 Hi everyone, I'm Matt Sancing with DEV and I'm here with DEV National Commander Nancy Espinosa and we're in Riverside, Iowa Which is not only the future birthplace of Captain James C. Kirk But is the current place of the 30th annual National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic and commander It is your first time here in Iowa first time here at the golf clinic. What's striking so far? I've observed Really nice time with all the veterans here enjoying themselves getting to know each other Some this is their first time and others. They've been here several years. So it's really interesting to see that difference Yeah, over 200 participants about half of them are first-time Participants first-time golfers you got some golfing instruction here earlier. What's your advice to other first-time golfers? Keep trying and practice I'm gonna keep trying and all practice and maybe I'll be a golfer someday. Oh, you definitely in that day is today And you've seen some of the participants some of the golfers out here What's it like to hang out with them and see them participate and compete? They're all very friendly and the camaraderie on the teams. They support each other. They're very supportive They're just having a great time smiles and even when they Don't hit the ball correctly. They're very good to each other and supportive of each other It is all smiles and golf can be a very frustrating game. I've been told And so later in the week, you know, we have some alternative events. What are you really looking forward to later? It's only the first day of the clinic. Yeah, I'm looking forward to cycling. I'm a cyclist in my background but they're also having rock wall climbing kayaking and Other golfing other golfing right now stop that. Yeah. Yeah Awesome.
