PATRIOT GOLF SCHOOL HELD IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA BENEFITED VETERANS
Scottsdale, AZ – The Patriot Golf Foundation, a non-profit organization headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, hosted a 1-Day Patriot Golf School at the JW Marriott Camelback Golf Club on February 20th, 2020.
Seven veterans representing the Air Force, Marine Corp, Army, and Navy spent the day with Master Instructors, Seth Glascoand Don Byus. A casual breakfast was followed by 3-hours of instruction including full swing, putting, chipping, and some bunker work. After a lunch break, the group hit the Padre Course for a 9-hole “Learn & Play” session taking advantage of their new knowledge and technique and applying it to on-course situations.
Seth Glasco, Founder and Director of Instruction for the Patriot Golf Schools remarked, “Talk about a rewarding day! We got to share our years of experience and love of the game with this fantastic group of individuals. Our students ranged from solid beginners to several that know their way around the golf course. By the time we finished the 9th hole, the amount of improvement that each of them displayed was impressive. Chalk it up to the focus and discipline they acquired during their years of service for our country.”
Overwhelmingly, the comments from the students keyed in on one valuable aspect, camaraderie. “I had so much fun. I never realized I could be good at golf! The instructors were so patient with all of us,” stated Lakia Lewis, a veteran of both the Army and Navy. “One of the things I walked away with is the camaraderie that I experienced after spending the day with my fellow veterans. We loved the time we had together. It was great.”
VetTix.org partnered with the Patriot Golf Foundation to use their platform of providing donated tickets, passes and special experiences for Veterans to allocate six of the spots for the participating veterans. The seventh veteran participant was Tony Miller, USAF Ret and Founder of American Heroes Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on helping military veterans and first responders.
