Emil Maehler is the kind of person who lights up every room-or, in his case, every driving range and golf course he steps onto. Born with spastic cerebral palsy, Emil has spent more than 20 years mastering the game of golf, becoming an inspiring force and a proud Ambassador for the South African Disabled Golf Association (SADGA). But Emil’s story is so much more than golf; it’s about determination, connection, and finding joy in every moment.
Emil communicates differently from most people. Unable to speak, he relies on sign language and his trusty mobile device to express himself. These tools allow him to build meaningful relationships and share his passion for golf and life with those around him. His resilience and unique way of connecting with others leave a lasting impact on everyone he meets.
