The #WeAreGolf campaign is more than a celebration of sport within the Colorado PGA. It is a storytelling initiative designed to showcase the human heartbeat behind the game and recognize mentors who use the fairway as a classroom for life. While many see golf through the lens of scorecards and Sunday finishes, #WeAreGolf pulls back the curtain on the 950+ Colorado PGA of America Golf Professionals who serve as the community's glue.
This month we celebrate one of the most powerful embodiments of this mission, Jordan LeBlanc, PGA First Assistant Golf Professional at Buffalo Run. A former baseball player from New Orleans, LeBlanc’s journey into the industry began not as a pursuit of trophies, but as a search for "peace of mind" after his service in the U.S. Army ended in 2014. For Jordan, the golf course became a sanctuary where the discipline of military life met the quiet resilience of the game.
His transition from the barracks to the golf shop was fueled by a fascination with the connections he saw made between PGA of America Golf Professionals and their students. Today, he pays that inspiration forward. As a veteran, Jordan brings a unique empathy to his role, famously recalling a student who sat in his car for two weeks before finding the courage to join a session. "He told me he hadn't left his house in six months," Jordan remembers. "We might have saved his life that day."
Jordan’s story illustrates the core of #WeAreGolf: that golf is a universal language of recovery and belonging. Whether he is training hundreds of fellow professionals nationwide or leading a local team of veterans to the Secretary’s Cup, Jordan’s personal mission remains the same. He isn't just teaching a swing, he is proving that there is a greater sense of purpose and a community behind what is seen as just a “game”.
