RIP Jack Newton. One of Australia’s best Golf Professionals in the 1970’s and early 1980’s. After accidentally walking into an Aeroplane propeller in 1983 and losing an arm, he taught himself to play golf one handed and then started the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation. Most of the Australian Current Golfing Professionals would have been assisted by this Foundation in their junior years. A legend here in Australia.
RIP Jack.

If memory serves me, he lost his eye as well in that same accident.

Yes he did and also suffered some stomach trouble as well. He had trouble all his life with different ailments all pertaining to the initial accident.
