Fore Hope is a nationally recognized, non-profit organization that uses golf as an instrument to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities, illness, injury, inactive lifestyle and other life challenges. Headquartered in central Ohio, Fore Hope's mission is transforming lives through therapeutic golf since 1989. Our organization was one of the first of its kind to provide a therapeutic approach to golf by creating a program for persons of all ages, disabilities and economic backgrounds, while assisting them with their cognitive, emotional, physical and social development. Fore Hope is making a difference! Medical professionals are becoming more aware of the therapeutic benefits of golf. Golf is the viable means by which an individual can rejoin life to its fullest - activity, social opportunities and fun.
