SWING FOR SIGHT 2025
Introducing Manie Blom – one of the new faces of Team Retina SA!
We’re thrilled to welcome him to Team Retina SA at this year’s Swing For Sight!
Diagnosed with Stargardt’s at age 9, Manie is a Paralympian, 12-time national champ, and African record holder in shot put and discus. Oh and he also won the Blind Golf Open (NET) in 2019.
From the athletics field to the fairway, Manie shows us what unstoppable really looks like. We can’t wait to see him in action.
This year, the visually impaired 4-ball team is proudly sponsored by Nuture Vision – a partner who deeply believes in the power of para sport to break barriers, uplift communities, and change lives. Their support goes far beyond branding; it’s a statement of belief in ability, inclusion, and a future where vision loss doesn’t mean being left behind.
