An inspirational story, a remarkable recovery. With limited vision, one arm, now playing college golf. Gives meaning to the phrase he has more talent in one whatever than my whole body.

In 2010, he made it happen. Swinging the club as if he's left-handed but with his right hand, Korengel started to play again. His limited sight requires assistance to follow his ball, and he needs to use a cart to get around the course. Still, he competed for his high school team in Cincinnati, and upon entering Mount St. Joseph's he approached the men's golf coach Joe Sparhawk about getting involved with the college squad. Sparhawk, after hearing Korengel's story, offered him a spot on the team.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.
