Empower Golf take on Air Adventure’s 4-day Ultimate King Island Barnbougle adventure

POSTED ON November 24, 2022 @ 10:07 am

In October, Empower Golf Australia Founder and World Number One Quadriplegic James Gribble, Bali Bombings Survivor and Double Amputee Ben Tullipan together with King Island local and one-armed golfer Jigs Denby took on Air Adventure‘s 4-day Ultimate King Island Barnbougle adventure.

The trip was created to show that Australia’s most remote courses are accessible for all and that disability is no barrier to experiencing the greatest places on the planet.

Watching James, Ben and Jigs take on these epic Tasmanian courses in the same way they take on life, with huge smiles, unwavering positivity and a can-do attitude from start to finish was truly inspirational.

This trip was more than a golf trip, it was a lesson on life and perspective!

And we were lucky enough to have Ross Flannigan from My Love of Golf along for the ride to capture this trip for you. We highly recommend you take the time to click above or below to watch this video as you will see both amazing golf footage as well a remarkable story of inspiration.

Enjoy and be inspired.. and as James Gribble said with his usual humour “Without wanting to be “that guy”, if you’re contemplating this trip.. don’t let someone else beat you to it!!”
