One organisation stands out for its remarkable commitment to making a difference in the realm of sports and philanthropy. World Blind Golf, a global force for change, not only champions the cause of visually impaired individuals but also actively engages with the Firefly Initiative platform. Through their dedication to volunteering, they have not only given their time but have also accumulated valuable hours on the Firefly application, contributing to their mission of creating a brighter, more inclusive world.


The 2023 Qld Blind and Low Vision Open golf tournament, organised by Blind Golf Queensland in affiliation with World Blind Golf, took centre stage. Held from July 27-28, 2023, at the prestigious Parkwood Golf Course, this event provided a unique platform for blind and low vision golfers from around the world to showcase their exceptional talents.


Uniting Competitors and Spectators: A Testament to Resilience and Community

The tournament proved to be a heartwarming gathering, where golfers with varying degrees of vision impairment came together to compete, connect, and celebrate the remarkable achievements of the global blind golf community. These athletes displayed extraordinary skill and precision on the golf course, using specialised techniques and heightened sensory perception to navigate fairways, feel terrain, and align their shots. Their passion for the game fostered camaraderie and a sense of belonging.


As the Major Sponsor, Dr. Brad Carver’s support shines a powerful light on World Blind Golf and the broader mission of inclusivity in sports. This sponsorship not only reflects a profound understanding of the importance of providing opportunities for blind and low vision individuals but also underscores the significance of creating platforms for these remarkable athletes to showcase their talents, build friendships, and inspire others.


World Blind Golf took centre stage in this event, emphasising the importance of inclusivity and providing opportunities for blind and low vision individuals to excel in sports. This tournament not only offered a competitive platform but also served as a testament to the incredible capabilities of blind golfers, promoting a world where sports know no boundaries. It was a celebration of talent, determination, and unity within the global blind golf family.
