BRIDGING THE MILITARY-CIVILIAN DIVIDE
ONE GOLF OUTING AT A TIME
At Fore Country, we believe the life-long sport of golf can bring together our Special Operations Forces (SOF) and the public whom they serve.
The civilian-military gap is continuing to widen. We are committed to bringing both service members and civilians together on the golf course to provide purposeful opportunities by connecting SOF Warriors and their families with the civilian community through meaningful engagement and bonding. We believe bringing Americans together will strengthen, recruit and retain our SOF Warriors.
HOW IT WORKS
SOF Warriors are paired with civilian neighbors in a foursome for golf. Fore Country helps facilitate the outing by working with the golf course or country club.
1. OVERVIEW
Prior to the scheduled golf outing, a Fore Country Ambassador will provide an overview to the participants.
2. GOLF OUTING
The team is primed with background information on their pairing partners and the team bonds naturally over 18 holes.
3. FOLLOW UP
Professional network to teach, coach, and mentor. Lasting friendship, future employment or recruiting opportunity.
Our military doesn’t have a visibility problem, it has a conversational disconnect with civilians.
"While the American public has faith in the efficacy of our military, they feel little to no personal connection with it."
Mark Stejbach, BioTech Industry Consultant
“You can’t help but be impressed by the character of the special operators and the responsibilities they have. We greatly enjoyed playing some golf, having some laughs, and making some new friends.”
Jody Yates, Pinehurst Member
“Thank you, Fore Country, for the opportunity to help and encourage our Special OP’s soldiers in the community. It was an amazing experience connecting with the troops over a round of golf.”
Army Green Beret
“I'm not a golfer, so I wasn't sure what to expect when Fore Country set me up with a game and matched me with local business leaders. Right away we were all just having a great time and building great community mentors and friends.”
