PGA HOPE southwest

Training Sessions | Participating Facilities | Certified Instructors

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) introduces golf to Veterans and Active Duty Military to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. The program introduces the game of golf through a developmental 6-8 week curriculum, led by PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency. All programs are funded by PGA REACH and supplemented by the Southwest PGA Foundation, so the cost of programming is free to all Veterans.

The success of PGA HOPE is based upon the collaborative efforts between PGA REACH, the PGA Sections & their PGA Professionals, the newly partnered U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, local Veteran Administration hospitals, as well as the host site where PGA expert instruction aligns with building friendships. The lifetime sport of golf has proven to be an excellent activity for competition and rehabilitation, while enabling Military Veterans to assimilate back into their community through the social interaction the game provides.

Upon successful completion of a training session, participants will receive a PGA HOPE membership card which entitles them to special deals at these participating facilities.
