Bio:
Alex Fourie was born in Zvenyhorodka, Ukraine. He was born with one arm and a cleft lip and palate which may have been due to lingering radiation effects from the Chernobyl disaster a few years before his birth. After spending his first seven years in orphanages, he was adopted in 1999, weighing only 35 pounds and having soup for nearly every meal.
His parents put a golf club in his hand the first week he arrived in the U.S. He developed a passion for teaching golf, particularly to those with physical disabilities or limitations. He later founded Single Hand Golf, with a mission to inspire kids with adaptive needs to love, learn and grow in golf. His handicap is 0.6, making him the best one-armed golfer in the country. He is also a father to a beautiful baby girl, Lila.
