Golf for Injured Veterans Everywhere Marks Nearly Two Decades of Support

News Summary

The GIVE Foundation has dedicated nearly 20 years to aiding injured and disabled veterans in embracing golf. Founded by a WWII veteran, the organization offers free training, golf equipment, and a supportive community, allowing veterans and their partners to bond while learning the sport. With access to free golf courses and expert instructors, the foundation fosters healing, camaraderie, and competition through various programs, helping veterans thrive both on and off the green.

Golf for Injured Veterans Everywhere: Nearly 20 Years of Support

The GIVE Foundation, a beacon of hope for injured and disabled veterans, has spent nearly two decades helping those who served our country embrace the game of golf. Founded in 2007 by a valiant World War II veteran, this organization provides more than just golf lessons; it offers a community where veterans can heal, connect, and thrive.

A Unique Five-Week Training Course

The foundation’s flagship program includes a five-week training course led by professional PGA instructors, catering not only to veterans but also to their partners. This innovative approach allows service members to bond with loved ones while learning the skills of the game. The GIVE Foundation believes in providing all the necessary tools for these participants, which means free golf equipment and access to prestigious golf courses like Blue Top Ridge, all at no or reduced costs.

A Strong Community of Support

What makes the GIVE Foundation truly special is its emphasis on community and healing. Veterans, like Kevin Willis, who went through the program in the summer of 2021, have felt this sense of brotherhood firsthand. After serving as a staff sergeant in the Army and being stationed in both Saudi Arabia and Germany, Willis had to face challenges due to injuries that cut his service short. Now, he’s giving back by volunteering at GIVE events, reinforcing that bond between veterans while distributing golf equipment to fellow participants.

Access to Free Golf Courses

That’s right! Participants can enjoy the game for free at select courses, including Blue Top Ridge and Lacoma Golf Club in East Dubuque. This incredible opportunity allows veterans to play without financial strain and join in the fun that golf brings. With each swing, they’re not just swinging clubs; they’re reinforcing a sense of camaraderie built on shared experiences.

Expert Instruction from Veterans

Leading the charge in these training sessions is Mike Armes, an Army veteran who has devoted his teaching expertise to helping those with various disabilities learn the joys of golf. Whether it’s supporting veterans with quadriplegia, blindness, or paralysis, Armes strives to create an enjoyable and therapeutic atmosphere. The training sessions can feel like more than just lessons—they’re described as a therapy session with a little bit of golf thrown in. This nurturing environment allows veterans to open up and share their experiences, creating a much-needed supportive space.

Events and Tournaments

The GIVE Foundation is not all about training. It hosts seasonal tournaments at Blue Top Ridge for veterans and donors alike. These events are a celebration of the progress and friendships formed through golf, providing a platform for veterans to connect with one another in a relaxed yet competitive setting. Families are often involved in these activities, further enriching the supportive network that the GIVE Foundation promotes.

Reaching Beyond Borders

Though concentrated in various VA regions like Iowa City, Des Moines, and Sioux City, the impact of the GIVE program has inspired broader initiatives like the PGA’s Helping Our Patriots Everywhere (HOPE). This shows just how influential and necessary organizations like GIVE are for veterans across the nation. They are truly committed to expanding golf opportunities for those who have served, breaking down barriers, and fostering community on a larger scale.

Conclusion: A Legacy of Healing

As the GIVE Foundation approaches two decades of service, their mission to provide healing through golf continues to flourish. With expert instructors, supportive programs, and a welcoming community, veterans are finding joy not only in the game but in the relationships they build with one another. It is a thrilling ride of healing, camaraderie, and excitement—one swing at a time.
