Hello, My name is Ben and golf saved my life. I used to drink a lot And I lived in New York City. I was down by the World Trade Center on 9/11. As I slowly got sicker and sicker from 9/11 I knew I couldn’t drink anymore. To make a long story short on a spring day in 2010 I missed a golf lesson I had scheduled the previous fall as part of a package because I was hung over. I asked myself if I wanted to be a drunken watched golf on TV or if I wanted to play golf. I made my decision that day and I’ve never touched a drink cents. A year and a half ago I sold all my belongings to move to Tucson because of the entire idea of a golf off-season was insane to me. But mainly because my chemical sensitivities have gotten so bad I could no longer live in New York City. I feel much better here in the desert, I’m teaching school, and playing golf constantly, any indoor activity such as a restaurant or a concert is out of the question, so I just play more golf. My dream is to launch to my charity ( I’ve already built the site) www. Golfsavedmylife.org to provide free golf equipment to recovering addicts and victims of domestic abuse. This Magnificent game, by the grace of God, has literally saved my life.
