For children learning to putt, Convert-a-Hole
creates a larger more acceptable target for
beginning golfers. If young players are able to
make a putt the game becomes more enjoyable
and that positive feedback stimulates them to
try more.
Cure putters are also supporting Matt’s efforts
and their unique design allows Matt to more
easily fit a putter for a particular student. The
company has been very supportive of his efforts
and have donated putters for his physically
challenged students.
Matt is happy to announce that he has just
signed with MySwing Golf to provide the latest
digital swing analysis available for his students.
Matt Lake is bringing golf to Physically
Challenged Children, One Swing at a Time.
He has not let his physical limitations hold
him back and instead used them as a means
to help special needs children find a way to be
involved in a sport that can give them hours of
entertainment. The simple action of learning to
properly hit a golf ball can provide confidence
and enjoyment for these children.
He suffered taunting and discrimination his
entire life, but that has not stopped him from
playing golf, being a professional caddie and a
teaching professional.
Lake through his foundation and teaching
academy brings the lessons he learned from
the best players and golf instructors in the
world to help physically challenged and
hearing impaired children in northwest Ohio
and southeast Michigan.
All funds for the Matthew Lake Foundation are
used solely to provide equipment and training
for children with disabilities. If you would like
