To the girl who will cheer the loudest for everyone else, who’s laugh you can hear from across the house, who’s kindness shines through everything she does, who’s the best sister a little brother could ever ask for, the fiercest friend, and truly the most incredible daughter… Happy 15th Birthday My Girl. To say we are proud doesn’t even begin to touch it. She’s amazing and the world is better because she’s in it ❤️ by @brianmackey85

Another incredible day spent with our amazing @pgahope family @ballenislescountryclub ❤️🇺🇸
The weather tried to put a damper on things, but this group said “No way! Let’s go!” … Grateful for the incredible facility we have at Ballenisles , allowing us to operate regardless of the weather conditions ❤️

So proud of our group and all of the coaches.
To see these brave people show up for themselves and each other every week is truly inspiring 🇺🇸🙏❤️

To all the Veterans out there, please consider PGA Hope! We are waiting , willing and ready for you!

To all my fellow @pga professionals , keep up the great work. If you are not yet certified, please do! If you’re not running a session, please do.

Saturdays @ballenislescountryclub are for HOPE ❤️ Helping.Our.Patriots.Everywhere❤️🇺🇸
Session #3 in the books, and what an incredibly beautiful day it was. We are working to build our confidence , not just in our swings, but more importantly in ourselves. The conversations, the camaraderie , the team…. The healing … It’s why we need these Saturdays, it’s why we need HOPE.
What an amazing group of people we get to work with every week. Can’t wait for next ❤️

To our heroes out there who haven’t signed up for @pgahope session, please consider it ❤️ We can’t wait to have you 🙏

If you’re a @pga professional and have not yet become hope certified, there’s no better time than now!
Truly impactful program and we need your help!

The importance of Veteran programming is paramount.
It’s more than just golf; It’s a new sense of purpose, a new group of friends, a new community …. A real community.

We need more opportunities for our heroes. Let’s get more @pga professionals certified for @pgahope and get more sessions open! One session can change a lot of lives, including your own.
Let’s get busy ❤️🇺🇸 taken in BallenIsles Country Club by @brianmackey85

Session #2 for our amazing @pgahope Veteran class @ballenislescountryclub . The respect and admiration I have for each and every member of this group that continue to show up for themselves and each-other is indescribable. The team was all smiles and filled with energy , as we are beyond excited for the opportunity to serve our Veterans.
We covered chipping, pitching and full swing. To say I’m proud of their poise, persistence and progress would be a massive understatement. They are truly my inspiration. As great as the golf is, it’s more about our time together ❤️

I miss them already and I can’t wait for next week! ❤️🇺🇸⛳️

To my team, thank you for showing up the way you do ❤️

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…..
Not in this scenario, not in this world, not in their worlds. Two warriors, two separate wars, two different generations , meeting for the first time. The sense of purpose, respect and appreciation in this handshake could teach us all something… I hope it does. It’s exactly what they needed in that moment. As they look into each other’s eyes, the stories tell themselves. It’s a look that only someone who’s done what they’ve done can understand.

Both came home from combat, but a piece of them will forever remain at war. The healing isn’t a calculated timeline or prescription , it’s a lifetime of effort and showing up.

God Bless our warriors. Not just for their courage on the battlefield , but for the measure of their resolve to feel enough and new purpose when they come home.

We all need to do better at hearing them and helping them heal. We owe it to them ❤️

Session #1 of our 6wk journey together @ballenislescountryclub for @pgahope 🇺🇸
TWENTY-FOUR incredible Veterans have made the decision to enroll to show up for themselves and each-other. I’m unable to express the immense sense of pride I have watching these heroes come together and bond over golf… and it’s only week 1! We as PGA Professionals are the lucky ones… the healing powers of golf are incredible ❤️ Let’s never forget that.
It’s our responsibility to serve those who served for us!
Thank you to my team of instructors @johnathongmcdonald @themichaelrbrooks 🙏 because of your commitment we could open the program to more Veterans ❤️ That’s more people touched, respected, heard and loved.
To the man who kept his word when he hired me and said “We WANT YOU TO DO THIS” , thank you @jefffitzherbert for your leadership, support and belief in our team ❤️🇺🇸

To the team from @southfloridapga , thank you for getting us going and bringing us all together ❤️

To ALL of my NJ Veteran family , let’s get your flights booked so we can get you front and center with your fellow Veterans and golfers ❤️❤️⛳️⛳️⛳️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It’s time to bring peace to our Veterans lives, and golf can help do that ❤️🇺🇸

Hey Dad, see what you started ? 🙏❤️
I love you so much @wayfmac taken in BallenIsles Country Club by @brianmackey85
