The week will also serve as a prelude to the 3rd PGA National Day of HOPE that will occur on Veterans Day, Sunday, November 11. PGA National Day of HOPE celebrates the heroes who protect our freedom with Veterans’ golf events in conjunction with active PGA HOPE programs across the United States. “Our goal with PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week is to create an event that reinforces the positive impact of the PGA HOPE program on so many Veterans,” said PGA HOPE Military & Veteran Liaison Chris Nowak. “Veterans will not only receive the very best golf instruction and wellness training through this unique program, but they will come together with influential leaders to share their stories of inspiration and motivation.” “Congressional Country Club has been hosting PGA HOPE programming since 2017, and we see first- hand the vast benefits this program is providing to U.S. Military Veterans,” said Bev Lane, President, Congressional Country Club. “These Veterans are America’s heroes, and PGA HOPE is a terrific program that utilizes golf as a way of aiding them as they transition back in society.” Teaching professionals like Mark Croft in Yuma, Arizona, Ty Anderson in Alabama and Rich O’Neil in South Carolina have been at the forefront of developing local PGA Hope Chapters and have seen the powerful affects helping our military veterans can have. PGA HOPE is offered at no cost to U.S. Veterans. There are currently more than 90 PGA HOPE Chapters scattered across the country.
