Getting Started with pga hope
Getting Started with pga hope
After you have registered for PGA HOPE, the Lead PGA Professional will reach out to you with more details regarding their specific program. These details could be anything from special reminders, what to bring with you, or simply just a welcoming note. All PGA HOPE programs are fully funded by the Northern Texas PGA Foundation, so there's no cost to any Veteran participating.
WHAT TO BRING
WHAT TO BRING
The beauty behind PGA HOPE is you truly can come as yourself – whether you have played golf some or are brand to the game – this is a program for Veterans of all backgrounds and abilities. No gear is required to participate in PGA HOPE, however, if you do have golf clubs or other equipment that will help you please bring it along to your program.
Concluding PGA HOPE
Concluding PGA HOPE
PGA HOPE is a six-week-long curriculum designed to get you started in the game of golf so you can enjoy it for a lifetime. Every program ends with what we call a Graduation – a celebration of everyone who has gone through the PGA HOPE Journey. Typically, a Graduation will consist of a six- or nine-hole scramble followed by a ceremony to recognize those who have completed the program.
WHAT's next?
WHAT's next?
Golf is a lifelong sport, meaning you can pick it up at any age and continue that journey with the game. Your Lead PGA Instructors know this and want you to experience all the goodness that can come from the game. As you transition out of the PGA HOPE Program, you get to be a part of a larger HOPE Family where you will connect with Veterans, golf leagues and other perks of being a PGA HOPE Graduate. Be sure to talk to your Lead Instructor about what this looks like for you!
