Terry Kirby Chairman

My name is Terry Kirby and I’m Chairman of The Handigolf Foundation.
I became disabled 30 years ago after having a tumour removed from my inside my spinal cord. I had 3 operations which left mea T6 paraplegic (complete).
I started playing golf 18 months prior to this and was gutted to think I wouldn’t be able to play again. My physio knew this and as fate would have it found a flyer advertising a taster day run by Handigolf. I went to the session in Scunthorpe and found my reason for carrying on. I joined there and then and played in my first competition 4 weeks later. I went round in 132 but I didn’t care I was back playing golf. I played in the same competition a year later and won.
30 years later I still enjoy playing playing golf 2-3 times a week and can’t see myself stopping anytime soon.
