We are here for golfers of all ages, and it is all about helping blind persons enjoy the benefits and joys of golf.<\/p><p>OBG offers and promotes many opportunities to play. In a typical year our events start in early Spring and the Fall including London, Kitchener, Cambridge, Hamilton, Port Perry and the GTA. August 9-11, 2024 the three-day Provincial Blind Golf Championships are being hosted at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapleviewgolf.com\">Mapleview Golf &amp; Country Club<\/a> in beautiful Perth, Ontario.<\/p><p>OBG is a charity, and we subsidize all events, including the three-day Provincial Championship allowing for approved travel and overnight accommodations where appropriate. Each year the Board of Directors sets a nominal registration fee for members and associate members. <em>In 2024 that is $75<\/em>. Members pay a flat $25 fee for the daily events and Coaches play for free with golf cart rental included. In some cases Coaches choose to not play. The only time a Coach can not play alongside the members is usually during the competitive rounds\/final day(s) of the Ontario or Canadian championships.<\/p><p>If you wish to join OBG as a New Member or New Associate Member please contact our Membership Coordinators <a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioblindgolf.ca\/directors-bylaws\/\">Deanna Morgan or Brian Morgan<\/a>.<\/p><p>There are 2 documents you are required to complete. A membership application, one for returning members and another for new members, and a sight classification form.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioblindgolf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2024-Registration-Form-for-Returning-Members-Accessible-Word-Updated-PDF.pdf\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\"><b><i>2024 OBG Registration Form &#8211; New Members (PDF)<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioblindgolf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2024-Registration-Form-for-Returning-Members-Accessible-Word-Updated-PDF.pdf\"><b><i>2024 OBG Registration Form &#8211; Returning Members (PDF)<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p><p>While our fee structure has stayed the same, some changes have been made to the membership form to help facilitate the Blind Golf Canada membership portion.<\/p><h2><strong><em>IBGA Sight Form<\/em><\/strong><\/h2><p>The International Blind Golf Association information captured on this form will be stored by the National Blind Golf Association as well as the IBGA for the purpose of sight classification.
