Blind Golfers play with a volunteer caddy who is tasked with aligning the head of their golf club to the golf ball and helping the player navigate the course. \n“If you are blind or have less than great sight\, it’s a perfect time to take up the support – we now have the support of many golf clubs and golf organisations\, there’s a huge awareness of the needs of blind golfers within our affiliated golf clubs and we’re also now the beneficiaries of amazing technology which provides our golfers with a lot of independence while playing golf” said Mr Herdegen. \n“We use many types of golf gadgets including small talking GPS units which speak the distance to the flag on each hole – it can really help some golfers\, it’s now possible to know where you are at all times when you’re playing golf” \nBookings for the free come and try golf day can be made by phoning the Darwin Golf Club Pro Shop on (08) 8927 1322. All golf equipment will be supplied. \n  \n
