\"\"<\/a>If golf happens to be on your list of recreational activities during the extended weekend before us, you can perhaps make a dream a reality by sharing some green while on the greens.<\/p>\n

During the fourth annual Patriot Golf Day<\/a>, duffers of all skill levels (me…I’m like Happy Gilmore<\/a>) across the country are asked to add an extra dollar to their greens fees to fund Folds of Honor <\/a>scholarships.<\/p>\n

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Folds of Honor Foundation provides post secondary educational scholarships for the children and spouses of military men and women disabled or killed while serving in active duty.<\/p>\n

In case you are unfamiliar with this event, the inaugural Patriot Golf Day occurred on Labor Day 2007 by Major Dan Rooney, F-16 Pilot, PGA Professional, and USGA member. Rooney asked golfers to add $1 to their greens fees which resulted in donations of more than $1.1 million from more than 3,200 golf facilities. In the last three years, golfers nationwide have been instrumental in raising more than $5.3 million for the Folds of Honor Foundation.<\/p>\n

Higher education is arguably one of the hallmarks of the American dream…and the military men and women that served – many of them offering the ultimate sacrifice – did so to preserve that dream.<\/p>\n

$1 isn’t asking too much to help make that dream a reality and honor a noble cause…in fact…while you’re at it, make it $2 for good measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
