The Northern Ohio PGA will enhance the lives of Veterans and Active Duty Military in 2023 by hosting 11 PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) programs across Northern Ohio.
PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans and Active Duty Military to impact their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. The program introduces the game of golf through a developmental 6-8 week curriculum, led by PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency. All programs are funded by PGA REACH and supplemented by the Northern Ohio PGA Section Foundation.
All of these programs are FREE to all Veterans and Active Duty Military!
PGA HOPE in Northern Ohio was first started by Renee Powell, PGA/LPGA at Clearview Golf Club in East Canton, Ohio. Renee’s father, William Powell, decided to build his own place to play after encountering racial discrimination on the golf course when he returned home from serving in World War II. Renee carried on her father’s legacy of service to the country when she began a Women’s HOPE program at Clearview that has grown to help pave the way for all Veterans in Northern Ohio.
In 2023, 11 programs will help over 170 Veterans at the following locations: Clearview Golf Club, North Olmsted Golf Club, Mill Creek Metroparks Golf Course, Valley of the Eagles, The Golf Dome, Shawnee Hills Golf Course, Washington Park Golf Course, White Pines Golf Club, Windmill Golf Center, and Windmill Lakes Golf Course.
