JD Pakledinaz

JD Pakledinaz is a golfer from Farwell Michigan, who was born with Spina Bifida.  JD discusses how he got into golf from growing up on a golf course, playing 4 years on the Farwell High School team, and how he is able to golf so well despite the challenges he faces.  He also talks about his love for other sports, especially Central Michigan University teams, and how he is not only active in golf, but also hunting and skiing.  JD tells the stories of how attending a Little League Regional Tournament at a very young age led to a lifelong friendship with Brody Grothus, meeting professional golfer Lexi Thompson, and a recent trip his family took to Australia.  Another subject discussed is the JD Open, an annual golf tournament held in JD's name to raise money for two charities: Camp Spifida and Challenge Mountain.
