Norton, MA — Underscoring the PGA TOUR’s “Together, anything’s possible” charitable mission, the TOUR’s Birdies for the Brave military outreach initiative will join with non-profit Golf For All to host a golf clinic for veterans as well as individuals with autism spectrum disorders and others facing physical, emotional and cognitive challenges. 

The clinic will take place on the practice facility at TPC Boston in Norton on Monday, August 28, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. during tournament week of the TOUR’s Dell Technologies Championship.

Prior to the golf clinic, beginning at 4:30 p.m., paraplegic golfer and trick shot artist Dennis Walters will present a motivational golf exhibition accompanied by his canine companion, Super Dog Bucky. 

In 1974, Walters was a professional golfer with aspirations to play on the PGA TOUR when a golf cart accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. Walters is one of only 11 honorary lifetime members of the PGA of America.  In 2008, the PGA of America presented him with its highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award.

“We are honored to work with Birdies for the Brave to help Boston-area individuals with cognitive and physical challenges enjoy the therapeutic benefits of golf through this clinic – especially our courageous American heroes, who have sacrificed so much in service to our country,” said Golf For All Co-Founder Fred Corcoran.

Following the Dennis Walters Golf Show, the hands-on golf clinic will be led by Golf For All Head Golf Professional Bob Beach, a recipient of the PGA of America’s 2013 Patriot Award.
