Glenn has just played his first round of accessible golf

EnableMe member, Glenn Browne, was getting ready to go out to dinner with friends when he collapsed while trying to put on a pair of jeans. Lying on the floor, confused, he was unaware his phone was ringing until Miley the Jack Russell stepped in.

“She licked my face until I became more aware of my surroundings and alerted me to the phone ringing.”

Glenn dragged himself down the hallway and to the phone, it was his neighbour.

“He was calling to see if I was okay because he saw me walking earlier that day and noticed something wasn’t right. When I answered, I mumbled a few words and he said, ‘mate, you need to call an ambulance immediately’."

Glenn had to learn how to walk and talk again and still does not have movement in his left arm. He’s still recovering and has regular therapy. Glenn is a keen sailor, and he has now added accessible golf to his activities.

He says, “I just had my first game. I absolutely loved it. A mate, and my OT, suggested that I give it a go. I can see that playing golf will make me feel more included and the exercise will help with my recovery. It gave me a real lift; I think playing golf will help with my mental health too.”

Glenn is also a member of a Golf after stroke Facebook group.
