PGA HOPE Middle Atlantic
PGA HOPE Training Registration for PGA Professionals
PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America.
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.

2019 Middle Atlantic PGA HOPE Ambassador
Golf has been, in many ways, the "glue" that helped it all finally stick. :) They gave me a path back to myself and my family. And that's the best hole-in-one I could ever HOPE for.
