You have embraced a very smart, very tough attitude toward competition. No quarter given, none taken. Your standards have to be high, higher than ours would be because you want to play against the best players in the world. Even the best players have to work extremely hard to hold their positions in the world of golf. You can do no less. And you expect to do no less. We,the members of your extensive support group, are pulling for you. We believe you can overcome. We believe in you, Ken! I read your interview after the Coors Light Open.

Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. — 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Now I don't know if you read these entries but if you do, please allow me to share something I went through 10 years ago. I took a fall that resulted in my tib/fib and about everything else that keeps your ankle attached to your foot broken. 7 operations in total at the Hospital for Special Surgery to try and put me back together. I spent one year sitting in a chair that now sits in our living room unattended all these years later (too many memories - lol ). Anyhow at one point during all my procedures I remember speaking with my Doctor and telling him that I was smart enough to figure out how to make a living, but I would have quite a problem if he told me that I would never be able to play golf again. ;-) I'm sure that you probably had those same words with your Doctor. One way or another, guys like you, myself,Rick Allen(Drummer/Def Leopard) - who lost his arm in a car accident and continues his career - figure out a way how to continue what we love. My motto has always been - Non illigitamus carborundum... Who knows, I might catch up with you some day at Richter, Smith, Tashua on your practice day. All the best - Rob Ken – I’ve tried to keep you in my thoughts/prayers since I became aware of your double tragedies.

I too was in a very bad accident in Aug 2009 and I also lost my lower leg. I know the pain you are going through first hand both physically and emotionally. That being said, keep the faith and push that rock up the hill. Every time you hear that thump that rock is getting closer to the top! We all have our own rock and only some of us get it to the top, keep it up! All my best, Ken. Maybe we will get to play a round some time! I am not at your level yet - still trying to break 80!

He lost one of his legs when he was twelve years old in a tree accident. He is now sixty years old, shoots in the low eighties, and you would never know he has one leg unless he wears shorts. When we were twenty years younger he used to beat me like a drum playing racket ball. Can you imagine how embarasing it is to get beat by a one-legged man playing racket ball. It is my ferverent prayer you will be encouraged by this story. By the way, this same man is a 3rd degree black belt in some type of martial arts discipline that I can not even spell. His attitude is the key, he does not view himself as handicapped. Keep your attitude positive and stay the course, you will win the war! Ken,
