PGA HOPE

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is dedicated to enhancing the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of military Veterans, many of whom face significant challenges such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and amputations. By introducing Veterans to adaptive golf, the program aims to improve their quality of life and support their recovery, addressing critical issues such as suicide, which claims the lives of 22 Veterans every day. Backed by research and clinical experience from the Department of Veterans Affairs, PGA HOPE highlights the vital role of physical activity in health maintenance and rehabilitation. Fully funded by PGA REACH, the program is offered at no cost to Veterans and operates under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Veterans Affairs, allowing Recreational Therapists to refer Veterans to PGA HOPE as a therapeutic resource.

PGA HOPE Georgia (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is an adaptive golf program offered by our PGA Professionals as a rehabilitation tool to improve our Veterans’ quality of life by enhancing their mental, social, physical, and emotional well-being; however, all Veterans are eligible to participate depending on space available in our clinics. Clinic space will be given to veterans on a first-come, first-serve basis and new veterans will take priority.

The only individuals allowed to give golf instruction at the PGA HOPE clinics are PGA HOPE certified PGA Members. Anyone who is NOT a PGA Member cannot give golf instruction. For example, a graduated PGA HOPE veteran or volunteer cannot give instruction or run a clinic.
