Warrior Golf Acadamy
Shanks Golf Apparel is honored to announce our partnership with Warrior Golf Academy (WGA), a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting military veterans, first responders, and their families through therapeutic, skill-based golf instruction and career development in the golf industry. This partnership is more than just shared values—it’s a shared mission. Together, we are launching a line of custom-branded apparel that not only represents the strength and resilience of the WGA community but also helps drive their mission forward. A portion of proceeds from every piece sold will directly support WGA programs, helping heroes heal, grow, and thrive—both on and off the course. At Shanks, we believe in the power of purpose-driven fashion, and we’re proud to help wear the mission proudly.

About Warrior Golf Academy
Empowering Veterans, Elevating Women in Golf, and Expanding Purpose-Driven Community Impact
Founder, Jonathan Sessa
...a 100% disabled Army veteran, PGA Coach, and Founder of Warrior Golf Academy (WGA) nonprofit.
"In 2023, Warrior Golf Academy (WGA) was born out of a vision shaped by personal struggles, resilience, and a deep-seated desire to give back. My journey through the military, the battles with mental health, and the healing I found on the golf course all converged into a singular purpose—to help veterans and first responders like me find their way through the darkness and into a life of renewed purpose and community. WGA wasn’t just a business idea—it was a mission, a calling to address the struggles that many veterans and first responders face when transitioning back to civilian life. As a veteran, mental health advocate, and founder of Warrior Golf Academy, I know that
healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it requires community, connection, and sustained
advocacy. My journey from the military to creating WGA was filled with personal struggles, but those experiences also ignited a passion for spreading awareness and driving change...I have dedicated my work to advocating for mental health, sharing the therapeutic power of golf, and creating opportunities for veterans to access life-
changing resources."
