We've seen Alzheimer's patients moved by music that they once knew and enjoyed.  Sometimes a person who hasn't spoken, smiled, or moved in a long time, breaks out in a grin, claps their hands, and even dances a little.

How wonderful it is that golf is having a similar connection with autistic people.  Young and old have demonstrated life-changing behaviors when introduced to golf.

Perhaps Ernie Els' wife Liezl said it best, "It makes perfect sense.  They feel the comfort of repeating things that aren't foreign,"

To see the amazing impact of this game on families with autism and how using golf as a treatment for autism is doing wonders, check out this video.
