The Estevan Lions Club raised money for a good cause during its annual CNIB Golf Classic on Thursday at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club.
Nearly 80 golfers participated in the fundraiser. Since it is a tournament to help CNIB, which assists people with vision issues, golfers donned a blindfold for their tee shots on the first hole, and their putts on the 14th hole.
Regina’s Judy Ursulan was on hand for the tournament. Ursulan, who is a blind golfer, demonstrated how she is able to play the game before golfers hit their tee shots on the first hole.
Ursulan said she has been playing the sport for 35 years, and competing for about 30. She has played in numerous tournaments for blind golfers.
She is able to golf as long as someone is there to help her line up her shot, and to watch her ball. Jackie Lay, a communications specialist with CNIB, was at Woodlawn to assist Ursulan.
She said golf allows her to get out of the house and participate in something competitive.
