Kim Moore on the U.S. Adaptive Open
“Growing up as an amputee and as an adaptive golfer, I always played in events where I was the only player with any sort of disability in the field. That was normal to me. With the emergence of the U.S. Adaptive Open, there is now a national championship where adaptive golfers compete together from around the world and showcase their talents on a national stage. Being a part of this family has become my new normal.”
