Henrik from Copenhagen…….

Hi there! I’m Henrik Hansen and I'm a fire fighter in the Copenhagen Fire Department in Denmark where I've been for over 28 years.

My passion is golf and I have played at the Games many times, I have also competed in the Muster event in Adelaide in 2007.

I have some great memories of playing golf at the World Police and Fire Games – at the 1999 Games in Stockholm I was partnered up with a fire fighter called Chuck from Memphis and we had the best three days on the course. Unfortunately, I lost touch with Chuck after the Games and didn’t expect our paths to cross again. That was until I turned up for my first day’s play at the 2001 Games in Indianapolis.

I was unloading my clubs from the boot of my car and heard this yell from the other side of the car park. I wondered who it could be and I turned round to see Chuck! He ran towards me yelling...."Henrik from Copenhagen…….???" I of course responded, “Chuck from Memphis....???” We spent hours chatting like we had known each other for years – this is what makes the spirit of the Games for me.

Chuck from Memphis, if you’re reading this, I really hope you are coming to Belfast!!
