MICHELE WATTS
Episode 27
Sunday, 1 June, 2025

Our guest today is Michele Watts. Michele lost her sight through 2015-16 to a rare eye disease. Yet by 2017 she was an Australian champion blind golfer and in 2018 claimed an International World Blind Golf Championship title. She recently won the national blind golf championship for the second time and has qualified for Team Asutralia at the International Blind Golf Championships in Canada in August. Alongside her excellent achievements in blind golf lies an accomplished professional career and a strong history in volunteering. Today we’re going to learn more of what being a blind golfer means, and what we can do to support this brilliant community of golfers.
