5th Annual Healing Through Golf Tournament
Category: Events
Wednesday Oct 14, 2026

At this week's VOB Roundtable we met Cricket Wheeler of Recovery Shot, a Ventura County nonprofit doing great work for veterans through golf.

 

Their Recovery Shots for Vets program is completely free. Veterans dealing with PTSD, injury or other service-related challenges get clinics and on-course play with a PGA HOPE pro at the Seabee Golf Course in Port Hueneme. Graduates then earn 24 rounds with a buddy at Spanish Hills Club. No golf experience needed.

 

Their 5th Annual Healing Through Golf Tournament is Monday, October 26 at Spanish Hills Club in Camarillo, and proceeds fund these programs. If you're in Southern California and like a good cause with your golf, this one is worth your time. Sponsoring a foursome is also a great way to send four veterans out to play.
