On Course Foundation

A big thank you to John Henry and Fort Worth Magazine for this awesome piece on the Simpson Cup, and how we at On Course Foundation help our wounded veterans to thrive in their recovery…

Fort Worth Welcomes Simpson Cup, Where Wounded Veterans Compete and Rebuild At Shady Oaks Country Club this fall, wounded American and British servicemen will compete in the Simpson Cup — a Ryder Cup-style event born from a simple belief: golf can help injured veterans rebuild confidence, community, and purpose.

Thanks to our partnership with .clubhouse our member Erick Earvin had an incredible opportunity to caddie for Poom Saksansin during the LIV Promotional Tournament at Black Diamond Ranch.

Erick guided Poom for four full days, gaining invaluable experience at true tour level. From course management and preparation to the pressure of competition, this was an unforgettable step forward in his journey as a professional caddie.

Huge credit to everyone involved for making opportunities like this possible. Real experiences and real pathways ⛳️ 🤝 🏆

Thanks for your continued support Marriott Vacations Worldwide - we’re so proud of our important partnership! Here’s to another great year - helping our wounded veterans get out of the house, onto the golf course and into employment in the golf industry. ⛳️

December took our members from Isle of Palms to Myrtle Beach and on to Orlando.

They worked tournament operations at Myrtle Beach National, learned course prep ahead of a major renovation at The River Club, and supported the PNC Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Grande Lakes. Real roles, real responsibility, real pathways into the golf industry.

As we close out the year, thank you to all our supporters who made this possible. Wishing you a happy holiday season. See you in 2026, it is going to be a huge year.

Check this out. Charles Schwab just released a new episode of Invested in the Game featuring two of our own, Chad Pfeifer and Mike Browne. They talk openly about their injuries, their recovery, and how golf helped them find purpose again. They also speak about the unique bond that forms between the U.S. and U.K. teams at the Simpson Cup.

It is a great listen and a powerful look at why our work matters.

A brilliant feature from Charles Schwab that captures exactly why our partnership works so well. It highlights the mindset, resilience, and experience that shape the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, and it shines a light on the veterans from OCF who give their time to support it and build their experience in the game of golf.

🚨We’re excited to announce the playing Team Captains for the 2026 Simpson Cup - taking place at Shady Oaks Country Club from 1-4 November 🚨

At the helm of Team USA is former Marine Jake Nelson, a seven-time Simpson Cup competitor and Texas native whose leadership comes as OCF prepares to launch its brand-new Texas chapter of the back of the 2026 event.

Leading Team GB will be Neil Flynn, a proud veteran of the Blues and Royals whose journey has inspired countless members of the On Course Foundation community.

Both captains bring veteran grit, vast Simpson Cup experience, and a commitment to the mission of On Course Foundation.

We can’t wait to tee it up at Shady Oaks Country Club, Texas, next November! ⛳

Reminiscing about a special week earlier this year. So many moments and memories made on British soil. The result was tough, but all eyes are now on 2026 and a return to home soil. Photo credit
Let’s go USA.

An incredible week for our veterans at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship at Phoenix Country Club. They supported the First Tee clinic for more than 150 local kids, spent time with our amazing partners Charles Schwab and even had the privilege of meeting PGA Tour players including Thomas Bjørn. Many of the group recently completed our caddie program at Chambers Bay had the chance to caddie in the Pro Am alongside a professional.

On Veterans Day, 18 of our members gathered at Shady Oaks in Fort Worth to honor service and meet the team preparing to host the 2026 Simpson Cup.
Our goal for next November, from the 1st thru the 4th, is to raise the funds needed to launch a dedicated OCF chapter in Texas and sustain it for 4 full years. With support from Shady Oaks, the local community, and sponsors old and new, we plan to build a strong program and reach as many of the 450,000 wounded veterans in the state as we can.
