One-armed golfer Randy Mackus is a champion that offers insight on how to approach life when challenges get in the way.
There’s a senior golfer in Prince George who has taken top spots in Canadian and U.S. championships, has traveled close to 65,000 kilometres in less than three years and entered a total of 13 events.
“In 1995 I was making lunch for my children as I was home from work one day and I went to put a pot of water on the stove and all of a sudden my wrist dropped and I couldn’t hold the pot of water in my left hand and my kids were saying ‘Dad, quit messing around,’” Mackus recalled of that fateful day.
After he healed from the amputation, Mackus continued to play OTL , which is this winter city’s year-round baseball. Mackus keeps busy in the off-season by playing pickleball and he also curls using a stick to push the rock along the ice as a way to adapt the game to make it possible to play.
