MIND OVER MATTER
SID
SOMANI
In May 2019, just two days before his fourteenth
birthday, Sid Somani met with an accident that
made him fear the worst: not being able to
play golf again. With a broken tibia and fibula,
Sid knew it would take a long time before he
could swing a golf club again and a recovery
would take huge amounts of will and patience.
However, he was up for the challenge.
After his surgery, the doctors recommended a
minimum of 4 months rest as his mobility was
extremely limited and made daily tasks such as
taking a shower a challenge.

The time was unfortunate, it was just prior to his
final grade exams and a summer holiday which
he was looking forward to spending in Hong

as she could to take care of him, for which he is
very grateful. As an only child, he has been very
close to his parents and they were one of the
biggest motivators and supporters through the
recovery.
It wasn’t until mid September that Sid could start
making full swings and building out his game
