"The Armed Forces Cup is a great way to celebrate Independence Day," said VGA President Dan Entwistle. "We're expecting a great turnout, and we're looking forward to a fun and competitive tournament."
In addition to the tournament, the VGA is also hosting a number of other events throughout the week leading up to the Armed Forces Cup. These events include a golf clinic for veterans, a meet-and-greet with the golfers, and a gala dinner.
"We're hoping to raise awareness for the VGA and the work that we do," said Entwistle. "We're also hoping to raise funds to support our programs for veterans."
The VGA is a non-profit organization that provides golf instruction, tournaments, and other programs to veterans. The VGA's mission is to help veterans improve their physical and mental well-being through golf.
"Golf is a great way for veterans to connect with other veterans and to get some exercise," said Caley. "It's also a great way to relax and de-stress."
The VGA has over 100 chapters across the United States. The organization offers a variety of programs for veterans, including golf instruction, tournaments, and peer support groups.
"The VGA has been a great resource for me," said Peyton. "I've met some great people through the VGA, and I've learned a lot about golf."
The Armed Forces Cup is a great opportunity to support the VGA and the work that they do. The tournament is also a great way to celebrate Independence Day and to honor the men and women who have served our country.
