It all started when…

Meet Gianna Rojas, Oak Ridge, NJ, known globally as the “One Handed Lady Golfer”.  Yes, you heard that right, Gianna was born with no fingers on her left hand, “although you would never know it after 30 seconds of meeting her” says Charlie Rymer.  But there is much more than meets the eye. For Gianna Rojas, no obstacle is too daunting to tackle. Having been born without fingers on her left hand, Gianna is known world-wide as the “One Handed Lady Golfer.” She strives to bring attention to golfing success stories people with physical, cognitive, sensory, health and age-related challenges. She does not like the word disabled, “We are all able just differently ABLED and we just want to be Golfers first. We just happen to have this that or the other, doesn’t everyone” says Gianna. Despite her own challenges, she inspires and motivate others to “get out of bed and out of their head” and by sharing her own story she hopes to inspire others who may question their own abilities, “Can I?” to a “How can I?”

Recently named by the LPGA as one of the TOP 22 Woman “DISRUPTERS” in the Golf Industry, Gianna is the epitome of adaptive empowerment through Golf. She is a Keynote Speaker and Presenter, Brand Ambassador, Advocate, Approved Education Provider, and an Adaptive Athlete. The start of 2019 Gianna was selected by the R & A and USGA as a World Ranked Golfer with a Disability. Her passion is contributing to re-imagine what Golf is and what a Golfer looks like by including individuals with cognitive, physical, sensory, health and age-related challenges. She advocates to make the experience more compelling, engaging, relevant and accessible for Adaptive Athletes, the Golf Industry and Brand Sponsors.

Gianna certainly Walks the Talk!

Today, Gianna collaborates, sits on committees and is an active member of many organizations. She is also an Adaptive Athlete and a three-time division winner in the Adaptive and Para Long Drives, and is on the USA Disabled Team participating in International and National events.
