​Every swing of the club reminds Brandon Williams that the game of golf will grind you into dust if you let it.His solution? Don’t let it. “I tell my wife, ‘I’ll rest when I’m dead,’ ” Williams said July 8 before heading to Spain for the Cairns Cup, disability golf’s equivalent of the Ryder Cup.Oh, I forgot to mention that Williams, 43, is disabled, because it is easy to overlook. To watch the Circleville resident play golf is to think he still has two usable arms and two standard flesh-and-blood legs like most of us. Except he doesn’t. A single-car accident at age 22 cost him his right leg below the knee and the use of his left arm. In case you did not know, both are pretty important in golf.But not essential. Despite his disability, Williams plays to a 15 handicap and drives the ball 230 yards on average. His iron and hybrid game are just OK, but he is a putting fiend. No wonder members of the Tuesday men’s league at Crown Hill Golf Club in Williamsport barely notice the prosthetic blade beneath Williams’ right knee and his left arm tucked into his side as he one-ups them on the golf course. They’re too busy watching him make pars and birdies. “We don’t pay any attention to [his disability],” said 76-year-old league member Doug Baker. “If you give Brandon an edge, he’ll take advantage and rub it in. He is a smack talker who likes to have a good time playing golf.”  In other words, don’t feel sorry for Williams, who seldom feels sorry for himself.“I did golf before the accident and would say I’m way better now with one arm and one leg than I was with two arms and two legs,” he said. “I’m embracing setting an example of what is possible.”Not everything is peaches and cream for disabled golferIt’s not all rainbows and lollipops, of course.“Stamina sometimes is an issue, with a bunch of walking and standing putting pressure on the socket,” Williams said.Then there is the non-stop pain. Years of cranking right-armed drives while putting full force on his left leg have taken a toll.  “I take some ibuprofen and put Ben Gay and Icy Hot on the joints and go get it,” he said.Williams hopes to “go get it,” i.e., the Cairns Cup trophy, and bring it home to the United States. For three days (July 15-17), he and 15 other disabled golfers from the U.S. will compete against 16 players from Europe at the San Roque Golf Club near the tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It will be the second Cairns Cup for Williams, who made the winning putt for the U.S. at the 2024 competition at Cherry Creek Golf Club near Detroit. This time, he is serving as vice-captain.“I have such passion for it,” he said, explaining he originally qualified for the Cairns Cup by winning his division at the Ohio Adaptive Open in 2023. “What better way than to wear the red, white and blue?” he asked.It sure beats being almost completely black and blue, which described Williams’ body after the 2005 accident that could – an
