Alvin King, founder of Range Fore Hope said “This tournament was started last year to help adaptive golfers and if you’re unfamiliar with what adaptive golf is, it’s golfers with disabilities. Range Fore Hope specifically helps military members are their families. From active duty, veterans, their dependents as well as family members. We have carts that will help people with spinal injuries as well as all other types of injuries.”
