Youth, Military & Inclusion
Our Mission
PGA REACH North Florida is a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation for the North Florida PGA. PGA REACH North Florida is dedicated to growing the game of golf and serving our local communities through, Youth, Military and Inclusion.
PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) introduces golf to Veterans and Active Duty Military to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. The program introduces the game of golf through a developmental 6-8 week curriculum, lead by PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency.
PGA WORKS is a strategic initiative committed to making golf look more like America through on-course and off-course opportunities.
YOUTH ON COURSE provides young people with access to life-changing opportunities through golf. Youth has access to play rounds of golf for $5 or less at thousands of golf courses in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.

PGA HOPE Veteran Impact Stories
"My favorite part was playing and being around other beginners. It was comfortable being supported and welcomed no matter how well you do." - Gabby Young, PGA HOPE Graduate
"Meeting all the wonderful people associated with PGA HOPE and fellow veterans was the best part and learn I really can play this game again after my 2017 Cancer diagnosis and treatments. I had become a couch potato after Covid-19, with no upper body strength since my treatments. I didn’t think I would ever be able to play golf again. Thank you all so much!!" - Lou Abbott, PGA HOPE Graduate
