Under captain Barry Friedman, PGA, Team Northern Ohio brings 12 PGA HOPE veterans from the Northern Ohio PGA Section to the tee. These warriors have served their country and now compete for Ohio glory.
“This team represents everything PGA HOPE stands for — golf has the power to restore, inspire, and unite those who have served our great nation.”
Under Captain Ian Ziska, PGA, playing on home turf at American Dunes Golf Club, Team Michigan's 12 veterans are battle-tested, golf-ready, and hungry for the inaugural Great Lakes Valor Cup trophy. Home-field advantage is real.
“Playing at American Dunes is a privilege for any golfer. For veterans competing in a competition that honors our service — it means everything.”
Every one of these 24 veterans put up $210 of their own money. The $5,000 pot goes to the winning team's Folds of Honor chapter — funding scholarships for military families who need it most. Your sponsorship doesn't fund the pot. It honors what these veterans are doing and helps build something big enough to last.
