World Deaf Championships Come to Scotland

Defending champions USA will start as favourites for the men’s World Deaf Championships to be played over the Fairmont Torrance Course at St Andrews from 9th to 13th August.
Having won six of the previous seven men’s championships and three out of four ladies championships, their teams this year include two previous winners of the men’s individual event and one winner of the ladies individual event.
Sixteen countries from as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, South Africa and ten European countries, including first-timers Netherlands, Norway and Germany, will join the US in making up a record field for this biennial event.
Scottish Deaf Golf Association President, David Wilson, said “We are delighted that playing the championship at St Andrews has proved such a great attraction to deaf golfers from around the world. Every nation in membership of the World Federation is coming to Scotland.
"We plan to make it an unforgettable occasion for our visitors, but organising such a prestigious event over a whole week is a huge challenge for our members and we need a lot of financial and practical support to make the championship the success we’re aiming for”.
