Blind Men Play Over 6,718 Yard Golf Course for Title Two blind men played over the 6,718-yard course of the Northland Golf club at Duluth, Minn. (Aug. 28, 1941) for the world's blind golf championship. They were Clint Russell, a Duluth business man, į the defending champion, and Marvin Shannon, a lawyer of Fort Worth, Tex. A high wind which cut down long drives handicapped the contestants, yet each scored accurate drives and sank long puts that brought cheers from a large gallery. Both scored several 3s and 4s for pars. Neither required more than 9 for any hole. Russell won the match 2 up, retaining his championship. His total score was 112 against Shannon's 115. The eyes of the blind men were their professionals. The pros described the lie of the ball, and the distance and height of the shot required. The player selected his own club, and the professional placed the clubhead in the proper direction. Actual driving, chipping, putting and the like were up to the blind golfer.
