DR Golf Academy 501(c)(3) Mission Statement:

DR Golf Academy is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the well-being of Veterans and Active Duty Military through the game of golf. Affiliated with the PGA of America, we lead, organize, and support programs such as PGA HOPE to provide valuable resources for Veterans, ensuring the continued strength of the Charlotte Veteran Community.

Details of Company Contributions for Veterans and Fund Allocation:

  • Organize the Charlotte PGA HOPE Chapters before and after the programming to maintain the Charlotte Veteran Community.

  • Lead Alumni PGA HOPE Veterans for the Board of Directors and Committees to fundraise for Veteran 501c3 programs such as PGA HOPE Charlotte and Veterans Go Outdoors.

  • Provide lessons and education from PGA Professionals (members & associates), with donations covering the $100 per hour fee for PGA Certified PGA HOPE professionals.

  • Ensure that Board of Directors and Committee members, who are Veterans, receive $100 per hour for their contributions to running and operations through donations.

Veterans who participate or interact with our programs or events are provided with access to resources from our primary partners: 

  • Bro Let’s Golf: Charlotte golf community who want to enjoy golf in a relaxed environment, focusing on fun rather than formal tournaments.

  • Cocoon Golf: Charlotte golf community for women, offering learning opportunities and women-only outings in a friendly, non-intimidating atmosphere. (Colleen)
