Today's featured speaker was Michael Bruchet, Learn more about Michael and his innovative approach to golf, life and good health at www.michaelbruchet.com.
It all started in 1996 when Michael missed the US Open Qualifier by only one shot. His golf career looked bright, but just three weeks later, he got into an accident that left him with a shattered wrist and equally shattered dreams. Each doctor he visited told him the same thing: he could get surgery to fix his wrist, but he would never play golf again. But that's just the beginning of the story.
