Meet Graham Freeman, a golfing force hailing from Belgium’s stunning landscapes. At 45, he’s not just playing golf; he’s living it, showcasing unwavering determination and boundless passion.
Despite being a T10 paraplegic, Graham takes on the course with his wheelchair-adapted Paragolfer, displaying rarely matched skill. Crowned champion of the 2023 G4D Open’s Sitting 2 sport class with a 10.5 handicap, he is one to watch in the G4D arena, proving that talent always finds a way.
A dedicated member of Drie Eycken Golf Club, Graham goes beyond mere participation, competing at all levels and proudly representing Belgium internationally. In the 2022 European Team Championship, he sported the Belgian colours, showcasing his playing ability on the European stage.
To Graham, golf isn’t just a game—it’s his lifeline, offering solace, camaraderie, and a connection with nature. As he puts it: “The Paragolfer allows me to be outside in nature and in areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. It is my release of stress, and I enjoy the competitiveness and sociability.” His love for the sport transcends barriers that exclude full and quality participation, demonstrating resilience and sportsmanship at its finest.
