A successful student requires a thirst to learn, clarity of thought, an even temperament, and plenty of patience. And perhaps a little resilience. If this summary is correct, then Italian golfer Jacopo Luce fulfils the brief in exemplary fashion.
The 29-year-old, who hails from close to Venice, explains his mantra: “Focus, patience, and also never surrender. Never give up.”
This is a game of millimetres. Jacopo was born with a disability described as bilateral ‘hemiparesis’, a neurological impairment that affects both sides of his body, while he also has a related vision impairment. Some of his movements have to be deliberate to maintain balance and this, along with using his core strength well, are factors he will remember for every swing. Jacopo is not the first dedicated golfer to understand the frustration of millimetres, nor is he the first G4D player to appreciate the joy golf can bring.
