The PGA of America has partnered with Disabled Sports USA and the Department of Defense to sponsor a program for severely wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. The PGA of America will coordinate a team of six PGA Professionals per city, who will become instructors for wounded warriors at sites near the nation’s three primary military hospitals - Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.; Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas; and Naval Medical Center San Diego in San Diego, Calif.
This program is a nationwide initiative that will involve both active duty and retired men and women of the Armed Forces who were severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The aim is to demonstrate value in golf as a sport for rehabilitation and fulfilling recreational pursuit.
