My golf partner is Deaf

I've been playing with my m8 for a couple of years now and only know a few sign words, so this year have decided to make more of an effort as he needs to play more to improve his handicap and hopefully go abroad to represent England (if he gets low enough). Therefore, we'll need to communicate more and I need to learn to speak to him properly not just with simple word statements like "tree", "good" and the usual one "shit" :).

I'm only a couple of days in but really enjoying it. I'm lucky enough to have someone to practice it on too otherwise I'd never remember what I learn as 2nd languages to me were always a struggle without practical experience.

Lets hope this old dog can learn a new trick!

    • Questions about the procedure and preparation for it are really important, especially when it comes to health and appearance. I know that when choosing such services, it is always useful to have a reliable support service at hand - for example, I recently encountered the need to contact gundry md customer service , and this helped to quickly get answers to questions. Such materials help to better understand and make informed decisions.

    • I once witnessed a situation in a clinic where a deaf-mute man was trying to explain what was hurting him, but the staff simply did not understand him. It was awkward and offensive to watch a person in a stressful situation left without help just because there was no necessary communication channel. Since then, I have become more interested in how medical support for people with hearing impairments is organized. It turned out that there are websites and services, such as FMRQ customer service ,
