Dude, Where’s My Cart tournament highlights frustrations of Alzheimer’s

WARDEN — Some people take their golf very seriously. Fortunately, those people were not at Sage Hills Golf Course Saturday, because the challenges of the Dude, Where’s My Cart?! Alzheimer’s fundraiser tournament would have driven them bonkers. “Each challenge we had – we had nine of them – is dementia-based,” said Karisti Cox, sales and marketing specialist for Summer Wood Alzheimer’s Special Care and the organizer of the tournament. Those ranged from special goggles that affected players’ vision to swinging while sitting on a toilet to driving with a club 1/3 the size of a normal one.
