We are proud to share that Heritage Palms hosted its spring PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) program from May 1 to June 5, offering six weeks of complimentary golf instruction for our local military Veterans. Each week included two hours of coaching from PGA-certified professionals, including Allen Manguson, Pete Rocheford, Mike Dopslaff, and me.
We welcomed 15 veterans to the program—and we’re thrilled to report that all 15 completed the course and graduated! The final session on June 5 featured a fun 90-minute scramble on the course, followed by a graduation ceremony where each veteran received a certificate of completion, a gift bag, and a celebratory meal.
This incredible experience was made possible thanks to the generous support of the PGA South FL Section and a heartfelt donation from our own Heritage Palms Veterans Association.
We look forward to continuing this impactful initiative with our Fall PGA HOPE program, which begins September 11 and runs through October 16.
