Can visually impaired people play golf?

Yes they can! See video below of Barry McCluskey sharpening his skills

Here is Barry McCluskey sharpening his skills for the 2019 season. Barry is one of our new members and in his first season secured a Vision Cup Rest of the World team call up. With ball striking like this you can see it is well deserved. #blindgolfer #blindgolfscotland ⛳🏌

Our training day, held at Kingsacre in Edinburgh, went very well and we hope to hold a similar event again.

Congratulations to Ally Reid and Barry McCluskey who were part of the ‘Rest of the World’ team who took on North America and won in this great competition.  Well done Ally and Barry!!

Congratulations to Barry McCluskey who won the ISPS Handa US Blind Golf Championships in Arizona in April 2019.

What an amazing win for one of our own, Barry McCluskey won 1st prize in the B3 category at the ISPS Handa US Blind Golf Championship.  Although a relatively new member of Blind Golf Scotland, Barry is a determined young man and put in a lot of hard work – and it really paid off!!

With the launch of this website we are rebranding ourselves as Blind Golf Scotland.

We hope you like the new look and feel of the website. We wanted to be fresher, brighter and more appealing to all ages. Please bear with us while we get all documents and branding updated, you may see both brands for a short while.
