A highly successful ISPS HANDA Australian Blind Open concluded at Emerald Lakes Golf Club in Queensland last week with a Queenslander, Jamie Hain, taking home the main honours.

Hain, from Logan and a regular at BGA events, won both the overall net winner in the national championship by a shot from Darren Solly, and also won the Queensland Inclusive Championship which ran in conjunction.

Another Queenslander, Joshua Wood, won both the national and state junior titles.

“It was perfect weather, we had good numbers and it went really well,” said Solly, who is vice-president of BGA. “The course played tough as Emerald Lakes can do for a championship.”

At a closing function to complete the week, Blind Golf Australia extended its deepest gratitude to all the participants and their caddies who participated.

The Blind Golf Australian Board (David Martin, Darren Solly, Tara Fraser, Mark Eschbank, Peter Heinrich and Andrew Patterson) have worked tirelessly over the last few months along with the generous support of ISPS Handa and International Blind Golf Association to make the event possible.
