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.

Hi! Stephanie,
I am a fan of your wonderful golf blog, which I take a look at everyday.
I have shared your current blog pages in my facebook page without getting a permission from you first.
Because I wanted to show a very interesting video of Mr. Tom McAuliffe to the Japanese golf fans. Is that OK?
Keep up a ggod job.
