PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of the PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America. PGA HOPE introduces golf to active-duty military and military veterans to enhance their physical, social, mental and emotional well-being.
Gateway PGA HOPE Programs are 6-8 week golf-development programs taught by local PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf techniques for working with veterans with disabilities. The programs are free to all active duty military and military veterans.
