Transcript:

Hello everyone!  I am Don Conway, Vice President for the World Deaf Golf Federation.  I would like to share the highlights on the behalf of the WDGF Board.   The first highlight is that throughout 2013, the Board have kept up with business very well by emailing and texting. As well, we are continuing good relations with the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) as we are still hopeful for golf to be included in the 2017 Deaflympics.   We will know the result later in 2014, more likely at the 2014 General Meeting in the USA.

The second highlight is the upcoming 2014 World Deaf Golf Championships that will take place in July.  The time is getting closer and we are excited!  The Board continues having good relations with the 2014 WDGC committee. Their website is very well done and easily navigated.  However, the member nations must follow the strictly deadline of end of April to pay for players fees, registration and so on.   Also, including in the April deadline, the bid for hosting the 2018 World Deaf Golf Championships and we look forward to receiving them!

The third highlight is the preparation for the 2016 WDGC in Denmark is well underway.  The committee is working hard for this event and is very well-organized.  Our relations are very good and we look forward to keep it up.  For more information, the update of the 2016 WDGC will be presented at the 2014 General Meeting.  We look forward to their progress updates!

The fourth highlight is the further updates on WDGF meeting, WDGC, and so on.  We will provide further details when time gets closer.

The fifth and last… not the least… here’s the drink to the World Deaf Golf family and all the best in 2014!  See you in the USA!!  Sláinte!
