If you search people who play golf with no hands on the internet you will meet a neighbor kid from my childhood who lived in the fancy house down the street. He plays golf, the internet says, plays golf with no hands. The internet says that neighbor kid got electrocuted 35 years ago and now every day for 35 years he’s rolled out of bed thinking about that void where his hands used to be and wouldn’t it be nice to reach out for a golf club and not have to think about the strange idea of fingers. — CASEY KILLINGSWORTH
