Born in Dublin, Stone started playing golf at 13 and was a scratch golfer at 17. During his Paddy Harrington Golf Scholarship at Maynooth University he was diagnosed with a progressive form of Kyphoscoliosis and by 20 he was unable to play golf due to the severity of the curvature in his spine and associated pain.

Surgery before his 22nd birthday and two tough years of rehabilitation gave Conor a slow path back into golf and he now has a handicap of +1.1.

Wins in 2022 included the EDGA Pas De Calais Paragolf Open, the European Team Championship with Ireland and the English Disability Open.
