PGA National Day of HOPE

PGA Hope (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of PGA REACH Colorado. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans with disabilities to enhance their physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being through the game of golf. The founding chapter of PGA HOPE within the Colorado Section is located at Cheyenne Shadows Golf Course at Fort Carson and was launched in 2014. 

The Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB) at Ft. Carson is a temporary assignment for soldiers recovering from major service-induced injuries. Through a partnership with the WTB at Ft. Carson and with the support of the PGA Professionals at Cheyenne Shadows, the PGA HOPE program was able to provide an introductory golf experience, playing and social events for more than 100 wounded warriors and their families, all at no cost to the soldier or their support system. 

In 2021, we grew to 7 host facilities and 200 participants spread across our large section boundaries (Colorado, Eastern Wyoming, and Black Hills, South Dakota)! Moving forward, we will add additional host facilities to accommodate the number of veteran requests in our section.
