PGAHOPENationalGolf&WellnessWeek

PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week (NG&WW) will occur at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, from October 9–14. The event is hosted by the PGA of AMERICA REACH FOUNDATION.

PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week (NG&WW) is a unique opportunity for Veterans who are motivated to excel in their personal rehabilitation journey and represent their local PGA HOPE community on a national level.

Over four days in Washington D.C., 20 PGA HOPE graduates who have been nominated by PGA Professionals from their home PGA HOPE programs will receive a tool kit of new skills focused on advanced golf instruction and impactful wellness training. This curriculum is an extension of what Veterans have been learning throughout the years at their home PGA HOPE programs.

At the conclusion of the event, the 20 PGA HOPE graduates become PGA HOPE Ambassadors, and when they return to their home programs, they will have new responsibilities to help foster the game of golf through the PGA HOPE Program.

Carolinas Strong – these aren’t just words; they’re a promise. In times of hardship, we lift each other up. Hurricane Helene has left countless families without homes, food, or basic necessities. Our friends, neighbors, and fellow community members are hurting and need us.

In partnership with the American Red Cross and the PGA Medical and Disaster Relief Fund, the Carolinas PGA is stepping up to help those in desperate need. Many of our PGA family members are displaced, unsure of what tomorrow holds. This is where we can all come in and show what Carolinas Strong truly means. Imagine losing everything. Imagine a community that steps in –providing food, shelter, water, and hope when it feels like there’s none left. That’s who we are. Our goal is to raise $10,000. Every dollar you give will be split between the American Red Cross and the PGA Disaster Relief Fund, bringing immediate help to those affected.

Let’s Show Our Strength Together

.

Your donation can help a family rebuild and provide warmth, nourishment, and hope. Please, if you can, donate today and share this message far and wide. Let’s show that the Carolinas don’t just endure—the Carolinas rise, stronger than before.

The Club Car CPGA Pro-Official Championship was originally scheduled to take place on Sept. 30th at the Country Club of Asheville. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the staff and membership of CC of Asheville, as well as others in need in western North & South Carolina during this unimaginable tragedy. The tournament has been rescheduled to Providence Country Club in Charlotte, NC on October 21st. We have transitioned this event into a relief effort and encourage everyone to participate in this meaningful cause. The PGA REACH Carolinas Foundation is actively seeking financial donations that will be split between the Red Cross and PGA Disaster Relief Fund.

Please use the link below to donate, or send checks made out to “PGA REACH Carolinas Foundation” with "Hurricane Helene Relief" in the memo to:

PGA REACH Carolinas Foundation

Attn: Hurricane Relief 6271 Bryan Park Road, Browns Summit, NC 27214

Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. God bless!!

The section will exclusively use the FLASH WEATHER AI platform dashboard this season. We have tested its functionality and accuracy for the past two months during the recent lightning storms. The weather this first quarter is different; it has an attitude. Please take a look at this information carefully, click through to check out the video, and request a demo for your facility.

This is a next-level dashboard and notifications system to keep your staff and membership safe and dialed in.
