I am Charles-Henri Qu\u00e9lin, I am from France, I live in Paris, my home club is Saint-Non-la-Bret\u00e8che where they used to have the Lanc\u00f4me Trophy, so it\u2019s quite famous. All the big names like Palmer, Jack Nicklaus all came.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had the luck that my father lived on the golf course, so I start to play golf when I was young. I start to play right-handed because I have a disability with my right arm, it\u2019s really shorter than my left arm. So C\u00e9cilia Mourgue d’Algue, she is very famous and she asked me one day when I was very young, ok what\u2019s your problem, with your left arm, with your right arm?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So she says, maybe you should try to play left, because your left arm is really longer than your right arm, so it could be easier to play like this, or instead when you grow up it will be really difficult. So I decide to change after many operations, like they tried to make it longer and finally I start again with the left, although I putt with my right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Because I had been working my golf hard, I could play for the national team [France], like with Gr\u00e9gory Havret, and with other players like that for four years or so.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am 38 years old and I have joined EDGA to compete with other disabled golfers for three years now. I still have some tournaments with valid golfers, but I really enjoy the spirit. I think that it\u2019s amazing to see people play golf with big big handicaps, so I really have a good time, every time I play a tournament of disabled golfers it\u2019s impressive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had the luck to play tournaments like the French Open, Lanc\u00f4me Trophy or even the Open of Brasil, which is professional, but it\u2019s nice to play these kind of tournaments because you see things that you can\u2019t believe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I really have a good time every time I play with all of those guys, it\u2019s really good fun, and I like the spirit. Everybody is like come one everybody is the same, they have a love of golf so it\u2019s not only because you have a problem with your leg its just about having fun playing and it\u2019s just a game so have fun, it\u2019s good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is your best golfing highlight so far? I would say, I have a very good souvenir of, well we finished third once in Italy in 2000 [1999]. I like to play golf by team you know, it\u2019s really good fun, like the Ryder Cup, you can see the guys it\u2019s so emotional. And we finished third in the European Championship and so it was really a good souvenir, a good souvenir.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I would say for my favourite golf course, I played one British Amateur in the North of Ireland in Royal County Down and it was a very good souvenir of this course, it was tough, I think Simon Dyson won the qualifying, and I think that it was Graham Storm who won the tournament that year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to someone with an impairment who would like to start playing golf?\u00a0Well I would say that maybe to check on the website, it depends on what is the problem, and to compare the problem with a person that is playing golf for the disabled and how do they do, it depends if the problem is with the legs or the arms, or I don\u2019t know but I would say that there is still a solution.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You have to find it, by yourself for sure, but you can have a look, how they do. So perseverance and to believe in it, and I am sure that you can still, ok if you don\u2019t have any arms it\u2019s not easy, but if you can take the club, it\u2019s ok, you will find a solution.<\/p>\n
