Golfing with President Bush
|
|
Hidden Creek Golf Course Golf Pro, Greg Gregory, was invited to play in the George W. Bush Presidential Center Warrior Open.
The Bush Institute's Warrior Open began in 2011 for United States military personnel seriously wounded or injured since September 11, 2001. Each golf team consists of three warriors and one golf pro.
"It was such an honor to be chosen to participate in the open," said Gregory. "To be around these warriors and President Bush was an eye opening and humbling privilege."
This year's Warrior Open was played at Prestonwood Golf Club in Dallas on Monday, May 22. Gregory's team consisted of Scott Adams, Sergeant First Class, United States Army, Retired; Timothy Gaestel, Sergeant, United States Army, Purple Heart recipient; and Michael Meyer, Corporal, United States Marine Corps, Retired.
