At Warrior Golf Academy, we’ve always believed that golf is more than a game. It’s a way back. Back to connection. Back to confidence. Back to the parts of ourselves we thought we lost.
That’s why I’m so proud to share something incredibly meaningful to me. We’ve officially partnered with Strokes ‘N’ Drivers in Fort Lauderdale to create something truly special for veterans and first responders.
This isn’t just another location. This is a home. A place where those who have served can swing a club, share a laugh, and be surrounded by people who truly understand.
A Space Built on Purpose
Golf saved me when I needed it most. It gave me structure, calm, and community when I felt disconnected from everything else. Now, together with the team at Strokes ‘N’ Drivers, we’re making sure that space exists for others too.
Here’s what this partnership brings to life:
-
Indoor golf clinics with PGA professionals
-
Swing sessions and mentoring in a safe, supportive environment
-
Wellness-focused programming for mental clarity and emotional healing
-
A space to compete, grow, and most importantly, belong
This is more than just a simulator lounge. It’s a place where warriors can take a breath and remember who they are.
Why This Matters
So many of us carry invisible weight. Some days it’s hard to even show up. But when you’re holding a club and surrounded by people who get it, something shifts.
Golf becomes the entry point for healing. For conversation. For hope.
This partnership means more veterans will have access to that experience. They’ll find a team again. They’ll rediscover their strengths. And they’ll know they’re not alone.
How You Can Be Part of It
We can’t do this without you. Here are a few simple ways to get involved:
-
Play a round at Strokes ‘N’ Drivers. A portion of each session supports our programs.
-
Sponsor a lesson for a veteran. Your gift gives someone a chance to reconnect.
-
Join us at upcoming tournaments and events.
-
Invite a veteran you know to come try golf with us. That first visit might change everything.
Every action helps. Every swing matters.
From My Heart to Yours
To the incredible team at Strokes ‘N’ Drivers, thank you for seeing the value in this mission. Your energy and heart are already making a difference.
To my fellow veterans and first responders in South Florida: this is your space. You’re welcome here exactly as you are. Whether you’re brand new to golf or just haven’t swung a club in a while, we’re here for you.
Let this be your starting line. A place to feel grounded again, to smile, to heal, and to grow.
You're not in this alone. And you never were.
With respect and purpose,
Jonathan Sessa
