Guys there's a story in this month's Golf Magazine you have to read. It's about a handicap guy that plays scratch golf and has won several amputee (sp?) tournaments consecutively.
Here's what happened . . .
The guy's a 7 handicap. He's helping his dad on a tractor. Knocks down what he thinks is a telephone pole that ends up on the tractor. He goes to move it. No telephone wire. Hot wire! He's electrocuted! Two farmers pick him up take him to the hospital. The dude's literally cooking! The hospital can't treat him due to the severity of his injuries. In the ambulance. The ambulance blows two tires. The guy is thrown out the into the road! His brother is following him.
His bother picks him up. And this is classic . . .
He say's "I'm having a bad day."
He ends up losing a leg, most of his left arm, and a finger from his right hand. In the hospital he's thinking "How am I gonna play golf again?" He ends up keeping his sanity via golf. He banged balls into nets for hours on hours. Bleeding and stuff. And now he's scratch. AMAZING!!!!
The have some pictures of his motion. Yoda could help this guy get even better too!
Great story. Particularly when contrasted to the story in the same magazine about Fulton Allem spending up all his cash and actually having to go to work. Nothing against the guy. But there's life and then there's LIFE. It's damn good to be alive.
