My conversation with former Royal Artillery Gunner Mike Browne, took place just a week or so before the first of three events, that would propel him into the golfing worlds consciousness.
Mike has torn up the generally accepted notion that it takes time to become a professional golfer. Mike achieved that milestone in a little over two years. Oh, and incidentally, he made the grade, even though he uses a prosthetic leg, to replace the one he lost, when complications set after breaking his leg.
In this conversation Mike took me on a journey, starting as a teenager who was competitive in Motorcross, through the accident and 22 limb salvage operations, the dark days that he had in recovery, how he found golf and the people who have helped him, all the way through today, where he is one of the leading players on the golfers with disability world stage.
