WOW!!! Surprise…Deaf & Blind Golfer breaks 90 for the First Time

Posted on October 1, 2026 | Leave a comment

I recently purchased a new putter from Innovations Golf called the “ Precision
Level Putter”, and after one month of practice, I can honestly say it has been a
game changer for my Putting! I have always shot above in the 90’s++….I Shot a
85 recently in a Provincial tournament.
The Putter has a built-in Level device that you can use during practice and
removed for official tournament play, It teaches you to develop the proper Putting stance position and consistency on every putt and suitable for any level golfer.
Since it’s considered a training aid under the rules of golf, it can also be used
during practice rounds as a Green’s reading devise which my guide assists me
with.
As a Blind and Deaf golfer this unique Putter is designed to help you learn through feel and sound. It also has a number of special features that help with that. The grip is a new type of technology that when the ball makes contact on the unique sounding face insert that a combination of the ball contact vibration and the unique audible sound waves that the face of the Putter makes it transfer into Stroke Distance Feel.
As an adaptive golfer I have to rely heavily on my senses of feel when I Putt. Since using the Precision Level Putter and learning to Putt by Feel my two-putts have become much more consistent and fewer three Putts. I have seen a noticeable difference in my confidence and consistency on the greens.
If you are blind, deaf or have a disability, or simply looking for a unique way to
improve your Putting, I encourage you to experience the Precision Level Putter.
Once you learn it and feel the difference it makes. Innovations Golf — The
Precision Level Putter has truly been a game changer for my game.

Visually impaired youth golfers learn the feel of the game

Visually impaired youth golfers learn the ‘feel’ of the game

By   Dylan Dyson

Keeping your head down and eyes on the ball is sound advice for golfers. That is, if you can see that ball.  On Wednesday, Ontario Blind Golf hosted a camp at Pine View Golf Course in Ottawa for visually impaired kids excited to learn the game.  For 14-year-old Ollie Acosta-Pickering, it’s all about the feel of the club and the ball.  “As a person with no vision, I normally use a lot of my sound and touch capabilities,” said Acosta-Pickering.  “I’ve seen people golf before I went blind and I knew it was a lot of fun to do.”

Acosta-Pickering says he lost his vision around the age of eight due to a rare type of blood cancer, ALCL lymphoma. But that didn’t stop him from pursuing his love of sports.  “I decided that after I became blind, I would do all the sports I could just try and kind of hold on to my original life of doing all kinds of different things as a sighted person.”   “I just love to play sports and just getting to try and feel throughout the sport, what it’s supposed to feel like. Once you get the good feeling of success, it can’t really go away and then you just want to keep doing it.”

2026 Precision “Level-Putter”

Posted on July 29, 2026 | Leave a comment

The Best Professional “LEVEL-PUTTER” training aid I have seen in 40 years of teaching golf and being a Putting Specialist to my Blind and Disabled students.

This new Precision “LeveL-Putter” and its amazing features are fantastic. I have only been using it for a week and I have tested it myself and found it comfortable and easy to use. The features and quality it has surprised me as well. This LeveL-Putter will also help the Blind students. Firstly, I noticed once we used the Leveling device it make it easy for my new students to feel comfortable with their stance….it was always perfect. The ability to take the LeveL device off the Putter and use it as a Greens slope reading aid during practice rounds in tournaments was a super combo feature for every Golfer….Crazy good. We then looked at all the other features the LeveL-Putter had, the sensitive grip feel was the First feature we really liked. My blind students made a few putts and right away noticed that they felt the ball contact through the putting face and could judge the distance the ball travelled…. One student mentioned that he has used many different types of Putters but none had the contact face feel of the contact vibration into the Grip handle and the unique sound off the Putter face really helped with distance control giving you that face feel in your hands with easy acceleration and No hoping off the face. The Putter weight was great…Not to heavy and….Not to Light and the colour of the club head was very gentle with no glaring markings to distract you…Only a small centre alignment line with 2 special centre zone dots on either side to help visualize the centre of the Putter face. We did ladder drills with the Putter with 5 balls and all the blind and visually impaired golfers surpassed their and my expectations with the drill. Their touch and feel was excellent. There is no doubt that this “Precision LeveL-Putter” will be an advantage to any golfer who hates 3 Putts….it’s so accurate with a wonderful release feel to it that the ball just glides off the face. The Price is very reasonable and not over the top like many brand name Putters we all use. The LeveL-Putter is a great addition for all my students and I’m letting everyone in the World know about it. This is definitely a 5 star product like the “ClearBall” Putter that Innovations Golf has developed.

2025 USGA ADAPTIVE GOLF OPEN

Posted on July 13, 2025 | Leave a comment

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR CANADIAN ADAPTIVE GOLFERS ON A GREAT SUCCESSFUL.SHOWING

2025 USGA ADAPTIVE GOLF OPEN at Rockville, Maryland is now in the record books. Kipp Popert, from England won the U.S. Adaptive Open for a third straight year, becoming just the fourth male player in history to win the same USGA championship three times in a row.

The 27-year-old from England joins Tiger Woods, who remains the only person to accomplish the feat in two different championships the 1991-93 U.S. Junior Amateur and 1994-96 U.S. Amateur. Carl Kauffmann (1927-29 U.S. Amateur Public Links) and Willie Anderson (1903-05 U.S. Open) are the others who have won the same championship three consecutive years.

Its definitely been on my mind, said Popert, who has cerebral palsy that affects his lower extremities, about the chance to make history with a three-peat. When I had surgery this year and my foot wasnt getting better, I wasnt looking forward to the thought of not being able to try. To come here and play the way I did, Im really pleased.

Joining Popert in the winners circle is Kim Moore, another familiar face in the history of this championship. Moore, 44, of Battle Creek, Mich., started the day three strokes out of the lead but played a steady, solid round to overtake Cassie Sengul and become the first two-time female champion of the U.S. Adaptive Open. She won the inaugural title in 2022 at Pinehurst No. 6.

It feels just as good as the first time, said a beaming Moore, who was born without a right foot and a slight case of spina bifida. This was definitely something I was looking forward to and hoping to

accomplish, and its just nice to be able to be on top again.
