There is another memorable story that occurred at the Ontario Special Olympics Golf Championship. 

I was assigned to a group of four golfers to act as a judge.  One of the players in my assigned group only had one arm, two prosthetic legs and legally blind.  I will be the first to admit that I thought this to be a helpless situation and wondered how he could possibly hit the ball!  He was allowed to have his mother guide his shots.  From the very first tee-off, he hit the ball accurately and consistently.   His mother gave simple directions including distance.  I have never seen anyone hit a golf ball with only ONE arm.   It quickly became apparent that he was going to have a very successful round.  He placed in top 3.  I couldn’t believe it.  We played at a Par 3 course in Markham (I believe).  I can’t remember his final score other than it was close to par.

I also won that day.  I won the knowledge that we can never pre-judge someone’s abilities, no matter what their “apparent” handicap is.   Anything is possible with the right frame of mind, determination and the will to succeed.
