An Inspirational Golfer

RICHMOND, CA (KGO) -- Everybody has challenges and it is how we deal with those challenges that make all the difference. Coach Marty has a particular way of overcoming the challenges he faces.
Critics describe golf as a waste of time. Four hours of hitting a ball, then chasing it, cursing it, and eventually rolling it into a little hole. That's the game to outsiders, at least.
But to really appreciate golf, a person must struggle with the game, be humbled by it, or maybe just get to know a player like Marty Turcios. Golf challenges him just to balance a ball on a tee before he even hits it, but when he does, it is 120 yards pretty much every time. When he was asked what he suffers from, he said, "I don't suffer at all. I have cerebral palsy, and was born with cerebral palsy."
