Barry Funnell

Barry Funnell, grew up in South Africa, but has been living in the UK since 2009. He became a paraplegic in 1982 at age 20 after falling from a 3 story building. He only started playing golf in 1995, and won the South African Disabled wheelchair division twice in 2003 and 2007. He has won the Handigolf masters and Open, but injured his shoulders in 2011 after hand cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats for a Bible translation charity fundraiser. He still enjoys golf, but work and shoulder injuries are limiting his golf somewhat these days.
