This championship brings together blind and low-vision golfers from across the Western provinces, the rest of Canada, and, in some years, international competitors. They are joined by their coaches/guides and families. We expect more than 90 participants and family members to attend, making this event not only a competitive sporting championship but also a celebration of community, inclusion, and resilience.
Blind golf is played under the Rules of Golf, with accommodations and the support of a sighted coach/guide. Events like this reduce barriers to sport and foster confidence, connection, and belonging—benefits that have a meaningful impact on both mental and physical well-being.
