At a recent event at FDR Park, the powerful notes of the Star Spangled Banner set the tone for a day dedicated to honoring and supporting local veterans. The Philadelphia chapter of the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) hosted a special golf clinic aimed at helping veterans find healing and camaraderie through the sport. The event brought together veterans from across the region, offering them not only a chance to learn golf skills but also to connect with others who share similar experiences.
Organizers emphasized the therapeutic benefits of golf, highlighting how the game can help veterans manage stress and build confidence as they transition back to civilian life. PGA professionals volunteered their time to provide instruction and encouragement, while local businesses contributed equipment and refreshments. The event was met with gratitude from participants, many of whom expressed appreciation for the sense of community and hope fostered by the initiative.
