14-year-old Ranveer Singh Saini, was just two years old when he was diagnosed with autism. But that did not stop him from achieving this feat. He defied all odds and took up golf at the age of nine.

Ranveer achieved the feat in the GF Golf-Level 2 Alternate Shot Team Play event. He was nine shots clear of joint second placed teams, along with his partner Monica Jajoo. Apart from being a golfer he is also a cook, pianist and is fond of calculating numbers.

By overcoming all deterrents, Ranveer has proved that he is not ‘disabled’ but in fact ‘differently abled’.
