Golf is an interesting sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities.

• A torque absorber will help compensate for rotational and shear forces on the residual limb.
• A prosthetic foot with good energy return and an artificial knee that provides some stance control are items to be discussed with your prosthetist - be sure to tell your prosthetist before your fitting that you plan to spend a lot of time golfing on the limb so that the right selection of components is made.
• Spiked golf shoes may pose a problem because they reduce rotation, especially when the amputee is not wearing a torque absorber.
• Bilateral above-knee amputees who have difficulty with balance can tee off in a number of ways: sitting on a bicycle seat on a tripod; sitting on a thick pillow in a wheelchair that has no arms; sitting in a golf cart with a swivel seat; standing or leaning against the cart.
• If walking the course is too difficult you can rent a motorized golf cart.

Information for golf for arm amputees can also be of interest, especially if you are a multiple amputee.
