How am I gonna hit the ball?
YOU MAY RECOGNIZE WESTON WRIGHT, THE FOUR-YEAR-OLD SAN ANTONIO BOY WHOSE STORY WE'VE TOLD BEFORE. WESTON'S BEEN BLIND SINCE BIRTH, AFFECTED BY A CONDITION THAT KEEPS HIS EYES FROM DEVELOPING.
You're gonna put the ball right there on grass. Like that.
OUT HERE, NEVER MIND WHAT WESTON CAN OR CAN'T SEE. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SOUNDS AND THE FEEL AND THE FUN OF THE GAME.
Weston has been looking for a sport he can participate in and he's really enjoying it.
THEY'RE ALL ENJOYING IT.
DOZENS OF AREA KIDS WHO'VE BEEN HELPED BY THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND.
It's a tee. You put the ball on the tee.
BRUCE HOOPER HAS BEEN ENJOYING IT FOR A LONG TIME. HE'S THE S.A. LIGHTHOUSE DIRECTOR AND A NATIONAL CHAMPION VISUALLY IMPAIRED GOLFER.
These kids will give you 110 percent on everything you ask them to do and they're just as polite and kind and sweet kids as you'll ever want to meet. I only hope the best for them. I've been lucky in my life. I only hope the best for them in their life.
Nice. Very good!
So they know they are only limited by the words "I can't" but they know that they can. We can teach them anything.
AND WITH THE HELP OF INSTRUCTORS FROM THE FIRST TEE PROGRAM AND THE UNITED STATES BLIND GOLF ASSOCIATION, KIDS LIKE WESTON ARE LEARNING FAST.
When you have these young kids, why shouldn't they have the same opportunities as everyone else? They're just blind.
There you go! Yeah!
This is cool. I think he's found his sport.
You do it just like Tiger Woods does.
