Anyone playing golf at a state park golf course will be able to voluntarily donate $1 to Wounded Warriors, Inc., which will also benefit the Fallen Heroes Foundation. Patriot Golf Day has the backing of the United States Golf Association and the PGA of America.
Patriot Golf Day is the brainchild of Dan Rooney, a 34-year-old USGA and PGA member who has served two tours of duty in Iraq as an F-16 fighter pilot. He got the idea as a way to remember those who have died in military service.
