Congratulations to the inaugural graduating class of amazing United States Veterans from @ballenislescountryclub ! The coaches were honored to stand beside our nation’s finest as they received their graduation certificates from @pgahope South Florida.
Couldn’t be more proud of how this class showed up for themselves and each other, week after week.
We must stand together , that’s when we all win.

Graduation day is always extremely emotional , and it should be…. Because it means more than golf.
The tears are real, and there were plenty… but they are the best kind of tears… those that express relief, gratitude, love, forgiveness and peace. What an honor and a privilege it has been to build that bond with this group and earn their trust.

BUT….. now the real work begins.
What happens after six weeks?…. My answer, graduation is not the end, quite frankly it’s just the beginning.
Now we call, we email, we check in, we play golf and we talk. We are building support for one another, not golf swings. This is where the magic of what golf does for the soul really shines. Stay in the game ❤️🇺🇸

To the team @ballenislescountryclub, God Bless you all and thank you for answering the call to serve those who have served for us ❤️🇺🇸 The passion and commitment to first class instruction and attention to detail, combined with your HUGE hearts made this program shine.
Thank you for your support, trust and belief in this program.

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!

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 ❤️

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
