I just returned last week from an event in the Midwest that I provide athletes for each year. This year\u2019s lineup included football Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett<\/a> and baseball Hall of Famer Andre Dawson<\/a>. And while both did a great job and received rave reviews, the person who stole the show was someone named Butch Lumpkin<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Lumpkin wasn\u2019t a professional athlete and didn\u2019t have the name recognition of Dorsett and Dawson, but he\u2019s the one that left the biggest impression. You see, Lumpkin was born with virtually no arms, yet he\u2019s a single-digit handicap golfer, plays tennis better than most and skis black diamonds. The word \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d isn\u2019t in his vocabulary. <\/p>\n

At the event, Lumpkin put on both a tennis and golf clinic and left everyone in awe of his ability. During the golf tournament, he also drove around the course hitting tee shots with the golfers. He out drove the vast majority of participants.<\/p>\n
