Social Media Recap: 13th Annual Patriot Golf Day Celebrated Nationwide

Published on Tuesday, September 8, 2020

The 13th Annual Patriot Golf Day honored the sacrifice of our nation’s military heroes across America Labor Day Weekend (Fri.-Mon., Sept. 4-7), by raising awareness and scholarship funds for the families of fallen and wounded Veterans.

Serving as “the most heroic round of golf you will ever play,” Patriot Golf Day began as a grassroots fundraising initiative over Labor Day Weekend in 2007, with golfers nationwide encouraged to add an extra dollar to their green fees to fund Folds of Honor scholarships. Over the last 13 years, the effort has grown to encompass onsite donation boxes, a variety of fundraising events, tournaments and golf marathons led by PGA Professionals and golfers nationwide.

Check out some of the highlights of the nationwide event posted to social media below!

That’s 190 holes and over $115K raised for @FoldsofHonor for my man Billy Sampson Sunday at Old Tabby Links. Go Billy, go. #PatriotGolfDay pic.twitter.com/rXtoZn30Eq

Not a bad day for golf! 🏌️

Also not bad is a special event taking place @ThornberryCreek. It’s @PatriotGolfDay1, the largest fundraiser for @FoldsofHonor. The nonprofit offers educational scholarships to those families of America’s service members. #Local5ThisMorning pic.twitter.com/yb8Xs4oEwM

Another successful #patriotgolfday weekend @treetopsmich Had a great time with the crew and there was some amazing golf mixed with some golf that was better off left up north. It’s still an event that should be experienced by anyone whether they love golf or not. Thanks to @jasonleek30 for raising money for @foldsofhonor and to everyone who contributed to his cause. #foldsofhonor #treetopsgolf #michigangolf #untilnextyear
