PGA HOPE Wisconsin (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) introduces golf to Veterans from all backgrounds to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. Participants of PGA HOPE programs include military Veterans living with physical or cognitive challenges such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and amputees, among other challenges.
This introductory program is designed to welcome those of all ages, branches and eras of service, genders, and abilities to the golf course and share in camaraderie and fun together as a group. Participants will learn the basics from grip to 9 holes of golf from PGA Professional Pat Gorman. For many injured Veterans, adaptive sports provide their first exposure to physical activity after injury. PGA HOPE programming is fully funded by PGA REACH and is NO COST for Military Veterans.
This is a 6-session series, beginning April 2, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. at Vitense Golfland in Madison.
