"I have experienced incredible healing from my involvement with Tee It Up for the Troops. As a combat veteran who sustained multiple traumatic brain injuries in Afghanistan, this organization is helping myself and other soldiers heal and find peace.
I had an amazing opportunity at their REUNION event reuniting with my battle buddy and engaging in great fellowship on and off the course. Seeing the release of burdens and bottled up pain through sharing and inspirational sessions was magic!
Tee It Up for the Troops has inspired me to pursue golf as a profession and I’m working to become a PGA Teaching Professional so I can help other veterans experience the same healing through golf that I have. I also serve fellow veterans through involvement in the George W. Bush Institute's Military Service Initiative. Thank you Tee It Up for the Troops for helping me to move forward!”
