Blind Golf

Blind golfer with coachYes, blind people can play golf.  In fact, the rules are almost identical to regular golf.  Here are some of the key differences.  A blind golfer can:
  • Have a coach or guide stand on the line of the shot while the shot is being played
    • The coach verbally describes the hole, assists in choosing the right club, and aligns the club head behind the ball
  • Ground their club in a sand trap or other hazard
Blind golf is played in 15 countries, including the US.  The IBGA World Blind Golf Championships is held every every two years.
