A remarkable golfer who went blind overnight is determined to not to let his lack of sight stop him from playing the sport he loves.

Nick Burr, 30, lost his sight after what he thought was an earache but turned out to be cancer just before Christmas in 2013.

He suffered from central nervous system lymphoma - disease in which cancer cells form in the lymph tissue of the brain and/or spinal cord - which made him permanently blind.

However, the keen golfer is determined to not let his sight affect him and travels to the golf course every week to practice with a guide.
