The KIM MOORE story

Tough Love and Second Chances - EDGA

Kim Moore, the Head Women's Golf Coach of West Michigan University, offers a broad smile when talking about golf: this is a person who is passionate about the game, both as an accomplished player herself and professional mentor to new players.

We met up with Kim when she was playing in the inaugural ‘G4D Open’ (golf for the disabled) at Woburn, England, which is linked directly to The Open itself. Kim would win this landmark tournament and lift the trophy to deserved international acclaim.

Leg amputee Moore has a message for all her university students: that good work and enjoying the game brings the reward. Kim said: “Golf is a game in which you get out what you put into it. If you work hard, have a great growth mindset, and are purposeful in your preparation, you will succeed. Stay positive, stay patient… have fun!”

Coach Kim’s positive mindset is also helping many other golfers with a disability to start in golf and reach their potential in the game.
