 | Netherlands Hans Arendzen Professor, MD, PhD Contact | Professor Hans Arendzen MD, PhDAs a member of the EDGA board and Medical Committee from 2010, Professor Hans Arendzen has played a very important role in the development of golf for the disabled. EDGA’s Tony Bennett talks with Hans about his career and some of the important milestones that have been achieved with golf for the disabled and his aspirations for the future. Professor Hans is Dutch, lives in the Netherlands but his work has taken him to hospitals from the USA to the Dutch Antilles over a long and distinguished medical career. Playing golf as a student, he put the sport aside for 30 years before taking it up again with enthusiasm and becoming a decent club player. A teacher and mentor of his called Professor Wim Eisma has been a leading figure from the early days of EDGA. “Wim was my tutor for 20 years,” explains Hans. “In 2010 he contacted me and said, ‘do you know someone who likes golf and is interested in getting involved with EDGA?’ And I said, ‘Well… maybe… I am!’ ” | ||||||
