For Jim McDavid, founder of The McDavid Group Charities, the origin of Golf for COPS begins in the summer of 2016, on a stretch of road with the radio on, listening to a widow share her story.
She was the wife of one of the five officers killed in Dallas only weeks earlier, and as she described how reality sets in, with three kids to raise, trying to rebuild a life that no longer has its foundation, Jim knew that he had found his purpose. That December, the first Golf for COPS tournament was played, what was thought to be a simple tournament would give way to more than a decade of supporting the families of fallen law enforcement.
