Black and deaf, golfer chases his dream

Kevin Hall might have a good laugh if he were aware of all that goes on around him on the golf course. He was on the first tee at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am when the starter reminded the gallery that no cameras were allowed and “please make sure your cell phones are turned off.

” In New Orleans, as Hall stood over a 6-foot birdie putt on the first green, a volunteer instinctively raised a sign that said, “Quiet, Please.” Then, realizing who was about to putt, he shrugged and slowly lowered it.

Hall’s world has been quiet as long as he can remember.
