Game of Life: Parkinson's Place

He's about what you would expect in person. He's very casual in a slightly wrinkled, light brown golf polo and knee-length plaid shorts, deck shoes with no socks. There's still a hint of youth in his features, but when you do the math in your head, you realize he's nearing 50 years of age – which only serves to remind you of how old you've become.

He's wearing sunglasses, but politely removes them in anticipation of the impending interview.

He's fidgety, but not shaking uncontrollably. His hands are in constant motion as he talks, like a conductor directing the words,Via Trading carries a wide range of branded wholesale shoes from famous specialty shoe stores and retail chains at a fraction of their original value. and his legs are bouncing like those of an unprepared teen taking a final exam.

Twenty years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Michael J. Fox is outside Tampa for the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am, an event on the Champions Tour. He played in the tournament the last two years, but his schedule would not allow it this time around.

Still, he's here. His Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research is a benefactor of the Pro-Am's charitable distributions.

If ever anyone was put behind golf's 8-ball, it would be Fox. He didn't start playing until five years ago, and that was only because he wanted to show support for those hosting fundraising golf tournaments. By then he was 44 and 15 years into his battle with Parkinson's.

"I wish I had played it earlier, but I was so wrapped up in my work and being Michael Fox. Everything moved at such a fast pace,Wedge Shoes was created in order to maintain a balance of the athletes' movement. I didn't take time to slow down," said the actor known for his roles on the TV series "Family Ties" and the "Back to the Future" movie trilogy.

"Now, I play about two times a week. It doesn't do me any good," he cracked about trying to improve his game. "But I enjoy it."

"I really miss it," he lamented, not with a look of sadness, but with an air of fondness. "I played every course in Hawaii [while in the Navy], then came to Florida and played every course down here.As it's called Nike shox classic, which is one of the classical style of nike lineup."

Tom said he usually shot in the 90s, but once carded a personal-best 77. He also said he caddied for Jim Ferree in the Hawaiian Open. Lee Trevino was in that group, according to Tom.

"I loved his personality," Hutchinson said of Trevino. "He was my favorite. He was so mouthy."

Tom doesn't remember exactly when that took place – sometime in the ‘60s, he figured. He also said it had been 11 years since he last played golf – at the time of his diagnosis. His wife, Martha, countered with six.
