NBC's Roger O'Neil will report tonight the story of a pro golfer helping disabled vets -- it's part of our "What Works" series.
The golfer featured tonight is part of a partnership program established by the PGA of America, Disabled Sports USA and the Department of Defense for severely wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. The PGA has coordinated a team of six PGA Professionals per city, who will instruct wounded warriors at sites near the three primary military hospitals - Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.; Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas; and Naval Medical Center San Diego in San Diego, Calif.
The program is a nationwide initiative involving both active duty and retired members of the Armed Forces who were severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Learn more about the program and find pro golfers instructing the disabled in your area.

Early Nightly is up
Thank you for some POSITIVE news. It's so great to see people being unselfish and not so caught up in themselves. I applaud this amn & all the others working with this project.

Sounds great. I wish there were more stories like this to report on. Thanks.

It is great that disabled vets are being taught to play golf. However, those who are mobility impaired and need an accessible golf cart will not be able to play the 150 golf courses on military bases. Congress required the Defense Department to report by April 16, 2007 on its plans to provide accessible golf carts and, so far, the Defense Department has not reported to Congress and the military golf courses will not be able to be used by the wounded veterans.
