[AMP-L] Kenny Bontz's Pain-filled Journey to his Golf Dream

[Wayne Renardson]

via WFTS Tampa Bay:

Bontz overcame diabetes, cancer, addiction and amputation. 

Kenny Bontz is driven to be the best on the golf course. He faced 
tremendous obstacles throughout his life and conquered them all.  

Nearly 20 years ago, Bontz was taking drugs each day to numb the 
pain. "At that point, I got addicted to opioids. I was doing about 
64,000 milligrams of Vicodin a day, amongst other things, drinking a 
lot," he said.  

After that?

"My next step was probably heroin," Bontz told ABC Action News sports 
anchor Kyle Burger. "The way I pushed things back then, I would´ve  
been dead very soon."
