Meeting Sacrifice with Hope: The Folds Of Honor Mission | Titleist

Lt Col Dan Rooney founded Folds of Honor in 2007 to fund educational scholarships for the families of fallen or disabled military service members. An F-16 fighter pilot and PGA Professional, Rooney discusses the mission alongside Billy Sampson, PGA Professional and Director of Instruction at Old Tabby Links on Spring Island, South Carolina. titleist.com

Sampson supports that mission through an annual golf marathon, with the Spring Island community contributing through donations and pledges. His September 6, 2026 challenge marked his 17th year supporting Folds of Honor. During his 162-hole challenge in 2026 at Old Tabby Links, Sampson recorded 29 birdies and a low round of 67. His efforts raised $140,000 for scholarships.

At Fox Hills GC in Plymouth, Michigan, FOH's Jessica Everett welcomed golfers to the 2026 TT Hero 100, where members of Team Titleist played 100 holes of golf, raising awareness and adding significantly to the more than 86,000 scholarships that the organization has awarded to date.

There are countless ways to help the Folds of Honor cause through the game we love. Support FOH golf marathons like Billy Sampson's, participate in Team Titleist events like the Hero 100, join the FOH Wingman program or partner with your local golf facility and start your own local Patriots Day, Independence Day or Veterans Day tournament. Thank you for joining the mission!
