One leg...and a handicap of three...

True inspiration:

Manuel de los Santos will realise dream at St Andrews - Times Online: "He will be among some of the biggest names in the game and a smattering of showbusiness celebrities and, as well as St Andrews, will play at Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. Ask him what he thinks of that and his grin could power the national grid. “I cannot believe it,” he says. “My dream has come true.” Put simply, De los Santos has become an inspiration. Now 25, he plays off a barely believable handicap of three, can hit the ball 260 yards through the air and, perhaps most surprisingly, refuses to use a prosthetic leg. He walks, with the aid of crutches, between shots and will not countenance the use of a buggy. “It’s a sport,” he said. “I’m an athlete. I walk.”"
