Ren Gallet

Hi, my name is Ren Gallet. I lost my leg 43 years ago from a bike accident just before my 17th birthday. I was quite a good ice skater at the time but was told I wouldn't be able to do it anymore, so gave it up. I played golf for a number of years (badly unfortunately) and was introduced into playing in amputee tournaments by Geoff Nicholas. I have since competed in 2 British, 1 Canadian, 1 U.S. and 1 Australian championship event, and the more recent Victorian championships.

Because my son decided he wanted to play inline hockey, I got the bug to skate again and compete in able-bodied competitions regularly, so I'm torn between the hockey and the golf and love playing both. I still play golf badly but love getting together with other amps and sharing our stories and having fun. The comradeship is important, the golf takes care of itself.
