“Positivity is my gasoline,” says Finnish golfer Timo Pessi.
This high octane energy he is only too happy to share with both his friends and the new players he embraces in G4D (golf for the disabled). After a motorcycle accident 17 years ago, Timo balances the tough times with an infectious live-for-the-moment attitude, which is particularly in evidence when enjoying one of the loves of his life, golf.
Timo estimates he has played in around 50 international G4D events over the last decade. Meanwhile, at his home golf club, KanavaGolf in Vääksy, southern Finland, he has organised six golf camps for golfers with brain injuries/conditions in recent years.
Timo is one of those rare people who whenever they smile at you it lifts your spirits. “The accident happened and you can't reload that,” he explains. “Life is too short for negativity and if you stay positive the people around you will be too. Life is much better that way.”
