That's not very inspiring. It's got a suicide, a mother and two older kids who don't even get even a mention and one guy who played golf really well. It's a success story that ignores or kills off 80% of the family.

The only advice you can take from it is to make sure you play golf freakishly well, and the world is full of incredibly talented and driven people who sink huge amounts of time and effort into singing, basketball, acting, swimming or whatever they do- and don't have the exact right circumstances to make a career out of it.
