Harper suffered a stroke in 2020 and told B.C. Golf that it香蕉视频直播檚 affected his vision and hand-eye co-ordination and it香蕉视频直播檚 been frustrating not to be able to hit certain shots with the ease that he could before.

Golf showed me that I am not the same person that I was in that regard,香蕉视频直播� Harper said in the release. 香蕉视频直播淏ut the flip side is the support you get from the golfing fraternity. That has been amazing.香蕉视频直播�

His competitors gathered around the 18th green at the B.C. championships to watch Harper close out his round and give him bear-hugs afterward.
