2015 WORLD BLIND GOLF MATCHES

2015 WORLD BLIND GOLF MATCHES

On June 22nd to 25th 2015  I had the pleasure of attending the 2015 World Blind Golf Match Play Championships in Milan, Italy  put on by the International ISPS HANDA Blind golf Association with 12 of the top blind golfers from North America, who were competing against 12 of the top golfers from the Rest of the World. The Championship was held at the famous  “ Circolo Golf Villa D’este “ in the Como area of Milan, Italy. What a beautiful layout and scenery was magnificent. The Italian organizers, staff and volunteers were just wonderful and looked after everyone. The Competition was in all the 3  Vision Imparied categories in B1,B2, & B3.  We had two B3 golfers from British Columbia. George Thirkill from Langley,B.C.  and Darren Douma from Creston, B.C.  The competition format were the same rules as the Ryder Cup format with 2 days of Team matches and the Last day of Individual matches. The Team Matches were fairly close for two days and on the third day in the individual matches the Rest of the World jumped ahead even though our closer George Thirkill won 3/2 to close off the tournament.  What a wonderful experience for everyone that attended and look forward to the rematch in 4 years.  If you know of anyone that is blind and interested in playing and learning golf, have them contact nitrogolf.
