We are excited to share highlights from the 47th Annual Guiding Eyes for the Blind Golf Outing, held on June 10th at the scenic Mt. Kisco Country Club. It was a wonderful day of golf, guide dogs, and giving. Dive into our gallery below to see how these incredible elements came together to create an unforgettable day.
Eli Manning, a longtime advocate of our organization and current board member, stands on stage with his close friend and fellow Guiding Eyes supporter, Pat Browne III, as Pat speaks at the podium. Pat’s father, Pat Browne Jr., was a champion blind golfer who helped pioneer the sport.
Guide dogs Kenji, a male black and tan German shepherd, and Jessie, a female black Labrador retriever, pose together in harness on the golf course at Mount Kisco Country Club. A golf ball sits at the feet of Jessie, while Kenji rests his head on the green patiently.
Donovan, a male yellow Labrador retriever guide dog in his blue UniFly harness, sits at the side of Mike, Guide Dog Trainer, and carefully watches a golfer tee off.
