Golf fans inspired by European Tour video of golfer playing with one leg
Juan Postigo has inspired golf fans on Twitter after the European Tour posted a video of him playing golf with one leg.
There are planty of inspiring golf stories that we come across, but one of the most inspirational things you will see for a while is this video of Juan Postigo, an extremely talented golfer who plays with only one leg.
Postigo was born without his right leg and the Spaniard says that accepting the issue is one of the most important factors in his success on the golf course, where he has won multiple trophies.
In his interview, Postigo talks about how he has overcome the challenges that come with his disability, including people judging him when he steps onto the back tees of a golf course, only for him to hit the ball further than everyone in his playing group.
Postigo also talks about how he was inspired by his hero Seve Ballesteros, as well as how golf has helped him in his personal life.
"It's brought me a lot of independence," said Postigo. "Because my parents, before I started golf, didn't let me do many things alone, so when I discovered golf I discovered I could be alone in a safe place."

The video received a fantastic reaction from golf fans on social media and even European Tour players themselves, with Eddie Pepperell commenting on Postigo's smooth swing: "That is so pure it's a joke."
"Sometimes the only thing in life that stops you is yourself, how inspirational is this to watch," said one golf fan.
"What a beautiful family and uplifting story. Puts your life in perspective," said another.
