This event was founded by two West Point alumni – Mark Morasky and Jay O’Neil, executives with Merrill Lynch, Walnut Creek – in an effort to give back to their fellow Veterans.    

PGA HOPE is a therapeutic program designed to aid in the physical, emotional, and psychological rehabilitation process for disabled Veterans through the social interaction the game of golf provides.  PGA HOPE is the only adaptive sports program led by PGA professionals certified in adaptive golf instruction for Veterans with varying levels of disabilities and acts in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. 

Better than me trying to tell you about the program, click here to hear Master’s Champion Jack Nicklaus who is a supporter/sponsor of the program nationwide.
