HI, I love the idea of actually going out on the golf course with a client who stutters. However, I do not think it's a must. I think getting across the idea that the anxiety, fear, frustration, self doubt, are feelings that we golfers share with folks who stutter. Please be clear that the issues faced by the PWS are so much more pertinent to life and their everyday communication skills. Golfers are there because they enjoy the game and are faced with the same issues. Also, the motor component is a helpful tool to help PWS understand how those variables will impact control over their speech. Many thanks. elise
