Lt Col Dan Rooney, an Air Force fighter pilot and a force for good. From humble beginnings above his garage, he founded The Folds of Honor Foundation to provide educational scholarships to the families of disabled or fallen military members, and, beginning in 2022, the mission was expanded to include first responders. In his new book, FLY INTO THE WIND: How to Harness Faith and Fearlessness on Your Ascent to Greatness, Lt Col Rooney demonstrates how we are all connected by God, and the path to fulfillment begins with changing ourselves to better one another.  Lt Col Dan shares his faith in the concept of synchronicity and how chance and purpose allow God to bring people into our lives that shape us. He shares the incident that planted the seed of Folds of Honor in Lt Col Dan's mind and the moment he felt the hand of God on his shoulder calling him to do something more significant with his life. He also explains why he believes that all great leaders need to take that big step and have the courage to take action before they are ready, and surrender to a higher force.  “Great leaders have got vision, and they've got humility.” - Lt Col Dan Rooney “Resistance isn't placed in our lives to keep us down. It's actually in our lives to raise us up.” - Lt Col Dan Rooney “You are the sky; everything else is the weather.” -  Lt Col Dan Rooney This Week on The Wow Factor: Dan's early life and the lessons about hard work that his very first job at the Stillwater Country Club, Oklahoma, taught him The chance encounter that made him realize what he wanted to do with his life How Lt Col Dan came to be compared to Tiger Woods Some of the challenges that Lt Col Dan has encountered in his life, including recognizing that his  ego was getting in his way Lt Col Dan's code of living based on CAVU (Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited) and how he used it to get through some tough times Lt Col Dan shares the two most significant barriers to achieving your goals The power of forgiveness and how getting rid of that parasitic drag can transform your life The importance of having a routine in staying motivated Why Lt Col Dan firmly believes that if you write your plans down, they are more likely to happen in your life Why Lt Col Dan appealed to Jack Nicklaus to support American Dunes and how it helped them raise $1.1 million for Folds of Honor Lt Col Dan Rooney's Word of Wisdom: Go before you're ready. The single strand of DNA that ties every great leader together is the understanding that you'll never have all the answers, but if you have the courage and faith to go before you're ready, people will follow you.

He shares the incident that planted the seed of Folds of Honor in Lt Col Dan's mind and the moment he felt the hand of God on his shoulder calling him to do something more significant with his life. He also explains why he believes that all great leaders need to take that big step and have the courage to take action before they are ready and surrender to a higher force.    “Great leaders have got vision, and they've got humility.” - Lt Col Dan Rooney “Resistance isn't placed in our lives to keep us down. It's actually in our lives to raise us up.” - Lt Col Dan Rooney “You are the sky; everything else is the weather.” -  Lt Col Dan Rooney   This Week on The Wow Factor:  ●  Dan's early life and the lessons about hard work that his very first job at the Stillwater Country Club, Oklahoma, taught him ●  The chance encounter that made him realize what he wanted to do with his life ●  How Lt Col Dan came to be compared to Tiger Woods ●  Some of the challenges that Lt Col Dan has encountered in his life, including recognizing that his  ego was getting in his way ●  Lt Col Dan's code of living based on CABU (Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited) and how he used it to get through some tough times ●  Lt Col Dan shares the two most significant barriers to achieving your goals ●  The power of forgiveness and how getting rid of that parasitic drag can transform your life ●  The importance of having a routine in staying motivated ●  Why Lt Col Dan firmly believes that if you write your plans down, they are more likely to happen in your life ●  Why Lt Col Dan appealed to Jack Nicklaus to support American Dunes and how it helped them raise $1.1 million for Folds of Honor   Lt Col Dan Rooney's Word of Wisdom: Go before you're ready. The single strand of DNA that ties every great leader together is the understanding that you'll never have all the answers, but if you have the courage and faith to go before you're ready, people will follow you.   Connect with Lt Col Dan Rooney:  ●  Folds of Honor Website ●  Lt Col.

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network Podcast Ep 289 as we share the story of American Dunes - one of the nation's most unique golf properties both for its history and patriotic cause. Our guest is ADGC General Manager, Doug Bell who paints the picture of the last 12 months of growth, growing pains, and overwhelming gratitude from those who have come to play and soak in the experience on and off the course. ----------------- In 2006, the Grand Haven Golf Club hosted a small golf tournament that would inspire the formation of Folds of Honor. The Grand Haven Golf Club closed in 2018 and a small group of patriots joined together with Jack Nicklaus to create American Dunes. The mission of American Dunes is unwavering. We are honored to raise awareness and funds for the families of our fallen and disabled veterans.  Jack Nicklaus led the project by donating his $3,000,000 design fee, a group of eighteen individuals sponsored a hole and five private investors joined together to preserve the birthplace of Folds of Honor. Lt Col Dan Rooney, a fighter pilot in the USAFR and PGA Professional founded Folds of Honor in 2007. “American Dunes represents a collaboration of countless likeminded patriots, who want this golf course to forever stand as a tribute to the birthplace of Folds of Honor, a safe haven for veterans who find rehabilitation through the recreation of the game, and a backdrop to celebrate our country and those who fought for its freedom” said Rooney. A significant legacy such as this is born out of the effort of selfless individuals and companies who have donated their time and resources. And now, because of you and many other like minded patriots that know that Freedom Is Not Free, your support of American Dunes Golf Club directly benefits the Folds of Honor mission.   ---------------- FGN 24/7 Listener Hotline - 989-787-0193 - we want to hear from you!

On this week’s show Those Weekend Golf Guys talk about their fantastic trip up to Grand Harbor Michigan for the Grand Opening Celebration of the American Dunes Golf Club. American Dunes is owned and operated by Lt. Col. Dan Rooney from Folds of Honor and was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus. The trip was fun and the course was amazing. The greens were running fast (14 on the meter) and the wind was blowing (20-25 mph). The course has lots of sand which the guys found to be a bit problematic and the wind actually blew the ball off course on the greens. So, Jeff is giving tips this week on playing from sand (not greenside bunkers), putting on slick greens in a heavy wind, and all the other necessary talents you will need to play a course like American Dunes.
