The tariffs are green this summer for golfers of all abilities.

Whether someone was born with a missing limb, suffered a stroke or even lost their eyesight.

They can still play golf.

Tonight we introduce you to some athletes who are hitting the green, including one Kentucky lawmaker.

At a Shelbyville golf course.

Ty Thompson takes a swing.

He happens to be blind.

It's Brownsburg.

You got it.

I didn't pick it up till after I lost my vision.

But I started playing competitively, after I lost my vision because my wife said you need to keep up sports.

I was very active in sports, and she said, you got a chance to hit.

Nonmoving.

Ball now.

How do you blind golfers do it?

With help from a coach?

They can do everything a caddy cannot do.

So they can describe the hole to you, where trouble is, where you want to try and hit versus not.

Second rule modification is they can stand behind you for any stroke play because you've got no visual feedback.

We don't know what we did.

Thompson is not alone.

People of all abilities play golf.

What's known as adaptive golf, as seen at this year's Kentucky Amputee Tournament, which Louisville in Al Gentry started in the 1990s.

Gentry lost his right arm in a workplace accident more than 30 years ago, but in no time he was playing golf again.

With help from Don Fight Master, an international One-Armed golf champion from Louisville.

So even though I never met Don, I knew who he was.

So when my accident happened, and then 1993 and when I was 28 years old, and they were willing me in the emergency room and I said, look out, Don, fight!

Master, I'm coming after you.

Because at that moment I felt like I was going to lose my arm.

And, and, I don't know why I said it.

I just had to say it.

And word got out and, Don was notified, and Don came to my hospital and introduced himself and introduced me to the world of amputee golf, which would change my life.

Gentry remembers his first golf tournament after the accident.

He was very emotional for me, and because it was the first realization that I was going to be okay, that I could I could do big things.

Gentry has a decades long love for the sport and the people who play it.

He, his mentor, fight Master and two other Kentuckians founded the North American One Arm Golfer Association in 2000.

Dan Aldridge is the current president.

We get to show people that are either newly injured or have always been injured for whatever period of time, and never really seen that, hey, I can go do that.

And that's what this is, is we can show people, hey, let's get you off the couch.

Let's get you back into life.

And if we can get you into the game of golf, then for some, it's.

Can we get you into the game of life?

The one armed group held a tournament in southern Indiana this month.

Brought out highly skilled, competitive golfers from across the nation.

Hitting.

Hitting good golf shots, I would say, is one of the best feelings in this world.

You know, just knowing that you can do, something really hard any time there's a disability, especially with one arm for golf, you have more room for error.

You don't have that power.

So for me, I have to use my hips, right?

If I don't hit it good.

I'm mad at myself.

But you know what?

So is everyone with two hands.

So I can't get down on myself more for a crappy shot because I have one arm.

I have to give myself more grace.

Some players develop their disability later in life.

Mousa palm had a stroke that weakened the left side of his body.

He began to relearn the sport during physical therapy.

So that really, started jazzing me up because I really thought I would never play golf again.

Others were born with their disability and a passion for sports.

So playing sports as a kid came like first nature, really.

I grew up with about six other cousins that played sports, so I was always competitive and it never really held me back or anything.

The hardest thing for me used to be tying my shoes.

Like tying a shoe is insane.

Or like cutting a stake is what's hard.

The real hard stuff like playing football or like tackling someone or wrestling, those are all easy.

Adaptive golf continues to nurture the next generation of golfers with the motto teach, play, compete.

Corporate sponsorships have created more opportunities for people to play.

So has the U.S. Adaptive Golf Alliance, which gave a unified voice to dozens of regional groups starting in 2014.

Gentry says the powers that be of golf have taken an interest, too.

The U.S.

Golf Association, known for hosting the professional U.S. open, will host its fourth adaptive open this summer for Kentucky edition.

I'm June Leffler.

Thank you Jim.

Now, you heard the mention of Don, fight master.

Well, he won two international and seven national championships for one arm golf and started a charity for kids with special needs.

Great story.
