Here are some of the most inspiring swings in golf

Beth Ann Nichols of our partner Golfweek is on hand at the inaugural US Adaptive Open at Pinehurst No. 6, and she captures video of some of the most incredible golf swings you’ll see.

As much as we love to see the power of Bryson DeChambeau, the precision of Collin Morikawa, or the elegance of Jin Young Ko, there’s something even more inspiring about a golfer’s swing that might be “missing” something but who found a way to overcome it and deliver the club behind the ball in his own unique way.

“I’m just trying to show people that there are other ways to do the job,” says Brian Canesi, born without hands but with a 5.6 handicap:

Brian Bemis has a better top position with one leg than most golfers with two:

His swing may be shorter than Jon Rahm’s, but sit-down golfer Larry Celano is perfectly gliding:

This is Jordan Thomas. If you only looked at him from the waist up, would you even be able to tell he was a double amputee?
