TSB GOLF Andy Joiner, Sponsor ON THE TEE AT TSB
The Blind Golf Movement has struck at The Tennessee School for the Blind. Several totally blind and low vision students and adults have participated in the activity since it began in 1997. This program provides the opportunity for our students and adults in the Nashville area to explore golfing as a leisure time activity, and possibly more. Every Tuesday students receive training from professional golfers and volunteers from the community. The goals of this program are to demonstrate the importance of teamwork, improve communication skills, enhance appropriate social skills, gain self-esteem and self-confidence and develop new skills for life. Coach Andy Joiner, a former member of the Middle Tennessee State University golf team, is the TSB team sponsor. The team is a member of the United States Blind Golfer’s Association.
