Oopsies and other strange, interesting, and useless information....

A blind British golfer who won the world championship for
the second time is being investigated over claims he may
have some vision. The Times of London reported the English
Blind Golf Association began the inquiry into David Morris
after he became the first player successfully to defend
the title at the competition in Melbourne, Australia. The
inquiry began after a complaint to the association that
the 61-year-old Morris may have had an advantage over his
rivals in the category for totally blind golfers. The
criterion for blindness is that competitors are unable to
recognize the shape of a hand at any distance.
Association spokesman Barrie Ritchie said Morris was
tested before joining the association and had provided
medical evidence to support his application. Morris,
who is currently traveling to Japan for the Blind Open
Tournament starting Friday, has been told of the
complaint but was unavailable for comment.
