PGA HOPE

Franko Poynter celebrated his 21st birthday in Vietnam. On today’s Vietnam War Veterans Day, we salute Navy Veteran and PGA HOPE Ambassador Franko Poynter, along with all who served. Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans. Today and everyday, we thank you for your service.

Kevin Vinson’s PGA HOPE instructors proved that PGA HOPE is about more than just the game of golf: “The PGA HOPE program lets me know that PGA of America members care about us, and want to see every veteran and active duty member build self confidence.”

Spring is almost here! Jump into this new season with PGA HOPE. Over 3,800 Veterans and Active Duty Military personnel have registered for a PGA HOPE session this year. Find a PGA HOPE program near you and register today at the link in our bio.

We asked PGA HOPE graduates to describe their PGA HOPE experience in one word. Here is what they said: Joyful. Engaging. Inspiring. Community. Enthusiastic. Competitive. Family. Wanted. Learn more about how you can join this life changing mission at pgareach.org/pgahope

PGA HOPE would not happen without dedicated PGA of America Golf Professionals: “PGA HOPE was amazing and helped me connect with the game of golf and fantastic instructors. Every time I go there now to play or practice it is a family atmosphere.” - Adam Dunn, Air Force Veteran
