PGA HOPE Middle Atlantic
HOPE Training Dates for PGA Professionals & Associates: Coming this Fall
What is PGA HOPE?
The program introduces the game of golf through a developmental 6-8 week curriculum, taught by PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency. All programs are funded by PGA REACH and supplemented by PGA Section Foundations, so the cost of programming is free to all Veterans.
PGA HOPE has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which enables Recreational Therapists to refer Veterans to the PGA HOPE program as a form of therapy. Through a robust program strategy, PGA HOPE aspires to create a physically and emotionally healthier Veteran community by shaping lives, changing lives, and possibly saving lives through the game of golf.

Sean Bowman, HM2, USN (Ret.)
2023 Middle Atlantic PGA HOPE Ambassador
“When I got out of the Navy I was lost not knowing what to do, where to do it,” Bowman said. “It’s a huge transition when you go from active duty to the civilian world. I found myself going to the golf course again.”
