Hypnosis for Blind Golfers: Insights from Working with England and Wales Blind Golf Charity

Blind golf is a unique and inspiring sport that requires not only skill and strategy but also a deep level of trust between the golfer and their guide. Unlike traditional golf, blind golfers rely heavily on auditory, kinesthetic, and spatial awareness to navigate the course and execute their shots. As a hypnotist specialising in golf performance, I have had the privilege of working closely with blind golfers through the England and Wales Blind Golf Charity. This work involves adapting hypnotic techniques to enhance mental resilience, confidence, and focus in players who face different challenges from sighted golfers. This presentation explores the approaches I use, the results achieved, and how hypnosis can be a powerful tool in adaptive sports.
