In our latest EDGA player profile we talk to a remarkable golfer called Rob Walden.
“Seven years ago, I would have never dreamed this would be happening, I was in a dark place,” said Rob, a scratch golfer who lives near Phoenix, Arizona. “I had always loved golf but I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I’ve got to without the support of my wife Julie and my son Jake after the accident. And golf was so important as part of my rehabilitation. Every time I take a shot today it feels like a hammer to the hand, but I wouldn’t swap it for anything.”
The 51 year-old from the city of Mesa tells us he has a lot of people to thank, while following his recent debut on the G4D Tour in Singapore, he is finding that a lot of people are also thanking him for being a great ambassador for golf in the US. Rob’s presence at that tournament with fellow golfers with a disability helped to demonstrate how golf can offer new competitive horizons for people who have faced injury or illness.
