Golf Industry Gives Back

The video below highlights one of several programs for wounded veterans that are supported by the major golf club manufacturers. These really are terrific programs and its worth taking a closer look below. Some highlights:

• Ping currently has a program of setting up wounded veterans where they receive golf lessons and a free set of custom fit golf clubs.
• Callaway has donated $5 million in golf equipment to 250 military bases through Phil Mickelson's involvement in the Birdies for the Brave program, says Tim Buckman, senior director of global communications.
• TaylorMade also has played a big role in the effort to bring golf to injured veterans in the San Diego area. The company donates equipment and instruction to the San Diego-based program Operation Game On! The program, organized by Tony Perez, the father of PGA Tour pro Pat Perez.
