It is already adapted, with trolleys and buggies and the handicap system which allows them to be competitive,&quot; Major Crew stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added the whole community has got behind the initiative and it is great to see the support, as five soldiers were presented with electric golf trolleys after the event to help them get around 18 holes.<\/p>\n<p>Battle Back is a Ministry of
