Goetcheus had just arrived back in his native Martinsville Friday from Virginia with three of his brothers: Lowell Dean, Dan and Tim. He talked about what it meant to play golf again at Martinsville Golf Club for the Fall Foliage Festival tournament this weekend, and why it had been so long since he had walked the green hills.

Goetcheus said he had little hope of ever playing golf again. He has very little feeling and no strength in his left hand and part of his lower arm. Hes learned to grip some with that hand, using a muscle in his forearm, but he cant feel his fingers. He said its all he needs to swing a golf club.
