North Dartmouth, Mass. –Allendale Country Club proudly hosted the New England PGA’s 3rd OPERATION: PlayDay of the 2025 season, welcoming 41 veterans for a day of camaraderie and competition.

Under clear skies and beautiful weather, participants enjoyed a day on the course with dinner in the clubhouse after play. Congratulations to the winning group–Christopher Shaw, John Ruiz, John Callander, and Paul Cardoso–who finished 4-under-par through 9 holes.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsor Side by Side Charitable Organization, and our partners Golf Galaxy and America’s Vet Dogs whose support helped make this memorable event possible. 

The NEPGA Foundation extends its sincere appreciation to Robert “Bob” Giusti, PGA, and James “Keith” Shumate, PGA, Head Golf Professional at Allendale Country Club, along with the entire club staff for their hospitality. Shumate, a retired Navy veteran with 30 years of service, brought special significance to the event.

We’re looking forward to our fourth OPERATION: PlayDay, scheduled for July 7 at Nabnasset Lake Country Club in Westford, MA.
