Veterans and clinicians who attended and got a chance to swing the club and learn about adaptive golf all in all had a great experience. Thank you to those Veterans who signed up and came out for the day to meet our guest presenter Rick Monroe with the NAGA first Swing Organization and the various therapist from the VA, UNM and surrounding medical, rehab facilities. KAFB was indeed, the best host, accommodating our needs and providing us access to their SOLO Rider golf carts. If you have access to the Tijeras Arroyo Golf Course, I hope you take advantage and get out to swing the clubs. There are no more meet up and ride dates or meetings for the Veterans Cycling team this year.
