Goodwill Supports Visually Impaired Golfers at Sight For All United’s Outing

Sight For All United held its annual Golf Fore Sight outing on Monday, June 2 at The Lake Club, bringing together community members, supporters and advocates for a day on the green — and a meaningful step toward greater accessibility in recreational sports.

This year’s outing featured a special new element: Visually impaired individuals were invited to learn how to golf prior to the event teeing off. With guidance from dedicated volunteers and support from Envision Blind Sports, participants experienced the joy and challenge of the game in an accessible and welcoming environment.

Representing Goodwill were Otho Mae Braziel, an integral part of the Youngstown Radio Reading Service (YRRS) team, and Patty Poorman, a longtime volunteer and listener with a deep commitment to service and accessibility in the Mahoning Valley.

“Sight For All United continues to show what community collaboration can accomplish,” said Mike Muder, manager of YRRS. “Creating opportunities for everyone to participate in activities like golf is something we proudly support.”

Participants were introduced to the fundamentals of the sport, learning how to chip, putt and hit with a driver. Instructors worked closely with each individual, offering one-on-one support and adaptive techniques to help them build confidence and develop new skills on the course.

The Golf Fore Sight outing not only raises funds to support vision-related services but also highlights the importance of equity and empowerment for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
