The inaugural Patriot Golf Day in has been started by Major Dan Rooney, Founder of the Folds of Honor Foundation, F-16 Pilot, PGA Professional, and USGA member. On Labor Day 2007 Rooney requested golfers to put $1 to his or her greens fees. His request resulted in charitable contributions of more than $1.1 million from more than 3,200 golf establishments. In the last three years, golfers across the country have been recently instrumental in boosting more than $5.3 million by way of Patriot Golf Day occasions.

We have made incredible strides towards democracy, but it has required great sacrifice. To date, nearly 85,000 U.S. military loved ones have had a parent or even spouse slain or handicapped in procedures in Iraq and Afghanistan. To help repay those men and women in uniform for their sacrifice, we are gearing up for a different operation: Patriot Golf Day 2010. Golf Courses across America will unite on Labor Day Weekend (September 3-6) to raise scholarship dollars for our military family members. In 2008 nearly 4,000 courses participated. Our objective in 2010 is 5,000. We are on our way with sign ups coming in every day.
