Yes, he can swing a club and hit the ball well, but his heart issues won't allow him to walk all over the course, especially on the Exec courses...

It warms my heart that he can still play at his age and physical status...

I've also seen wheelchair confined players on the golf course.

Should they be denied handicap plates?

Some, yes. Him? Never! That is real commitment to the game. Kudos!
