Who we are
After 33 years of service to our country my wife and I searched for an avenue to continue to serve, with a mission statement of; giving back to those who have served our great nation. We decided on Fairways Fore Vets, a Golf instruction based venture, with all net proceeds being donated to local and national support organizations.
Eyeing a signature event, we partnered with a fellow veteran of over 30 years of service and a local, successful businessman to incorporate Fairways Fore Vets. Once incorporated, a fund raising event was established and the Gulf Coast Veterans Charity Golf Tournament, hosted by Fairways Fore Vets was born.
Our first tournament was held in '23, with over 120 participants. Over 25 local business and individuals helped through sponsorship, donations, and providing raffle and auction items. The event raised $10,000, which was donated to the Wounded Warriors Project.
So far in '24 over 30 lessons have been given with over $1,500 in donations being received. The date for our '24 tournament has been set and we encourage you to visit our Charity Tournament tab.
