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. 

“An opportunity to develop golf skills while meeting Veterans and establishing new relationships. PGA HOPE gave a feeling of having camaraderie with other Veterans.”

-Andrew Grubbe

“It is an organization that services Veterans with a sense of community, fellowship, caring, and camaraderie. PGA HOPE gives a Veteran an opportunity to learn golf. With this social interaction as a Veteran, you feel seen and heard.”
