Orléans golfer places fourth at US Open Blind tournament
Fred Sherwin
April 28, 2022

Orléans blind golfer Kevin Frost recently placed fourth at the U.S. Open Blind Championship in St. Augustine, Florida despite having not played a full round of outdoor golf in over six months.

Frost was the only Canadian competing in the tournament which was played using the Stableford scoring system. Under the Stableford system a birdie is awarded three points, a par two points and a bogie one point. Points are awarded based on the golfer’s handicap. Since Frost has a 24 handicap, he got an extra shot on every hole. So a par three was a par four and a par four a par five, etc.

Over the two rounds of the competition, Frost managed to rack up 44 points, one point behind the third place golfer and two points out of second place. Not bad considering the tournament was played on the vaunted King and Bear Golf Course designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus The winner scored 49 points.

There were 18 participants in Frost’s category which is for golfers with five degrees of tunnel vision. Given the fact that all of the other golfers in the tournament play year round, Frost was pleased with his result. It also gives him a ton of positive momentum heading into his next two tournaments – the Vision Cup in Ohio in June and USBGA National Blind Championships in Minnesota in July.

"Considering I hadn't played at all this winter, I thought I did pretty well," says Frost referring to the fact that Ottawa's climate severely restricts his ability to practice. "The more rounds I get under my belt this spring the better I should be able to do in June and July."
