Gary Barrett played golf as a teenager in Ireland, but stopped playing after his above-the-knee left leg amputation aged 22. 

Golf came back to him on his 50th birthday. Gary says: “I’m so thankful that my wife had the idea. I only started playing golf again 18 months or so ago when Jill bought a set of clubs for my birthday.

“I now love nothing more than jumping into a golf buggy and starting a round of golf at 7:45am before everybody else has even put their golf shoes on.

“I have recently joined Rathfarnham Golf Club. It is a stunning location at the base of the Dublin mountains and I love playing there. The EDGA Tour has a great bunch of people. I have met many new friends, which is something you don't expect to happen at 52.”
