That\u2019s the beauty of the game: it\u2019s universal, inclusive, and deeply personal at the same time,\u201d says the man who found golf five years ago in a search for his new identity.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Bernardo Garc\u00eda Infante has a genuine passion for golf that can fairly sweep you along. He firmly believes the game has the power to change the lives of others, and this friendly, thoughtful family man from Mexico City speaks from his own experience.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cDeeply personal\u201d for him means finding the courage in his late twenties \u2013 after being born with a compromised left arm \u2013 to face losing the use of his right arm in a motorbike accident in 2015. How did he beat depression, regain confidence and find fresh purpose in life after this?<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Well, Bernardo says he was able to rebuild himself, shot after shot, from his first discovery of the game in 2020. All this with his left side hitting the ball. The left side and the left arm \u2013 once seen as his weakness \u2013 is now his ally.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cGolf is so important to me because it gave me back my life,\u201d smiles Bernardo. \u201cAfter my accident, I lost direction and confidence and I didn\u2019t know who I was anymore. Golf became the space where I could rebuild myself, one swing at a time. It taught me patience, acceptance, and the power of persistence.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The 38-year-old now wants to show other people with a disability how the sport can offer the confidence to thrive. Bernardo is the founder of Adaptive Golf M\u00e9xico, which he created with friends to help promote and grow disability golf in his home country. Its goal is to reach existing players, discover new ones, and inspire children with disabilities to know that there is a place for them in this sport.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">When we chat to Bernardo he is leading a project called \u2018Golf para Todos\u2019 (\u2018Golf for Everyone\u2019), all about encouraging others to try; sharing that confidence that he has found through the game. An exciting prospect, coming from a unique place, personally and geographically: Mexico.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21466 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HV2_3129-1024x711.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HV2_3129-1024x711.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HV2_3129-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HV2_3129-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HV2_3129-1536x1066.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/HV2_3129.jpg 1984w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI was born and raised in Mexico City, which is one of the largest and most vibrant cities in the world,\u201d Bernardo tells us. \u201cIt\u2019s a place full of contrasts: history and modern life mix together everywhere you go. Even though it can be chaotic, I love the energy and the diversity of people here. It\u2019s also where I live today with my wife Carla and our two children, Franco and Lia. It\u2019s always been home for me; it\u2019s where I\u2019ve faced my biggest challenges and also where I\u2019ve remade my life through golf.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Bernardo lives with a neurological condition called syringomyelia, which affects the left side of his body, especially his left arm. It\u2019s a rare condition that creates a cyst inside the spinal cord, damaging the nerves and causing loss of strength and mobility.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOver the years, I went through several surgeries, including a brain operation, to relieve the pressure and prevent further damage,\u201d explains Bernardo.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cA few years later, I had a severe motorcycle accident that completely changed my life. My right arm was left without movement or function, and I suffered major internal injuries \u2013 both lungs collapsed, and I had three internal bleedings. I was very close to not being here today. It also led to a period of real depression. But the whole experience made me realise that I am living on borrowed time, and it gave me a fresh, new perspective on life \u2013 a deeper appreciation for every single moment.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">How Bernardo coped with his misfortune and found this fresh perspective clearly owed much to the support of his family but also his ability to grab a second chance.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21465 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/e04282af-dfa1-4528-b155-5be33c266896-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/e04282af-dfa1-4528-b155-5be33c266896-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/e04282af-dfa1-4528-b155-5be33c266896-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/e04282af-dfa1-4528-b155-5be33c266896-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/e04282af-dfa1-4528-b155-5be33c266896-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/e04282af-dfa1-4528-b155-5be33c266896.jpg 1065w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">He was fortunate to grow up in the city in a comfortable environment in a loving family, thanks to his father\u2019s hard work and long career in insurance, and his mother\u2019s passion for supporting others through the city\u2019s \u2018third sector\u2019. He says: \u201cMy father came to Mexico City looking for an opportunity and has always been an example of hard work and discipline. He built a remarkable career. My mother&#8217;s passion has always been to help the most vulnerable. She has dedicated her life to different foundations and institutions, supporting causes that range from children with cancer to education for underprivileged kids.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cTogether, my parents created the backbone of our family. Their strength and love have been fundamental for me, my wife, and our children in order to face my disability and move forward with hope and purpose.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Bernardo only became curious about golf after seeing players on social media, videos of golfers using one arm to hit the ball. Bernardo&#8217;s real estate business had failed in the pandemic and he was working for his brother in finance but he felt the urge to leave the \u201cfamily safety net\u201d and try something again for himself.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAfter suddenly losing the use of my right arm, I had spent years trying to hide my disability, even from myself. Golf changed that. It gave me a reason to face my reality and to transform it into strength. For the first time in a long time, I wasn\u2019t focused on what I had lost, but on what I was capable of doing.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cSucceeding in golf \u2013 with my affected left side from birth \u2013 felt like reclaiming my life. It made me realise that my greatest victories would come not from avoiding my limitations, but from embracing them.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21464 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/29ab5f36-7537-4e08-a680-6ab319efd022-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/29ab5f36-7537-4e08-a680-6ab319efd022-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/29ab5f36-7537-4e08-a680-6ab319efd022-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/29ab5f36-7537-4e08-a680-6ab319efd022-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/29ab5f36-7537-4e08-a680-6ab319efd022-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/29ab5f36-7537-4e08-a680-6ab319efd022.jpg 1065w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cEvery swing is a challenge, but also a victory. Golf became my therapy, my purpose, and the way I rebuilt my life. I now live each day fully aware of how precious it is to simply be alive.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI installed a small golf net in my garden, and purchased a used set of clubs on Amazon. On the day my clubs arrived I hit my very first shot that night, and I started my golf journey. My first shot was on November 17, 2020. Then, every evening after putting my son to bed, I would go outside and hit about 200 balls. It became the moment of my day where everything else disappeared \u2013 I felt calm, focused. I knew I had found something special, even if at first it was just a hobby.