Finley Golf Pros Play Marathon To Support Military Families
May 16, 2022 | General
Folds Of Honor And PGA HOPE Provide Scholarships
The golf professionals at UNC Finley Golf Course will be playing multiple rounds the week before and through Memorial Day to benefit Patriot Golf Days, which provides funds to veterans and members of their families through two PGA of America charitable endeavors, Folds of Honor and PGA HOPE.
"Our staff is looking forward to supporting Patriot Golf Days again this year," says head professional Frank Maynard. "UNC Finley has supported this program for more than 10 years. We are excited to help veterans and provide family members of the military with educational opportunities."
Folds of Honor is a PGA-founded charitable initiative started by Dan Rooney, a former fighter pilot and lieutenant colonel, who like Maynard served on the Carolinas PGA Reach Committee. PGA Reach is the fundraising arm of PGA of America, which encompasses military golf, diversity and inclusion and junior golf and part of military golf is Folds of Honor and PGA Hope.
Last June, Maynard played 126 holes in one day at Finley, raising more than $19,000 for the Folds of Honor program, which provides scholarships for the children of military.
This year UNC Finley staff including Director of Golf Michael Wilkinson, Maynard, Robert Costa, Tyler Currin and Patrick Cannon will team up with local golfers to play hundreds of holes over a weeklong golf marathon.
