“I lost a leg, others have lost legs and arms, it’s not the end of the world,” Robin Singh explains. “I had an accident in 1991 and had the amputation carried out in 1992, and I never looked back. That’s life. If you are confident in what you’re doing, nothing is going to stop you.”
Fast forward to January 2024, and Robin ‘Rambo’ Singh was able to feel the intense satisfaction of competitive honours when he lifted up the handsome trophy at the end of the G4D Tour @ Ras Al Khaimah Championship, in the heat of the United Arab Emirates.
Taking this title – the G4D Tour being at the pinnacle of golf for the disabled (‘G4D’) – was a special victory for the South African.
Today Robin is 66 years-old. As a boy he fell in love with golf, and worked as a caddie to learn the layers of the game. In 1991, the game that drove him on and which he could play so well, was snatched away in a car accident. The sport then lost Robin for a decade and only a chance meeting in a supermarket with a fellow injured player would bring him back.
It has been quite the comeback. Enjoy Robin’s story with EDGA today.
