Something so simple can go a long way. Are you feeding the needs of your team?
When you hear your officers going from call to call with no end in sight, you head to #GorillaBBQ and clean them out of ribs! If you watch Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives then you'll know this City of Pacifica hot spot. Thanks for the tip, Guy Fieri! Our brave warriors will be well fed!
Managing self talk sounds simple but it is far from easy. Don’t let the negativity bias take over and you can shift your entire baseline and perspective. Stay safe out there!
Let’s talk about managing self talk: Negativity bias is when our brain focuses more on bad experiences than good ones. It’s natural, but it can get in the way of how we see things and how we perform. In this video, I’m going to show you a quick way to use self-talk to break that cycle and stay focused on what really matters. #helpingourheroes #mentalhealthmatters #manageselftalk #strongertogether #firstresponders #MindfulnessInAction #BreachTheStigma #performance #warriorfocus
We need to #breachthestigma. You matter!
Suicide prevention should be everyone’s priority because everyone matters. Our Warriors Resiliency Program is dedicated to military and first responders—heroes who face mental health battles daily, with suicide rates four times higher than the general public. We also use golf as a powerful tool in our program, so when i heard that October 1 was also the birthday of professional golfer Grayson Murray, who tragically lost his battle to suicide, it was a sobering reminder of how big our mission truly is. Mental health matters—let’s break the stigma and save lives. #YouMatter #SuicidePrevention #BreachTheStigma #WarriorsResiliency #GolfForGood #MentalHealthMatters
🎥 What a Difference a Day Makes! 🎥 I’m happy to share that today at the President’s Cup was a complete 180 compared to yesterday. From the moment I got to the gate, the support staff were incredibly relieved that there were no issues this time around, and they even expressed their support after what happened yesterday. Best part? I get to go fully enjoy the day, stress-free…well for the most part with how tight the competition has been! The highlight of my morning was running into the amazing police officer who helped me through the situation yesterday. I was honored to give her a challenge coin as a token of my gratitude for her kindness and understanding. 💙 Now it’s time to soak in the final day of the competition. Who’s taking home the win – Team USA or the International Team?

Most people won’t watch this video because they don’t actually understand how much post traumatic stress truly effects the lives of our veterans and first responders. Unfortunately, the stressful and unwarranted interaction with security earlier activated a pretty intense migraine, and I had to leave halfway through the event. I’m now back in my room, resting and watching the competition from here, hoping to recover for tomorrow. As you can probably see, K9 Willow is doing her best to distract me right now, because talking about this kind of activates me again, and she knows it. She’s amazing at sensing when I’m starting to get stressed. While I’m doing my best to stay positive, this situation highlights the real impact that a lack of awareness around service dogs and accessibility can have. It wasn’t just a small inconvenience – it affected my entire day, both physically and mentally. And I know I’m not alone in this. I share this not to point fingers but to show how much work we still have to do in terms of education and creating truly inclusive environments. Let’s keep the conversation going, and hopefully, we can create positive change so others don’t have to go through the same thing. Thank you to everyone who has already shown support. I’ll be resting up and ready to go tomorrow – hopefully without any more hiccups! Take care, and remember: inclusion matters. #AccessibilityMatters #ServiceDogs #PresidentsCup #disabledveteran #breachthestigma #InclusionForAll #ptsdawareness #livingwithptsd Driving Foreward PGATOUR Presidents Cup Courageous Companions
🎥 The Importance of Awareness 🎥 Today, I almost missed out on the President’s Cup. Why? A security supervisor was unaware of the laws surrounding service dogs. Thankfully, a kind police officer stepped in and set things right. But this experience made me think – how many others face similar barriers due to a lack of awareness? It’s time for organizers and associations like the PGA to take a closer look at how they handle accessibility and inclusivity. We can do better. We must do better. Let’s open up the conversation – how can we improve accessibility at major events? Drop your thoughts below and let’s push for change together. 👇💬 #AccessibilityMatters #ServiceDogs #PresidentsCup #DrivingForeward #InclusionForAll #disabledveteran #ptsdawareness #veteranservicedog #MentalHealthAwareness PGA TOUR Presidents Cup Global Disability Inclusion, LLC Driving Foreward
I was just standing about 5 feet away from Scotty Scheffler and Adam Scott. As a disabled veteran, this is well beyond my realistic life. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be here. It feels surreal.
Where’s our Salty Sarge this week? She’s braving the crowds at the President’s Cup! 🏆 While it’s a fun event for many, for someone battling PTSD, it can feel overwhelming. But she's ready to take on the challenge and cheer on the incredible golfers competing. Let’s send her all the strength and support as she faces the beast head-on! 💪⛳ #DrivingForeward #SaltySarge #PTSDawareness #PresidentsCup #MentalHealthMatters #disabledveteran #breachthestigma #morethanagame #ptsdawareness #ptsdsurvivor #gratitude #StrengthInAdversity #ptsdservicedog Sue Harvey PGATOUR Club Car Mobilicab Canada Inc.
What a great week with a meaning well beyond a game. #grateful
For our Sue Harvey golf saved her life. The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and their players would never know, but they helped in saving the life of a veteran and then active duty police officer, and in turn helped to inspire a life changing program for so many others battling mental health on the frontline. Watch and see how this all came full circle in Ohio at the Queen City Championship. #breachthestigma #fullcircle #MoreThanAGame #ptsdawareness #mentalhealthmatters #servicedoglife #suicideprevention #meaningfulchange #warriorresiliency
Five years ago, I nearly lost my own battle. Out of that experience, Driving Foreward and the Warrior Resiliency Program were born. Since then, our clinics have seen overwhelming success. Participants have fully embraced mindfulness and integrated it into their daily lives. Just recently, at an event, a past participant approached me to express his gratitude. He shared how our program helped him escape the darkness when he needed it most. Today, he’s able to look at himself in the mirror, and his life has changed for the better. The support and enthusiasm from those directly involved in our program have been nothing short of extraordinary. However, despite the proven impact on individual lives, agencies remain hesitant—perhaps because our approach lies outside their traditional framework. But when lives are at risk, shouldn’t we be willing to consider new perspectives and approaches? What we are currently doing simply isn’t working. The cost of staying inside the box is far too high. Isn’t it worth a closer look at what *can* make a difference? 😔💙
🖤 We lost another member to suicide. Another life, another heartache. 🖤 What we’re doing isn’t working. We’ve been here before, feeling this same pain, and still, the lessons go unlearned. How many more lives must be lost? How much more heartbreak do we have to endure before real change happens? To the friends, family, and colleagues mourning today, our deepest condolences go out to you. Our hearts are with you. 💔 At Driving Foreward, we stand ready to help in any way we can. But this is not enough. It’s time for meaningful change. Every life lost is a price too high, and we cannot afford to keep paying it. Let’s come together. Let’s do better. Let’s be the change our community so desperately needs. #MentalHealthMatters #SuicidePrevention #WeNeedChange #DrivingForeward #EndTheStigma #SupportEachOther #YouAreNotAlone
