'The Doctors Said They Didn’t Think He Was Going To Make It To The Weekend So We Should Start Making Plans' – The Remarkable Story Of Charlie Crosby's Courageous Journey From Near Death Back Onto The Golf Course

I’m nervous that I won’t know quite what to say, but I shouldn’t have worried. A few moments later, there’s a bit of a kerfuffle and much laughter outside before the pair walk in and Charlie greets me with a big, cheeky smile. Yes, walks in – a miracle in itself and something I definitely wasn’t expecting given what I knew of Charlie’s situation.
