Rod Mills from New South Wales won the 2016 Blind Golf Victoria Open Championship played at Rosebud Country Club on 14-15 April. Rod who is a B3 player on a handicap of 30 played a solid first round with Ian Winnett as caddie scoring 37 stableford points to trail leader Stephen Mitchell by 4 points. On the final day he came out with Geoff Mowthorpe as his caddie and scored 32 points to narrowly defeat David Wheatley from Victoria (B3 handicap 36) by 1 point on the par 72 South course.
Deanna Minciullo (B2 handicap 36) from WA won the Ladies Championship, while David Blyth from Vic won the B1 title, and Graham Coulton from NSW and Jeff Ellis from Vic won the B2 and B3 titles respectively. A total of 19 players from five States took part in the event.
Rosebud Country Club was congratulated by Blind Golf Victoria President Mr Doug Sloan not only for the use and presentation of the course but also for the gracious level of support provided by the many volunteers who helped stage the event.
Sponsorship opportunities are available to anyone wishing to offer charitable support to the blind golf community. Also, blind golf is open to people of all ages and is a perfect avenue for those club golfers who are experiencing some sight loss to stay involved in our great game.
Blind golf has 3 sight categories; B1, B2 and B3 which relate to how much sight a player has. B1 players are totally blind.
Anyone wishing to learn more about these sponsorship opportunities, or either playing blind golf or caddying for a blind golfer may contact Gary McInnes on 0417 055 731. They may also go to the Blind Golf Australia website www.blindgolf.com.au or see www.internationalblindgolf.com
