“I have been given the opportunity to learn the game of golf, under the guidance of highly qualified pros. I am learning this great game with fellow veterans who are like extended family to me. I have also learned that the game of golf can be therapeutic to those who are serious about it. I am extremely grateful for those who make themselves available to assist veterans in becoming great golfers and functional individuals in the world, all while doing so within a community. Many thanks, Vets Whole in One!”

- Thomas, US Navy

“The golfing has been a real gift. I love the game and I am still learning and trying to get better.  Vet hole in one has given me the opportunity to do that. Stopped playing in my addiction and I realize that I can get back to the things I enjoy instead of getting high.”

- Joey Urrea, US Army

“Vets Whole in One has helped me with building a team. Teaching me to stay calm. Breathe. It has relaxed me. I’ve noticed that since I have started, I am not as angry.”

- Denver Morris, US Marines

“I am a Navy Combat Vet IRAQ/ Afghanistan who served eight years. I met Jim Dennerline in 2013 when I was working at the heroes golf course as a greens keeper. I wanted to find a way to give back to my fellow veterans. When Jim founded Vets Whole In One, I jumped at the chance to be a part of the program. I have the opportunity to help my brothers and sisters learn this game that I love so much. The clinics and tournaments have been an amazing success since its inception. I was honored when Jim asked me to be an advisor and swing coach to the board of directors. It is a very rewarding experience for me and I look forward to the program growing by leaps and bounds in the days to come!”

- Danny Saez, US Navy

“Vets Whole in One has made me realize the importance of playing golf as a way to reconnect with brothers -in-arms. When I started three years ago, it was a time in my life when I had few, if no, peers. So reconnecting with brothers, although all younger than I, has given me a new outlook on life. Those I play golf with are my beautiful connection to a new group of comrades. This has given me a new opportunity to enjoy my later years.”

- Larry Manzo, US Navy

“I have been to three Vets Whole in One events. I am amazed as to how well things are organized and the warmth and friendliness that has been extended to me. The comrades I have met, the prizes I have won, and the lunches I enjoyed. To top this all off, I get to play golf with a great group of Veterans.”
