United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

I competed in this event last week in Mesquite Nevada, home of the world long drive championship. We were invited to do an exhibition of Para "disabled" long drive. There were above knee amputees, below knee amputees, double amputees, arm amputees and me, the one bpi. The leg amputees were hitting it from 300-350 yards, the assisted arm guys (amputees that use a prosthetic to attach to the club) hit it about 250-300 yards and then the unassisted guys hit is 225-265 yards.

There will be another one next May, love to have more bpi'ers there.

Hi Dan,

I play alot of golf. Right Arm dominate tbpi. No use at all. 11 yrs ago. But i found a glove i use to velcro around golf club for my affected arm and use to swing with both arms. I will post a link. It definetley helps with balance. I do not hit very far but still enjoy the game way to much to ever stop! I usually play from the senior tees to make it more competitive with my group.

That is awesome that you are playing, doesn't matter what tees you play, just have fun, that is the point if the game!

I am part of the North American One-Armed Golfers Association, www.naoaga.com. We have an annual championship, love to have you join us. We have a Net division that plays the forward tees, so that should be perfect for you.

Here is the link to the registration page: give.classy.org/2017amc

Dan,

Thank you so much for this info. I will make every attempt to join you and this awesome association of golfers. I dont think i can do this year, but i will save vacation time and money for 2018. Who knows, maybe i can swing it this year. It certainly is exciting to know you all are out there.
