Blind Golfer Gets A Hole In One

By Aleki in Sports on Apr 12, 2008 at 12:32 pm

An 85-year-old legally blind golfer from southern Arizona made a hole-in-one this week on a par-3 course.

Playing with a group of fellow blind veterans enrolled in a Veterans Affairs health care system program, Dunham’s volunteer assistant lined him up with the ball, handed him a 9-iron and stepped back.

Dunham swung through the ball, hit it squarely and it landed softly on the green, taking one hop before nestling into the bottom of the cup.

Guess I just need to quit when a blind golfer plays better than I.

that would be a one in a billion chance, too bad he used it on the golf course and not on a lotto ticket.

Legally blind is not necessarily the same thing as completely blind. I’m legally blind without my glasses, but with corrective lenses I have no problems.

I got a hole in one at a golf course recently. I’m really terrible at golf. I considered it a miracle.

I wonder how cool it would be to do that infront of folks who consider themselves Pros?

bean: no such thing as legally blind without glasses because legally blind is defined in terms of vision with best correction possible.

So there.

Legally blind is still not the same as what we would consider completely blind.
