The Salute Military Golf Association (SMGA)

摘要

Athletes from around the world gathered in Beijing last month to test their skills. Priorto the games, however, a swimmer and a sprinter-Natalie Du Toit and Oscar Pistorius, both from South Africa-captured media attention around the world as the first amputees ever to qualify for this competition. Closer to home, US service men and women who have lost limbs on the frontline in Iraq and Afghanistan demonstrate the same spirit of sportsmanship and determination on the golf course instead of a pool or a race track. They may not claim international newspaper headlines, yet they too have achieved victory over injuries. They are strong, brave, and focused.
