What was simply meant as an article showing how golf makes a difference, while increasing awareness of Patriot Golf Day, has proven to be much more.


The article Patriot Golf Day was published a few days ago. Since that time, it has become amazingly popular compared to other Suite 101 Golf feature articles. To be sure, Patriot Golf Day, which is set for September 1, 2007, has received a lot of worldwide publicity. During this past weekend's PGA Championship, it was featured and mentioned several times, which has helped the article's popularity.

What is encouraging is that viewers of the PGA Championship heard about the event and cared enough to begin searching for more information. Given the present events occuring in this world, indeed to the good armed services men and women who fight to protect us from those who would do us harm, Patriot Golf Day is worthy of all the attention and support we can give. If the popularity of the Patriot Golf Day article is any indication, it will be an overwhelming success.

Readers of the article can donate directly and support the charities that will benefit from the event by visiting the websites therein mentioned (Fallen Heroes Foundation and Wounded Warriors, Inc.).

Patriot Golf Day was the brainchild of a soldier. It will benefit the families of soldiers who have been killed or wounded. If the event was a local one held for the benefit of local families, it would provide a huge help to a few people. Imagine the impact a nationwide event, involving every golfer at every course, can have on a comparatively few people who have lost someone dear to them.

Thanks for reading the article. Pass it along to others or direct them to where they can find information about Patriot Golf Day.
