MILITARY

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) Minnesota is a six-week adaptive golf program offered to Veterans free of charge and taught by PGA Professionals.

  • Designed to introduce Veterans to the game of golf in an effort to enhance their overall quality of life.
  • Utilizes golf as a rehabilitation tool to improve our veteran’s quality of life by enhancing their mental, physical, social and emotional well-being.
  • Open to all Veterans, but geared specifically for those suffering with disabilities to assist them with the assimilation back into their local community.
