We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for making the effort to come to our fundraising event Project Golf Charity Golf Tournament at True Blue Golf Club!
More than 100 donors, volunteers and participants in Project Golf gathered recently for the 2022 Project Golf Jamboree at the organization’s North Myrtle Beach, S.C. headquarters, to celebrate its achievements and thank supporters for aiding the non-profit organization’s mission both to grow the game and to apply it as a therapeutic tool to help those in need.
Welcome to the end-of-the-summer edition of the Project Golf Newsletter. I can't help but reflect on 2019 when Project Golf began as a simple whiteboard idea to grow the game of golf through several different channels...from junior golfers to beginning golfers, to disabled veterans, and everything in between.
As a critical element of their involvement with Project Golf‘s PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), PGA Professionals undergo special training to help our wounded veterans learn and enjoy the game through adaptive means. Hear from PGA HOPE National Instructor Brian Oliver and PGA REACH Carolinas Programs Director Jessica Asbury on the impact this effort is having on veterans in need.

Our veteran program, PGA HOPE, started its 2022 season in January with PGA Supervised Practice session at our Barefoot site. Graduate veterans of PGA HOPE were able to continue their golf learning experience by participating in a four-week supervised practice program enabling them exclusive access to the practice facility while being taught how to practice with a purpose by our PGA Professionals.
Project Golf’s story is beginning to be told and we are getting inquiries about classes, volunteering, and tournament partnering. From a fundraising perspective, this community has been extraordinarily generous. We thank all of you for your donations, time, funds, and equipment.
This week’s activities in Project Golf’s signature grow-the-game initiative, “An Introduction to Golf,” offered a compelling look at the wide range of learning pillars the program offers to those playing the game for the first time.
