Special Olympics Ace

Arthur is a 21 year-old man with autism. He's had a hard time finding a job and spent his days sitting in front of a computer just to kill time. But Arthur has played golf since he was a little kid and watched Tiger Woods win the Masters in 2002. He's always been pretty good tin golf but earlier this year, Arthur decided to compete in the Special Olympics for the first time. For months, he practiced every day on the Needwood Golf Course in Maryland with his coach, PGA pro Dustin Stearns to prepare for the Montgomery County Special Olympics Tournament at Rattlewood Golf Course on September 1, 2019. Just before tee time, Dustin, who was also Arthur's caddy, gave him a box of new Titleist Pro V1 balls. Well, not only did Arthur win the tournament, not only did he shoot 80 - his personal best - but he shot a hole-in-one! Now, Arthur has a purpose - to be the best golfer he can be and to compete in the Special Olympics National Golf Tournament in 2020.
