There’s an amazing story to be told about PARA-GOLF in our country! It’s history, how did it start, and the positive impact golf has had on so many disabled individuals. How golf has strengthen the lives of the disabled, grown a sense of camaraderie and leadership in growing the game, and how golf offerings grew to include such a large disabled population. Who are today’s leaders in Para-Golf in the USA? Who are the world ranked athletes in our country who play the game internationally and want to share their life stories to encourage others—personally leading others to understand that no matter their personal set back, one doesn’t give up. ​

Readers will be inspired by how you overcame your personal setback, inspired by how you took on the challenge of golf. What led you to the game, what inspired you to continue? How did the game of golf excite you, contribute to your personal recovery and growth? Answers to these questions are what readers across the country wish to hear, directly from you, a Para-Golfer.

The disabled community is huge. There are 57 million disabled in our country, 20 million physically disabled who would like to play golf, 1.6 million amputees, and 1,000 babies born a year with a limb loss.

Your Personal Story Will Be Their Inspiration!

To tell you more about the mechanics of book writing and the impact that such books have on the public, Mrs. Jacqueline Ruiz will reach out to you directly. She has written and published 16 books in the last decade and with her publishing company, helped over 50 authors to fulfill their dream. She will personally contact you to provide more information and answer any questions you may have for making this project a success and meaningful for the disabled community. Jackie’s most recent book was launched in the New York Times and in Europe (Belgium and Paris), so you’ll be talking to a proven author.

This is not about making money, but about telling our story to those who want to know—about your pride, your personal accomplishments. Although there’s an opportunity for those writing their stories to earn funds, in total transparency, please understand any sizable revenue generated from book sales will be donated to organizations that lead and support the PARA-GOLF movement in our country and to all its members that are part and parcel of this great national endeavor.

For any author’s reference, you personally will be part of a nationally published book, your story will inspire hundreds if not thousands, and you will receive 10 books to sell, deliver, or giveaway, and you can purchase additional books for five dollars apiece, and sell them for $20, the book’s list price.

Your story, personally written by you, will provide an excellent example of strength, courage for those who need it the most, especially in these trying times.

​Thank you for sharing it with so many who will be inspired by your personal story.
