How about a beeper attached to a stake for pitching horse shoes? I've been
thinking about that one.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] tennis, anyone?
Hi Steady,
That's kind of my point, though. I want to know what the answer is to
the fact that the rules are different for people with varying levels
of sight. I can't help but think that if the rules have to bend like
that, then maybe the sport isn't worth adapting.
What I want to know is if there is a sport out there that blind people
can play on an exactly level playing field with the sighted, or play
with a modification so small that it doesn't make a difference. Could
we, for example, make an accessible air hockey puck that beeped, and
if we could, would blind people, using their ears, be able to play as
fast as sighted people do?

Blind tennis or also called soundball tennis, a blind person can play
with a
fully sighted person but with different rules. we are allowed up to 3
bounces before we return the ball. A fully sighted has to return on the
1st
bounce and parcially sighted allow up to 2 bounces. Yes, is not an equal
playing field to make up for our disadvantages. A sighted person can tell
exactly where the direction the ball is heading, it's hight and speed
very
early and react accordingly. whereas we are like having an unstable
connection with the ball because the sound is not constantly ringing so
we
need more time to process then react. Given that, I still do miss the
ball
after training for 2 months and no where near being able to play a match
yet, but i do see my progress.
