ISPS HANDA – 2018 USA BLIND GOLF CHAMPIOSHIPS

What a great tournament in Green Valley, Tucson, Arizona with approximately 100+ people attending from all over the World, Ireland, Israel, Canada and the USA enjoying the Sun and friendships. The tournament was held on April 6^th to 8th at the Haven Golf Course in Green Valley and the event was supported by many sponsors and the local Lions Clubs. Those Lion volunteers were just the best, so amazing. The winners in each category in the B1 – B2 and B3 all came away with wonderful tropies and gifts. The top B1 prize went to Zohar Sharon from Israel and our Canadian members Jeff Skemer from Kelowna and Doug Penner from Winnipeg also won trophies.

What a successful Blind golf event it was at the Western Canadian Championships in Saskatoon. Over 80 golfers were in attendance and “The Legends” Golf Course in Warman, Sask. Hosted the event. Of the many winners Keifer Jones, from Calgary, a 24 year old B3 Blind golfer broke the World Record for blind golfers with a -4 under 68 from the White Tees. I am so proud of Keifer and what he accomplished. Another student Josh also from the Calgary area shot a 95 from the white Tees. He is such an inspiration to other golfers.
