SSP Chawrasia - Calcutta kid, mum saves the dream, name changing and conquering India's hardest - a podcast by Richard Kaufman/IMG Audio

SSP Chawrasia literally grew up on a golf course, by the ninth hole in the staff headquarters at Royal Calcutta Golf Club. This is the story of the son of a greenkeeper who proved that anything is possible, from humble beginnings to the riches of international golf.

Leaving school at 14 and turning pro with borrowed clubs, SSP tells us how his mother gambled the family savings to keep the dream alive and how that dream became a reality by winning four times on the European Tour, the last of which came by conquering a course deemed India's toughest.
