Terry Ramage

Age: 62 (retired)

Above Elbow Amputee

I had a car accident in 1971 suffering nerve damage at the spine, but no visual damage. After various medical assessments I had the arm amputated in 1972.

Prior to the accident I played Rugby Union and continued to play until 1983 when a few mates retired and took up golf. I played golf spasmodically until 1992 when I started playing every week.

I represented Australia in Standing Volleyball at the World Championships in Poland in 1998 and The Pan American Championships at Montreal in 1999.

I was a keen water skier, including barefoot skiing, but the body is not willing any more.

Golf is now my passion and I play at least twice a week.

My golf handicap is currently 16.

I have played in 3 Australian Amputee Opens:

2006 Coolangatta-Tweed

2007 Horizons, Port Stephens Runner-up B divn. Nett Above Elbow

2008 Capital, Canberra Runner-up B divn. Nett Above Elbow

I played in the winning NSW team in 2006 & 2008.

I have played in 2 NSW Amputee Opens:
