I had first met Dennis in Richmond - Virginia in May 2019, when he was competing in a US Disabled Golf Association tournament. I had spotted Dennis in the practice day and there was something about him that made me curious. Here was this man laughing and joking with anyone who happened to be nearby, having, what looked to be, the time of his life, and enjoying the camaraderie of other players, some of which I found out later, he had just met.
Dennis has an infectious, can do attitude, and is grateful for, as he puts it, his second lease on life. Golf has been part of his life for more that 50 years, except for an enforced ten year absence.
Please enjoy my conversation with Dennis Duchi.
