World Blind Golf
World Blind Golf is a global Australian-based not-for-profit organization which was established in 2021 to help increase the levels of participation in the rapidly-growing sport of Blind Golf. The organization also aims to provide existing blind and low-vision golfers with increased opportunities to play local, national and international tournaments.

On their website World Blind Golf states their main objective is integration and inclusion of blind and low vision golfers. All World Blind Golf games and tournaments offers all blind and low vision golfers a level of inclusion which is unique within blind and disabled golf insofar that all vision and sight categories have been removed. The normal paraolympic sight categories and disability classification of B1, B2 and B3 have been eliminated completely allowing all golfers to play together regardless of their individual level of sight loss or vision impairment. Instead of using sight categories which are difficult to administer and often based on unreliable testing methodologies, World Blind Golf games are played using regular WHS golf handicaps. In practice, this has also assisted players to integrate more within their local golf clubs, playing groups and wider golfing communities because blind golfers only need to maintain one handicap, just like regular sighted players. This enables World Blind Golf players the ability to also play club and representative games with sighted players using regular handicaps, thereby allowing blind golfers to enjoy the benefits that come with more fully integrating with their friends, club and community. By encouraging inclusion and integration, blind and low vision players are also likely to enjoy the increased levels of happiness and satisfaction and at the same time, minimize the negative effects which come from not participating equitably. Such debilitating effects include isolation, malaise and depression. Instead, World Blind Golf offers players the opportunity to enjoy all of the benefits of golf in particular and outdoor sport in general.

Senior and Junior divisions
World Blind Golf is also the first disabled golf organization to include both juniors and seniors divisions. World Blind Golf has established communities of practice which aim to increase participation and golfing ability of blind and low vision golfers who are below 18 and above 55. Ro date, these demographics have not been provided with opportunities to compete against others of a similar age. World Blind Golf also provides registered PGA coaches and all-ability community coaches with coaching resources based on leading best-practice all-abilities golf instruction.
