MagnaReady Helps Making Golf More Accessible

By Terry Ross

It’s no secret that both the governing bodies that look after golf and the many equipment/apparel companies that keep players supplied with their needs are finding more ways to make the game and lifestyle more accessible.

For the more than 1 in 4 U.S. adults living with a disability, something as simple as getting dressed can become a barrier to enjoying a day on the course.

This is where Maura Horton, a former children’s apparel designer, decided she could help.  After watching her husband struggle with buttons following a Parkinson’s diagnosis, Horton founded MagnaReady®, the original magnetic apparel company designed for those with disabilities.    MagnaReady’s polos, cooling shirts, shorts and Stretch Tech Pants feature hidden magnetic closures, performance fabrics, stretch comfort and UPF 50+ protection, making it easier for golfers with Parkinson’s, arthritis, injuries and mobility or dexterity challenges to stay comfortable and confident on and off the course.

The company’s new golf-friendly adaptive shirt for men not only looks and feels good, but offers a comfortable, stylish fit with six magnetic closures that makes on-and-off a breeze. The 95% polyester and 5% spandex material feels light and airy– and offers a nice cooling effect. In addition, these shirts are anti-microbial and offer advanced wicking—and the four-way stretch is perfect for all the movement on the course. With its fashionable look, this is a shirt that can be worn on or off the course.

Because of the ease in taking it on and off, this shirt can help players that have a host of physical limitations such as limited mobility in hands and fingers that can make it difficult to maneuver buttons and snaps.
