A player who is blind may get help from an aide in taking a stance, with aiming before the stroke, and by asking for and getting advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no penalty if the player, caddie or aide sets an object down to help with aiming or to help in taking a stance for the stroke to be made (such as a club set down on the ground to show where the player should aim or position their feet), but<\/strong> the object must be removed before the stroke is made. If it is not, the player gets the general penalty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before making a stroke at their ball in a bunker, a player who is blind may, without penalty, touch sand in the bunker with a club in the area right in front of or right behind the ball, and In making the backswing for a stroke, but<\/strong> in doing so, the player must not improve the lie of the ball more than would result from lightly grounding the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more detailed information on the rules of golf and the specific modifications for golfers with disabilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n VISIT R&A GOLF WEBSITE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n As golf organizations work to increase the diversity and inclusion of golf, blind golfers now have new opportunities to play, such as Golf Canada’s annual All Abilities tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2026 Canadian All Abilities Championship – Golf Canada<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Past Results<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2025 Canadian All Abilities Championship – Golf Canada<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2024 Canadian All Abilities Championship, presented by BDO Event :: Welcome<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 Canadian All Abilities Championship – Golf Canada<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
