Jeff Guan is a 21-year-old Australian golfer who, one week after debuting on the US PGA tour, was struck by a golf ball at a pro-am event, which led to him losing his sight in his left eye. Just one year later, he made his return to professional competition. In November, we spoke to him about how the accident changed his life, and why he's still amibitious about his future in the sport.

This pod also features Barry McCluskey, a member of the European Disabled Golf Association - or EDGA - who talks to Mani Djazmi and BBC golf reporter Jonathan Jurejko about the role golf has played in his life after losing his sight to the eye disorder keratoconus.
