We played our national championship at The Republic Golf Course in San Antonio, Texas..... But blind golf as a whole is on the uprise there is tourneys going on all around the world right now. I recieved an invitation to play in a tourney next July over in Glascow, Scotland. And sir it is pretty amazing thing to see and watch when you think about most of the people out there are completely blind, i happen to be a lucky one with about 8% of my total vision left so i can at least see the ball down on the tee which is more then most and my two day scores were 81, 78. So its is amazing what people could do when given the chance. But i was serious in wanting everyone to go and try blind folded hitting golf balls.

74 from the tips at Granada golf course in hot springs village arkansas and didn't see one of the shots :)

78 from the tips and i didn't see any of it.

This is my first post so lets see how it goes. How many people out there have ever heard of blind golf? I'm sure everyone knows a blind or vision impaired person. Now imagine that person going out and playing a round of golf with you? impossible most would say. Well this week in San Antonio, Texas 30 blind golfers representing the US, Canada and Scotland competed in 3 sight categories playing for the title American Blind Golf National Champion. I am a 4 handicap 2012 B-3 National champion and I am over 90% blind. I would love for everyone to go out to the range and blind fold yourself and try to hit balls and then come back and tell me how was your experience.
