Seniors Take National Wii Golf Title

When the Wii system was invented, no one had any thoughts that it would take off the way it did or the number of lives it would effect. Take for example the foursome of senior citizens who range in age from 74 to 89, who just won the National Seniors Golf title.

Not only has Wii golf brought out the competitive nature of some of Parc at Duluth’s residents, it has brought together residents who might not otherwise socialize with one another- Sanger and Taylor are just one example. Socialization is one of the reasons corporate wellness director Angela Butler-Hackett recommended the purchase of a Wii gaming system for all four of the Parc facilities in metro Atlanta. A recreation therapist, Butler-Hackett recognized the multiple benefits a Wii could have.
