Mulligan Profiles

About the authors

All of the interviews contained in this EDGA profiles section have been instigated and produced by EDGA's chief writer Ben Evans and President Dr Tony Bennett.

Ben is a member of the Association of Golf Writers, and is the former Editor of magazines Pro Shop Europe and Golf Business Development. In recent times, he has written extensively on the many golfers with disability who play in the EDGA community.

Dr Tony Bennett is Head of Disability & Inclusion for the International Golf Federation and is volunteer President of EDGA. Tony is a Master Professional of The PGA (GB&I), and recently completed his PhD. in Philosophy at Durham University, drawing on many of these articles in his evidence-based research. Tony was chief writer EDGA's book ‘Mulligan’, 18 remarkable stories of golfers who refuse to be defined by disability, edited by Ben. The high-quality EDGA image archive complements all of these stories and is the work of Sue Bennett, EDGA’s Photographer and a passionate volunteer and ambassador for this not-for-profit organisation.

The writing and production of each piece here is the work of Ben and Tony, with a good number of audio articles supported by engineering specialist Martin Maynard. Our team wishes to thank everyone associated with EDGA for their valuable input, including its member National Golf Federations, partners and, most of all, the players and their families.
