Another Inspiring Story


Flv02

Recommended Posts

Hey Golfers,

 

I was recently looking through some Callaway pictures from people practicing this week at Colonial Country Club and stumbled across this picture:

319794_10151738155585640_125952115639_24191139_1848611221_n.jpg

 

Its a picture of Manuel De Los Santos. I stumbled across his story last year, before I was a member of the site. It reminded me of the story and thought all of you would appreciate the video. Manuel de los Santos is one of sport's most inspirational figures. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, he played baseball from a young age and by 2003 was planning to turn professional. But a motorcycle accident changed his life forever when he lost his left leg above the knee.

 

Following this accident, he moved to France and on seeing the film, 'The Legend of Bagger Vance', he was inspired to take up golf. Manuel now lives in Paris and plays to a handicap of just three, competing in high profile tournaments all around the world.

 

Enjoy the video! Its truly inspirational and moving.
