^^^At least it was intentional^^^ --------- Saw this on SportsCenter and then decided to look for more information on it. I found nothing more than what was already reported, but great story nonetheless. Blind golfer sees no end to rumours http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?click_id=29&art_id=qw1085026321176G415&set_id=1 May 20 2004 at 06:12AM London - His uncanny ability to hit fairways and greens using only verbal instructions from a helper has seen Briton David Morris twice become world blind golf champion. But now critics say he has somewhat of an advantage - he can see. Morris, 59, is being investigated by the English Blind Golf Association over allegations that he is in fact partially sighted, a series of newspapers reported on Thursday. Among evidence gathered against Morris is video footage showing him apparently walking around his home town of Newquay, southwest England, without using a stick. In one sequence he strides confidently across a road, negotiates a narrow gap between parked cars and then swerves to avoid a dog, the Daily Mail newspaper said. Morris's titles have been claimed in the section reserved for those with no sight whatsoever. A local council official was quoted as saying in the paper that Morris - who always wears dark glasses - had once waved at him in recognition in the street. "I was flabbergasted," said Gary Redman. "He was 30 feet (nine metres) away and he raised his arm to wave and then lowered it quickly as he realised what he had done."

I was going to say, there's a difference between legally blind, and those who are completely 100% no sight blind. A lot of my friends are legally blind, but of the 10 or so legally blind people I know, only 2 of them are completely without sight. Once you actually learn about different eye disorders, it's amazing how many different ways there are to be "blind". This guy is just an ass. He may still be "legally blind" but just abused the system to get some titles.
