If you have Aphasia, you should look to see if it is of
Early on Halloween, I had on a golfer costume. It turned into quite a trick for me. I shot an Ace, a Hole-in-One. It is rare. I am an amateur and not playing well. Being that I had a stroke on June 8, 2020, I blamed my terrible golf because of my Aphasia.
