The DYLAN BAINES story

In 2017, Dylan Baines was involved in a car accident in south Wales which could easily have killed him. He would wake up in hospital with a broken neck, paralysed, to be told by a doctor it was unlikely he would walk again. He was 22 at the time.

The rehabilitation has been slow but also careful. Just under five years later it was remarkable to be talking to Dylan in the sunshine of Portugal for the last EDGA Tour golf event of 2022; with Welshman Dylan Baines the popular winner in the Net category, applauded by new friends among 80 players from 15 countries.

From lying on his back paralysed for six weeks, to shooting a Net 71 to secure an EDGA trophy, Dylan’s story is about, resilience, faith, friends and family, and the joy of golf.
