2024 PGA HOPE Registration Now Open!
PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans with the purpose of enhancing their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being.
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.
For any questions or concerns, Contact Danielle Monas at the Section Office at (216) 765-1214 or dmonas@pgahq.com.
After graduating from PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), Veterans have the opportunity to sign up for Operation Play Days, held at various facilities around Northern Ohio. Veterans will be paired with another member of the armed forces in a two-person scramble for a round of golf and lunch at some of the area's top courses. Sign up today to be a part of the experience!
Included in the Operation Play Days:
- Access to the Putting Green and/or Driving Range prior to the round
- 18 Holes of Golf in a Cart
- Lunch
- Prizes for the Winners of Proximity Contests
