Published: 14 September 2011
Two US soldiers who were both wounded while serving their country in Iraq have sported golf clothing as they took part in the Navistar LPGA Classic.Joe Caley and Dan Nevins suffered serious injuries during their tours of duty but have taken to the fairways to prove that such events do not mean people cannot recover from them and progress forward, the Montgomery Advertiser reports.
LPGA competitor Jennifer Johnson sported a red golf shirt and white cap as she helped Mr Caley and Mr Nevins get into the swing of things on the Senator Course of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Capitol Hill in Pratville, Alabama.
She said of her playing partners for the day: "The suffering they've gone through puts things in perspective. I know it does for me."
Ms Johnson, who started playing golf aged nine, pledged half of her winnings from the Navistar Classic to the Wounded Warrior project - set up to help servicemen and women injured in combat.
