One Eyed Golfer

This is Bill Sawyer. He is 88 years old and I golf with him every Tuesday and Thursday morning. He only has one eye. He fell and hit his left eye on the corner of a concrete step years ago and it burst, so he just has this white mass in his eye socket. Today, he did something I have never before witnessed. He shot his age, an 88 for 18 holes. Really amazing. Now here is one of my heroes. He is lively and funny and a joy to be with. I really want to be like Bill.

You want to be like Bill? I don't want you to lose an eye dad! Really though, he sounds like a great guy and friend.
