The Operation: Hero Challenge is an event created with a goal of raising money to support our PGA HOPE programs in Michigan and foster new locations as we continue expanding our effort of growing the game of golf and serving our Veteran population. Two PGA HOPE Graduates will team up to compete in a 2-man best ball scramble along with a skills competition during the round that features the three fundamental skills utilized in golf: driving, chipping, and putting. 

“The impact has been that I have made a few new friends, and get to look forward to continuing to play and see them in the future. I chose to participate in the challenge because I appreciated my opportunity with PGA HOPE so much, that I want to help in some small way to allow other Veterans the same opportunity. It’s also a great opportunity to meet more Veterans.”

“PGA HOPE came at a time when I needed help to overcome my physical challenges, and improve my mental, and emotional state through the camaraderie of other Veterans. The program has led me to a more positive outlook in life.”
