At Warrior Golf Academy (WGA), we believe that one swing at a time can change a life.

In this short film, you’ll see more than just a veteran learning to play golf, you’ll witness a powerful moment of transformation. The clip captures what WGA is all about: finding healing, purpose, and community through the game of golf.

We started WGA because too many veterans return home struggling to find peace and direction. “22 a day” is more than a number, it’s a crisis. Our nonprofit exists to combat that crisis with a mission rooted in service, mentorship, and resilience. Golf became the medium because it demands focus, patience, and presence ; qualities that often fade after trauma but can be rebuilt through the game.

What makes WGA unique is our full-circle approach:

• Therapeutic Golf Instruction that prioritizes mindfulness, camaraderie, and purpose.

• Veteran and First Responder Certifications that lead to real career opportunities in golf operations, caddying, and turf management.

• Community Connection through events, clinics, and outreach across South Florida and beyond.

Golf teaches more than technique; it teaches trust, patience, and purpose. For veterans returning from service, those lessons can be life-changing.

In Season 11, Episode 58 of Next on the Tee, I had the opportunity to speak with host Chris Mascaro about my journey and why I founded Warrior Golf Academy (WGA). As an Army veteran, I know firsthand how hard transition can be. That’s why WGA was built, not just as a place to learn golf, but as a place to find healing, direction, and a new path forward.

🎯 In this episode, we cover:

• How Warrior Golf Academy uses golf as a form of therapy for veterans and first responders

• Our Caddie Training Program and how it's opening job pathways in the golf industry

• Why restoring clubs teaches discipline, attention to detail, and pride

• The power of community for combatting isolation, PTSD, and the loss of identity after service

Chris also speaks with Mike Malizia, a Top 100 Golf Magazine Instructor based at Admiral’s Cove in Jupiter, FL. Mike shares invaluable swing tips and insight into what makes Admiral’s Cove one of the most sought-after private clubs in the country.

This Christmas, meet the hero you didn’t know you needed, Mojo, a loyal service dog with a heart full of courage and a mission that will melt yours.

“Mojo’s Christmas Mission” is more than a story. It’s a reminder that love never gives up, and healing often begins with a paw on your lap.

🎄 The Story:

Pop is lost, not just physically, but emotionally. The weight of grief, trauma, and loneliness has taken its toll. But Mojo feels it. He sees what others miss. And when Christmas arrives, Mojo makes a choice, to leave the comfort of routine and begin a journey filled with snow-covered roads, kind strangers, and unwavering determination.

His mission?

To find Pop, bring him home, and remind him that he is never truly alone.

🐾 Why It Matters:

So many of our veterans and first responders face the holidays in silence, weighed down by invisible wounds. Mojo represents every service dog that provides comfort, stability, and connection when words fail. His mission mirrors our own, to never leave anyone behind.
