Sport:

Golfer

Biography:

I started playing golf at age of 8 through the influence of my father and brother. I fell in love and out of love with it during my teenage years but then committed to golf since age of 17.

Joined England Deaf Golf at age of 18 through social media and ever since I have been competing in the Deaf Events.

In 2016, I got selected to play in World Deaf Golf Championships and on my debut I won the championship by 6 strokes!

I was invited to play in the Deaflympics in 2017 but the timing was not right as there was death in the family. And then, in 2021 COVID happened, and I didn't want to take the risk of travelling. I am happy to be selected again to compete in Tokyo this November and am looking forward to it.
