    My brother was paralysed 6 weeks ago after a bike accident. He’s still in hospital with a very long road ahead but this may be a way for him to play me at golf again one day. Thank you for a great video and what an inspiring man.

    When I first saw the introduction I wondered if Liam was taking this too far but Liam with his authenticity, humour and Chris's incredible positivity and humour, I thought this is the best video you guys have done thus far! Chris is a hero and my guess is he's one of the best cops around. Thumbs up to the Golfmates in support of this cause and to the future owner of one of these vehicles.

    Please give a nice comment for chris! I think he's an incredible human being!
    We travelled down to the beautiful Shire London Golf Club to meet Kris Aves, Kris is the most inspirational golfer I have ever met. Kris was unfortunately involved in the Westminster bridge attack in 2017, where Kris lost the function of his legs and sustained spinal cord injuries. Even after all the hardship Kris has endured he still has the heart to get himself out and play golf despite the difficulties he faces. This is why Kris invited me to try out the paragolfer vehicle, in order to understand how hard it can be for impaired golfers to play our sports.
    Thank you To Cae Menai-Davis for helping facilitate our visit and for his amazing charity work.

    I've got cervical myelopathy which is spinal cord damage my limbs are affected but I'm still able bodied,I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself ,this channel always gives me a lift and I'm getting back into golf as a result of Liam ,Mr Barlow, Josh,Lee,and O.M.P inspiring me to do so and i thank you all for your efforts in making great videos, especially this one, what a top bloke Chris is,I have a couple of things in common with him in both being spurs fans who's favourite player is Ledley king or Lesley king for Liam 😂,what I haven't got in common with Chris is his resilience and refusal to quit in circumstances which are far worse than mine, thanks for today's lesson and the motivation it has given me to get my act together.

    How can anybody give this video a thumbs down. Kris is an inspiration after what fate has dealt him and is probably one of the most positive people about life I have seen in a long while, a real inspiration. Well done Liam for brining us something really different to us, keep it coming.

  • @briannicholson1342
    @briannicholson1342 3 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Liam - Thank you for sharing this with all of us! Chris is truly an amazing person. As you know, as a disabled golfer myself it is not all about scoring but instead it is being out and about and having a few laughs. I applaud all who have helped CHRIS in his journey. In the USA, I have hit more barriers to go enjoy a round than I would like to admit. But that only pushes me to work toward greater acceptance of handicapped golfers here. Would love to play a round with Chris but even more share a pint with a great guy!

  • @simmo5071
    @simmo5071 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Amazing I was playing today and one hole behind me was a chap with a missing leg (left). He would get to his ball using crutches then drop them and address the ball standing on one leg. Remarkable balance and surprisingly a good golfer. Just watched the rest of his story, not often we get the follow up to terrorist attacks. My heart goes out to this guy. But I can’t cheer on the spurs the line has to be drawn somewhere! 👍👍👍👍

      Liam let the golf mates know how we can support the disabled golf charity I would be in for a fund raising day….as an aside I played in Majorca about 15 yrs ago with a guy who only had one arm his right missing and he had the most beautiful languid swing ….battered me I think he won 5 and 4 both off 17….👍

    This was, perhaps, my favourite of all the Golf Mates videos. What a bloke and how great was it to see Kris playing (and winning) golf. Brilliant. Up the Spurs (and you'll know how much that cost me as a Chelsea boy since 1966.....). Well done, too, to Liam and the whole Golf Mates team involved in putting this together.

    I had a lump in my throat when Chris said he cried when he hit his first shot in his chair - the things we take for granted - golfs a frustrating game - but also it’s the best sport I’ve ever played - great video - good luck Chris in the Ryder Cup next year 👍👍👍

    I had my first experience with this incredible machine already 1996 in Germany. This time I met a South African golfer, former PGA player who lost the function of his leg due to a car accident. He told me he invented this fantastic vehicle together with the University of Cologne. After playing a few rounds with him at Düsseldorf Meerbusch Golfclub I lost the contact to him. Years later I learned that he suffered additionally of MS and died beginning of the 21st century. I never forgot this experience. Luckily I met another guy with a machine in ST Tropez at the Sainte Maxime 2020 first time playing a round of golf with him. Joining the same flight I met my future new love (fiance) playing with us. So the machine even was my match maker. cheers

    Once again this is why GolfMates is a special community! Kris is a remarkable person and it gives us all the inspiration to overcome almost anything life throws at us. I personally have not been able to play golf for the last year due a disease in my right hand. In two weeks going in for the second surgery to hopefully allow me to get back out there. Thank you Liam for an inspirational video.

    Watching Chris playing golf with his disability is inspirational and tells you no matter what happens in life, you can overcome just about anything with the right support and encouragement.

    What a great inspiration. It hits so close to home since I’ve been playing with one hand ever since I’ve been playing golf. We have to make adjustments and remember we are not able to swing like all of the instruction videos. It’s a challenge but it makes me love playing even more. Golf mate videos makes me laugh and I watch them while I’m playing to remind me to enjoy playing. Good luck Chris and keep on playing.

    World Class!! "C'mon you Spurs"!! 👍 An absolute true inspiration to anyone. Not just in golf, but in life, we are all faced with our own adversities and this is testament to never give up.

    The human spirt, is a humbles. As a golfer, with little to no health challenges, see a fellow golf brethren, in a condition that this man is in, steps up and walks-the-walk...I take a step back and say: There walk a man with a spirt we all should strive for. What a truly waking moment for us all. Thank you Liam for bring us to know such a man. In addition, a BIG shootout to Mizuno for telling you about Kris!

    I have full capabilty and Chris plays better than i do after 31 years in the game. I ever catch any of my playing partners pissing and moaning about aches and pains as a excuse as to why theyre not playing well, im showing em this vid. Thank you for your service Chris and thank you Liam for bringing this insprirational content. 👍

    Brilliant episode Liam. Thank you for using your platform to highlight Kris' story. Given every golfer has a "handicap", I can think of no better sport to bring all of us "handicappers" together - which makes this sport so uniquely special. I hadn't heard of the Cairns Cup before seeing this video; I look forward to watching it...and cheering on Team USA! :D
