Rory and Tiger’s new Nike ad

Because we didn’t get around to posting it earlier in the week…

Did they actually film it together? Stilted banter and sleight-of-lens would suggest not.

Oh.

‘The Golfer With No Arms’

Someone did the hard work of unearthing this little corker of a video from the British Pathé YouTube archive. It’s a 1932 feature on Tom McAuliffe, an American who overcame the most profound of physical challenges– in golfing terms, anyway– to become a competent amateur golfer.

Inspiring stuff.

PS: Mr. McAuliffe probably deserves a pass for wearing his cap backwards.

  • About Me

    Hi! My name is Stephanie Wei. I grew up in Seattle. I live in Manhattan, NYC. I played competitive golf for ten years in the junior and college ranks. I went to Yale, where I played on the women's golf team and graduated in '05 with a B.A. in History.

    I still enjoy pegging it, but don't ask me my handicap because I stopped keeping one when I left for college. More important, I'm feisty and I like to smile a lot. I also love sports, spandex and surprises.

    I'm a freelance writer and reporter, as well as a contributor for Sports Illustrated Golf+.
