Happy 4th of July: Help Support Our Troops

William Wolfrum over at World Golf is putting the word out about a program to donate golf equipment, balls and accessories to our troops overseas. Sounds like a great and worthy cause.

Golfers, it’s time we put our money, and golf gear, where our mouths are.

I’ve previously written about a couple of organizations that have done just that –the Evansville (Ind.) City Council and Kyle Taylor of USAGolf in Lawrence, Kansas. They, and others like them have donated golf balls and golf gear to U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and around the globe.

Recently, I was contacted by Jim Best of The Best Balls. Having read the posts, Jim generously offered 10,000 golf balls to be shipped overseas.

With the help of the North Carolina Branch of Give 2 the troops, we’ll get these balls to a bunch of brave men and women, who truly appreciate the diversion.

“The golf clubs are VERY popular and with the many military bases in N.C., the troops are all going to be playing golf soon!” wrote Barbara Whitehead of Give2theTroops in an e-mail.

Currently, Give2theTroops is running its “Tee Time for the Troops” campaign, just for this very purpose – to get a diversion, and a slice of home (no pun intended) to American soldiers.

You can read more about it here:

Here are some pictures of the troops hitting balls in the desert!

Have a Happy and Safe Fourth of July!
