Vets Hit The Links at WIM Golf Event

WINDHAM – The Adaptive Sports Foundation (ASF) hosted a one-day Warriors in Motion® (WIM) golf event at Windham Golf Club on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

Nine veterans traveled to Windham and met at the golf club at 9:30 a.m. ASF staff and Windham Golf Club professional Jesse Muller welcomed the warriors and led them to the driving range, where they had a chance to loosen up, work on their swings and gauge the distance each club provides.

After 45 minutes at the range, the group focused on their short game at the putting green. Muller gave a tutorial on chipping the ball onto the green from a short distance — arguably one of the most difficult aspects of the game. The veterans then practiced individually with one-on-one instruction from Muller and his assistant before working on putting and reading greens.

To wrap up the morning lessons, the group participated in a friendly closest-to-the-hole putting competition. Robert Goo and Rafael Paniagua each won a round and walked away with a free sleeve of golf balls.

The veterans then enjoyed lunch at Mulligan’s Pub, which overlooks the scenic golf course, before splitting into three threesomes for an afternoon of course play. Once their rounds were complete, the warriors said their goodbyes and departed for home.

This was the final Warriors in Motion event of the summer. In total, ASF hosted eight WIM events, empowering injured U.S. servicemen and women throughout the season. The next WIM event will be the Bob Stubbs Warriors in Motion Winter Sports Weekend — a four-day learn-to-ski-and-snowboard program — scheduled for Feb. 5–8, 2026.
