Prior to golf instruction, Dennis Walters will perform his trick-shot show for participants.

Through his golf show, he delivers a mix of trick shots and life lessons alongside his canine companion, Bucky.
The Youth and Armed Forces Clinic is supported by PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America. Through the game of golf, PGA REACH fosters inclusion and positively impacts youth, military veterans and diverse communities.