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAt that time, I never imagined I would dedicate myself to golf full-time, but those nights practising in my little garden were the beginning of the path that changed my life.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt was an emotional experience not just about learning a new game, but about learning to believe in myself again. When I started to improve and see progress, it wasn\u2019t the score that mattered; it was what it represented. Every good shot reminded me that I was capable of much more than I thought.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWhat I love about golf is that it\u2019s a game that mirrors life. It teaches you patience, resilience, and humility. Every shot is a new opportunity no matter how bad the last one was. You always get another chance to start again.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cPlaying golf with one arm reminds me every day that we don\u2019t need to be perfect to achieve something extraordinary.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">He became a member at Club de Golf M\u00e9xico and found a welcoming home at the prestigious venue, with fellow members and staff being supportive from the start.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_21470\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21470\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21470 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0519-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0519-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0519-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0519-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0519-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0519-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Herbert Wirtz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Bernardo\u2019s first \u2018G4D\u2019 (golf for the disabled) tournament was in February 2023 and, as the G4D community is still relatively small in Mexico at present, he has travelled to the U.S. and Europe to play a small number of tournaments including in France and Spain, a highlight being a second place earned in his Gross category in the Mediterranean Adaptive Open in Mallorca in November, 2024. He is proud to be present at these tournaments wearing the badge of Mexico on his shirt.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In his support of the potential to grow G4D, Bernardo is busy spreading awareness through Adaptive Golf M\u00e9xico, reaching out to find new golfers with a disability of all ages and supporting existing players. He is excited about \u2018Golf for Everyone\u2019. He explains: \u201cIn \u2018Golf para Todos\u2019 we promote adaptive golf and inclusion in Mexico through events, clinics, and media content.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cTogether with my partners, we are building a YouTube channel and podcast to tell the stories of athletes and people who, like me, have turned challenges into strength. I also work closely with foundations and brands that support adaptive sports and accessibility. So even when I\u2019m not playing, my life still revolves around golf \u2013 not as a game, but as a tool to change lives.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">To further this aim, Bernardo has been giving motivational talks to companies and organisations, where he speaks about resilience, rebuilding after adversity, and finding that purpose.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe Mexican Golf Federation has been a great ally in building this path for Adaptive Golf M\u00e9xico. Together, we\u2019ve been exploring and shaping this new branch of golf, and with the first national adaptive golf tournament held last year, we set an important precedent that golf for the disabled is growing and being recognised.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAlso, my home course of Club de Golf M\u00e9xico has played a fundamental role in my journey. It has supported me and my project from the very beginning, helping me pursue my goal of becoming a reference in adaptive golf in my country. The first adaptive golf tournament was held there, and I\u2019m deeply grateful to them.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21467 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0508-1024x685.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0508-1024x685.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0508-300x201.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0508-768x514.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0508.jpeg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cLooking ahead, I would love to see not only a national tournament structure here in Mexico but also a couple of dates in the U.S. and European calendars that attract international players to Mexico. Our country has incredible golf destinations, and I\u2019d love to showcase them to the global adaptive golf community.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe know the market niche here is smaller compared with other countries, but golf\u2019s popularity in Mexico is growing rapidly \u2013 and now is the perfect time to use that momentum to open this branch of the sport with passion, purpose, and seriousness.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Again that word \u2018purpose\u2019. This has been a driver for Bernardo and through all the support he has received, his family has understood his vision at every step, not least his wife Carla.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWhat I love the most is that golf gave me back my purpose. It allowed me to reconnect with who I am, to inspire others, and to show that no matter the circumstances, there\u2019s always a way to move forward.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI\u2019ve been married to Carla for 12 years, but we\u2019ve been together for almost 20. She has been my backbone and my light through every challenge I\u2019ve faced, especially in my health journey. Her strength, patience, and love have been the foundation that keeps everything standing. Without her, none of what I\u2019ve accomplished today would have been possible. She\u2019s been there through every fall and every rise, always believing in me even when I doubted myself.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_21471\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21471\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21471 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2013-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2013-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2013-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2013-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2013-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.edgagolf.com\/profiles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2013-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bernardo enjoying some time with his wife Carla and the children, Franco and Lia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cGolf has had an incredible impact on my health and wellbeing in every possible way. Physically, it keeps me active and constantly challenges my body to adapt and stay strong despite my limitations. Emotionally, it gives me peace. When I\u2019m on the course, I forget about pain, stress, or fear. It\u2019s just me doing something I love.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Bernardo adds: \u201cBut maybe the biggest change has been mental. After my accident, I went through depression and lost confidence in myself. Golf gave me structure, goals, and a sense of purpose again. It helped me rebuild not only my body, but my mind and my spirit.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cToday, I can honestly say that golf saved my life. It taught me to be patient with myself, to celebrate small victories, and to live every day with gratitude. The golf community has been incredibly welcoming, and I\u2019ve met amazing people from all over the world who inspire me every day.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cFor me, golf is a perfect mix of exercise, focus, and joy. It\u2019s the place where I can compete, grow, and at the same time, simply enjoy life.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI would recommend it to anyone, especially to people going through difficult times, because golf heals in ways that go beyond the physical.
