BLIND ISRAELI GOLFER

Blindness No Handicap for Israeli Golf Ace (Reuters)
Blind Israeli golfer Zohar Sharon realized the dream of every amateur hacker when he shot a hole-in-one on the 160-meter, 15th hole at the Caesarea Golf Club on Monday. Sharon was delighted when his caddy, Shimshon Levy, found the ball nestled in the cup. "He went crazy. I did not understand what he was shouting about, I thought a snake had bitten him," Sharon said of Levy, who lines him up for his shots. Sharon, a 53-year-old former paratrooper, took up golf after he was blinded by chemicals sprayed in his face during a combat operation with the Israeli army.
