Larry Alford II was a nationally-ranked junior golfer when he lost his arm in an automobile accident. This only proved to be a minor setback as he has continued to strive toward competing professionally on tour. Along the way, he has created The "One-armed Bandit" Challenge to entertain and inspire corporate and charity golf tournaments across the country.

Larry Alford's story is nothing short of a miracle. Golf has been Larry's passion since childhood and he always knew it would play a major role in his future. He worked hard to perfect his game, but tragically in August of 1991 an automobile accident occurred that nearly cost him his life. In fact, it did cost Larry his left arm. Even this could not diminish his dream of becoming a professional tour player.

In 1992, The Southern Texas PGA named Larry as "The Junior Player of the Year". The same year Mr. Johnny Miller hosted a benefit golf tournament to raise funds for Larry's medical bills and golf prosthesis. Utilizing all the support from family, friends, and many PGA Tour players, Larry has now turned to charity tournaments as a means to inspire others. To date, Larry has participated in over 200 charity tournaments and has helped raise over three million dollars for local and national charities.
