Have heard that one a lot , therhino , particularly from players who dont have the best sight . Some eye help works on golf courses , some doesn't . Always wondered how anyone visually impaired( even marginally) managed to play . We had the World Blind champioships here in the North of Ireland a few years ago , shook my head at that one , tricky . And one of the celebrations was a big firework display --wonder how many competitors appreciated that ?

Not sure , therhino . One of the guys had a very decent gross score on one of our good local courses , but guess some were partially sighted . A lot had helpers who lined them up and talked them though the shots , but guess it would be slow on average ( maybe not five and a half hours though , which now appears to be par for the course , mores the pity ).
There is no limit to human ingenuity though , even if its an absolute minority involved .

at school my pal always caddied for partiall sighed man who never tipped him, he rectified the tip problem by saying " I think you need a reload mr.." he would then pick up the guys original ball on the fairway as they waked to the provisional ans sel him a few of his own balls back to him a few weeks later

TOP TEN CADDY COMMENTS....... 10 Golfer: "Think I'm going to drown myself in the lake." Caddy: "Think you can keep your head down that long?" 9 Golfer: "I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course." Caddy: "Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth." 8 Golfer: "Do you think my game is improving?" Caddy: "Yes sir, you miss the ball much closer now." 7 Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?" Caddy: "Eventually." 6 Golfer: "You've got to be the worst caddy in the world." Caddy: "I don't think so sir. That would be too much of a coincidence." 5 Golfer: "Please stop checking your watch all the time. It's too much of a distraction." Caddy: "It's not a watch - it's a compass." 4 Golfer: "How do you like my game?" Caddy: "Very good sir, but personally, I prefer golf." 3 Golfer: "Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday?" Caddy: "The way you play, sir, it's a sin on any day." 2 Golfer: "This is the worst course I've ever played on." Caddy: "This isn't the golf course. We left that an hour ago." 1 Golfer: "That can't be my ball, it's too old." Caddy: "It's been a long time since we teed off, sir."

Course Ranger approaches after a few holes - "may I suggest that you play from the front markers or start your hole at the 150 yard maker? I am sure you would have a lot more fun!”
