In golf, a recovery shot is a chance to overcome obstacles and get back in the game. Recovery Shot offers that same opportunity in life through free, on-course golf experiences for individuals recovering from injury, illness, or trauma, as well as those with special needs or abilities. More than a game, it’s a path to healing, confidence, and connection—helping players take their next shot in life.

Recovery Shots for Vets is a free therapeutic golf program for veterans facing physical injuries, trauma, or emotional challenges. Through clinics and long-term on-course play with a buddy, guided by PGA and PGA HOPE professionals, veterans find camaraderie, fellowship, and a renewed sense of community. Time on the course offers connection, laughter, and shared experience—creating space for healing in a safe and supportive environment. In 2026, our partnership with the Spanish Hills Club in Camarillo, CA will continue, alongside the launch of a new program at the Seabee Golf Course at Navy Base Port Hueneme, expanding access to the healing power of golf for many more veterans.

Now in its second year, Recovery Shot’s Youth Golf Program is broadening horizons for young players—one swing at a time. In partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Oxnard/Port Hueneme, we’ve introduced over 100 under-resourced kids, many with no previous access to the game, to the joy of golf. More than just a sport, golf teaches focus, patience, and perseverance, while building confidence, character, and a love for learning and play.
