What the Vision Cup is all about

The Vision Cup is an International blind golf event which uses a "Ryder Cup" format having Team North America and Team Rest of World going head-to-head in match play.  The first two days involve doubles matches using the Pinehurst format. The final day has 12 singles matches.

The 2017 Vision Cup marks the third addition of this prestigious international blind golf event.  Previously in 2015, The Vision Cup was retained by Team Rest of World 14.5 points to 9.5 points.  Team North America have yet to win the Vision Cup and hope to change that on home soil in 2017.  You can check out the video below to see what the Vision Cup is all about.
