AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) – The Texas Wounded Warrior Foundation is set to host its annual Amarillo golf tournament on Monday, today they had a competition for their warriors.
The foundation is hosting its 9th annual golf event at the Tascosa Golf Club, located at 4502 Fairway Drive, on July 1.
“We have 64 warriors in Amarillo right now, they had a two-man scramble today an opportunity for them to get together and meet one another and meet new people and fellowship,” said Texas Wounded Warrior Foundation member Scotty Knutson. “And just have a great day part of the weekend that we have planned for them.”
Knutson explained how having this outlet can help veterans in their day to day life.
“I think the mental deal helps them through some of the trauma that they’ve been through, and doing things basically none of us really wanted to sign up and do and so I think it brings them together with different warriors that they don’t know,” said Knutson. “And long life, lasting friendships are made.”
