🎖️ Mission Accomplished! 🎉🇺🇸⛳
On Tuesday, May 20th, almost 40 veterans stepped onto the tee box. On Tuesday, July 1st we celebrated our Veterans at Graduation. Each Veteran came away with a fresh outlook, stronger commitment to each other, and a lifelong love for the game.

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) introduces golf as powerful therapy, boosting physical, mental, and emotional well-being at no cost to our heroes. Thank you Etowah Valley Golf Club for your continued support of our Veterans. Thank you to Hot Dog World for the graduation food and Laura E. Corn Mini Golf for the venue. I appreciate all of the PGA Coaches for your dedication to PGA HOPE and our Veterans.

⛳ Ready for your next chapter?
Our next 6-week PGA HOPE program will be enrolling soon. If you’re a veteran looking to improve your golf game, build resilience, and find camaraderie with your fellow Veterans, drop a “HOPE” in the comments or DM us for details—spots fill fast!

Veterans....Please take 30 minutes to watch this inspiring video about PGA HOPE. PGA HOPE Ambassador, Colton Hensley, and several other Veterans were spotlighted on this show. The show aired on CBS and ESPN during the PGA Championship. I am very proud and honored to have been a part of this video. PGA HOPE saves lives! Colton Hensley and every Veteran that attends the program is impacted in some way. Thanks Colton for sharing your story and allowing me and every Veteran to be a part of your journey!
