The Middle Atlantic Section’s 2024 PGA HOPE schedule featured more than 60 events across 28 golf facilities throughout the region, including D.C., Maryland and Virginia, that connected the game with over 1,100 military Veterans.
“We are very proud of the continued growth and impact PGA HOPE has made throughout the Middle Atlantic region, as it’s a unique program that uses golf to change lives and, in some instances, save the lives of our Veterans,” says Jon Guhl, Executive Director, Middle Atlantic PGA. “Thanks to dedicated PGA of America Professionals who work closely with our amazing military Veterans, PGA HOPE provides a lasting, meaningful experience for these American heroes to utilize golf as a means of rehabilitation and fun.”
PGA HOPE Programs in 2024 took place under the direction of PGA of America Golf Professionals at golf facilities through the Middle Atlantic region starting in April and running through the fall golf season.
PGA HOPE is currently being offered at more than 350 locations in the U.S., across 46 states and 40 PGA of America Sections.
PGA HOPE, the flagship military program of PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America, is a national program that introduces golf to Veterans and active-duty military to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being through a six- to eight-week developmental curriculum taught by PGA of America Golf Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency.
