The inaugural Patriot Golf Day was held September 1, 2007 and
resulted in nationwide 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
through Patriot Golf Day events.
Patriot Golf Day was inspired by Major Dan Rooney, a PGA
Professional and USGA member from Broken Arrow, Okla. Rooney served
three tours of duty in Iraq as an F-16 pilot in the
125th Fighter Squadron of the Oklahoma Air National
Guard.
