"To empower people with vision loss to realize their full potential, and to shape the community's vision of that potential.”
Our programs and services are designed to empower our clients to move beyond limitations.
A ball soars through the air and lands within inches of the hole. A volunteer golf coach positions the golfer and the clubs, and then, offers guidance on what type of shot it is. The blind golfer carefully takes aim and putts.
Clients who are visually impaired and blind have renewed their "love of the game" through the Blind Golf Program. While you have heard "keep your eyes on the ball," a visually impaired or blind golfer is assisted through the "eyes" of others. Individuals learn or relearn the sport through this innovative program.
Clients can participate in a variety of golfing activities including:
- Instruction from PGA Professionals
- Driving Range Practice
- Course Play
- Tournaments
BLIND GOLF PROGRAM
This program is targeted to adults who find their time on the course both relaxing and invigorating. With a few simple techniques, and a good coach, people who are visually impaired or blind can enjoy a game of golf. Learn about the Golf Program, find a coach and enjoy the company of golf enthusiasts.
