— Oakland to participate in Patriot Golf Day

OAKLAND — The Oakland Golf Club will participate in the fourth annual Patriot Golf Day, a joint initiative of The PGA of America and the United States Golf Association.

Golfers across the country and at Oakland Golf Club have the opportunity to donate an additional $1 or more to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation (FoldsofHonor.org), which provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our nation. Oakland Golf Club will request at least an additional $1 for each green fee that is processed Sept. 3-6.  

“This is a great way for the golf industry to help the families of those who have lost their lives or have been injured so that we may have our freedom,” said PGA Professional Patrick Warren of Oakland Golf Club. “This is a wonderful opportunity for golfers in our community to give back to those who have given everything.”

Through events across the country since 2007, PGA Professionals have helped raise more than $5.3 million, allowing the Folds of Honor Foundation to award 1,163 post-secondary educational scholarships.

Major Dan Rooney, a PGA Professional, USGA member and F-16 military pilot with the Oklahoma Air National Guard, founded the Folds of Honor Foundation following his second of three tours of duty in Iraq.
