After the incredible success of our first outing, Golf Fore Good is back for another round in 2025. Last year, we raised over $17,000 for spinal cord injury research, and this year, we’re aiming to go even bigger.
This event started as a personal response to my mom’s spinal stroke in 2023. But what began as a way to support her quickly opened my eyes to a much larger community of friends, neighbors, and families who’ve quietly been navigating the challenges of spinal cord injuries for years. Spinal cord injury research doesn’t receive nearly enough funding and depends heavily on private donations to move forward. Without that support, important medical progress slows down, leaving many individuals and families still waiting for better treatment options or even hope for a cure.
Golf Fore Good is about doing our part to help move that progress forward. Every dollar raised after event costs goes directly to spinal cord injury research through our foundation partner — helping to fund studies, clinical trials, and the kind of breakthroughs that can change lives.
Whether you’re golfing, sponsoring, donating, volunteering, or just spreading the word, thank you for being part of this day.

Nestled in the picturesque Vernon Valley, Great Gorge spans 500 acres of preserved natural beauty, offering stunning views and challenging terrain. Designed by George Fazio in 1970 for Hugh Hefner's Great Gorge Playboy Club, it promises an unforgettable golfing experience with its scenic vistas and strategic layout.
Each team consists of four players.
On each hole, all team members tee off, and the best drive is selected.
All players then move to the location of the chosen drive and play their second shot from there.
This process continues for each subsequent shot until the ball is holed.
Each player must have a minimum number of drives used during the round (e.g., three drives per player).
The team's score for the hole is the best score among the shots taken from the chosen ball's location.
This process repeats for all 18 holes.
Awards will be given out to Lowest Score, Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, and Highest Score

Join us in driving progress and changing lives. By choosing the donation option, your contribution will be directly forwarded to Wings for Life's spinal cord injury research. The difference between donating and sponsoring is that your donation does not go towards any event costs, and will be added to the final proceeds donated. Every contribution is pooled and provided in full to Wings for Life at the conclusion of our event.
Since the Redbull company covers all administrative costs for Wings for Life this allows them to put 100% of the donated funds towards spinal chord research and human clinical trials. Seriously...look it up, it's pretty damn amazing.
