Deaf World Golf Championships were held at Royal Drottningholms Golf Course in Stockholm,
Sweden from July 26-29, 2004. The General Meeting was held the day before the tournament began and a few
highlights to share:
Canada is hosting the next World Golf Championship in Edmonton, Alberta on 18-21 July
2006. Australia won the bid to host the 2008 Championship in Joondalup Resort in Perth, October 2008.
Opening Ceremony was held at Skyteeholm where they unveiled WDGF's new flag! The
tournament had both CISS and WDGF flag proudly displayed. Some members of the Organizing Committee
proclaimed the Games "open" by shooting the balls against the sea. There were drinks and dinner provided
that evening.
