Help an Army Vet Build a Golf Sanctuary for Everyone!

Donation protected
Hey, I’m Joshua, an Army veteran who found my soul on the fairways, and I’m dead-set on building a public 9-hole golf course that welcomes every duffer, beginner, and slow swinger like me. This isn’t just a course—it’s a community haven where golf’s magic brings folks together, and I need your support to make it happen.
Why this matters: Golf was my lifeline after the Army, a place to trade chaos for calm, one swing at a time. I’m pouring that love into a course for everyone—vets, families, kids, anyone who’s ever chased a ball and a dream across the grass.
What we’re building: A 9-hole course with a practice green and a small clubhouse for community events, built smart with eco-friendly touches like water-saving turf and solar-powered carts. Your donations will fund the first steps—land deposits, design plans, and breaking ground.
Why back me?
• Vet-Driven Heart: As an Army vet, I’m channeling my grit into a course that’s a love letter to golf and community. Your support builds a legacy for anyone who finds peace in the game.
• Community Boost: This course will spark jobs, draw visitors, and host gatherings like junior camps and vet meetups. Every dollar creates a local heartbeat, not just a scorecard.
• Green Design: With sustainable turf and low-impact tech, we’re sidestepping golf’s environmental critics. Your gift proves golf can be green and welcoming.
• For Every Golfer: Built for slower swings like mine, with shorter holes and forgiving fairways, this course invites all, not just pros. Your backing makes golf open to everyone.
How your money helps:
• $25 buys grass seed for the practice green.
• $100 funds a solar cart charger.
• $500 covers permitting fees.
• $1,000+ pushes us toward securing the land.
The goal: $10M to kick off land deposits and initial designs. It’s a big swing, but together, we can make this golf sanctuary real. Share this on X, spread the word, and let’s build something epic. Join me on the fairway
