Retford GC has a WORLD CHAMPION
Mark Marshall - Crowned One Arm World Champion
Retford’s Own World Champion – Mark Marshall’s Incredible Journey

We are proud to celebrate a truly extraordinary achievement by one of our own. Mark Marshall, who grew up playing right here at Retford Golf Club, has been crowned the One Arm World Champion – a triumph that speaks volumes about his talent, resilience, and spirit.

Nicknamed “the one-armed Jon Rahm,” Mark continues to leave fellow golfers “gobsmacked” with his 270-yard drives and unshakable mindset. After losing his right hand and much of his forearm in a workplace accident, he has rebuilt his game with his left arm, through years of dedication, pain, and perseverance.

His journey has inspired many – not just for what he’s overcome physically, but for the strength he’s shown in life following the tragic loss of his partner, Emily Rose.

Now a world champion, and soon to represent Europe in the one-armed equivalent of the Ryder Cup, Mark stands as a shining example of courage, skill, and determination. We couldn’t be prouder to call him part of the Retford Golf Club family. Read Mark's Story Here
