While I was at the range this Saturday, an organization brought out a group of folks with physical disabilities. Many were wheelchair bound and others were missing a limb(s). I could hear the leader explaining the purpose. The golf was intended as therapy. Evidently it was a good form of exercise. Not too demanding, but that would work the muscles and hopefully be a little fun. Well I was focused on my practice for the most part, but I noticed that one speaker was giving instruction on how to hit the ball so I turned around to watch. The guy had a prosthetic left arm and right leg (below the knee). I watched his swing and it was darn near PGA! He gave his spiel as he just cranked out perfect shots. Two thoughts went through my head. First, the guy was amazing. I couldn't figure out how he could hold the club much less swing that well. Second, the guy must save a fortune on gloves!
