my home course, carts were not permitted off the paths (as I’m sure it is at most golf clubs). I would watch my friends tee off and walk the course (which is physically impossible for me to do). Or, they would ride, solely along cart paths (which taxes my body to the point of unbearable pain when going from cart to ball and back to cart.) Without the use of a cart I can’t play golf.

Not anymore!! Regardless of course conditions, The Atlas from E-Car Corporation has solved my dilemma of enjoying a round of golf with my friends. The Atlas' weight does not do damage to a golf course fairway, whether it is dry or wet. Believe me!!!!

I recently played as an amateur in The Bayer Advantage Classic, a PGA Champions Tour event. It is a Pro-Am event that was played June 6-12 in Overland Park, Kansas, my home town. Thirteen inches of rain fell in 11 days leading up to and during the tournament. You talk about lift, clean, and place!!!! The Atlas got me everywhere I needed to go to be close to my ball. A Tour official informed me that I could go anywhere I desired. I parked next to tee boxes and close to greens. The Atlas never created damage or impressions in any of the soggy areas where I had driven or parked. These were extreme conditions. On an every day basis, the Atlas, a one golfer cart, is truly a remarkable innovation that allows an able or disabled golfer to enter areas that a conventional two person cart cannot. I can honestly say the Atlas has lifted my enjoyment of golf to another level. It has given me a sense of fulfillment, to once again compete with my friends and appreciate a day outdoors, playing golf. Thank you so very much for allowing me to once again enjoy my passion.
