Do totally blind golfers compete against partially blind golfers?
OVIG has no classification except that you must hold a valid CNIB client card. National and International events require a medical examination. The purpose of the examination is to determine the sight category in which you will play Blind Golf. Blind Golf is played by people who qualify for one of the three classifications used in the game, B1, B2, and B3, defined as follows.
B1: No sight at all up to light perception but not able to recognize the shape of a hand at any distance
B2: Sight is from recognizing the shape of a hand up to 2/60 Snellon or it's equivalent.
B3: Sight is better than 2/60 but does not exceed 6/60 Snellon. |
Where are the events held?
OVIG holds its events at various golf courses from Toronto, ON to London, ON starting in May and ending in September. In late August, a two - day Provincial Championship is held. Check Events for more detailed information. |
