Twenty-five years ago when Joshua Lee Patton wasn't body guarding for movie stars, gangsters and politicians, he was deeply involved in his own career as a successful actor and stuntman, and he had the potential to play professional baseball. 

He was playing baseball in an organized league but when an injury to one side restricted his movement on that side, he could no longer put two hands on the bat and so his hopes for a baseball career ended. And one day, he was introduced to One-Arm-Golf.

Josh Patton, with seven brothers and five sisters has gone from living in a two room shack, while helping his daddy run moonshine in the backwoods of Georgia, to  become a successful business man and a multi-millionaire with a huge heart.

He gives all the credit to One-Arm Golf. 

Josh isn't a man you would expect to find on a golf course. The fact that he found his way there was a miracle. That he stayed was an even greater miracle. Josh said, "They laughed and refused to play with me. I felt out of place swinging the club with one arm and a lot of times I would miss the ball. I was so embarrassed." But something about golf wouldn't let him give up. He stayed with it, and now Joshua Lee Patton is giving back to the game that added so much to his life.

When he first started, he taught himself to play golf in 15 months and then traveled to West Kilbride, Scotland for the World One-Arm Golf Championships. There he shot a 69 and a 71 to eliminate two former World Champions from the competition. He went on to win six of the nine trophies and set a record of a 335 yard drive.
