Golfers and tennis players will overcome these and other challenges at the 1998 Emory Tennis and Golf Challenge. Participants in the tournament, many of whom are current or former patients of the Center for Rehabilitation Medicine, destroy myths about the physically disabled on a daily, monthly and annual basis. Coordinators of the Emory Challenge, the only tournament of its kind in Georgia, pair physically challenged players with those challenged only by the game itself to compete. The golf competition will be held at The Orchard in Clarksville, Ga., on Sept. 3, and the tennis event will be at The Standard Club in Duluth on Sept. 11. Emory also offers the Adaptive Golf Workshop at River Pines in Alpharetta on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, where disabled golfers and instructors can hone their skills.
