MEET THE MINDS BEHIND THE MISSION

A Life of Resilience, Golf, and Purpose

Brett Emmers is not just a golfer—he is a fighter, a visionary, and the driving force behind Plus 3 Golf, a nonprofit revolutionizing how athletes, musicians, and veterans receive mental health support. A former Division 1 scholar golfer, Brett’s life was shaped by the pursuit of greatness, but it was the battles off the course that would define his mission.

A Golfer’s Rise, A Life’s Collapse

From a young age, Brett dedicated himself to golf, earning a scholarship to compete at the highest collegiate level. His future seemed set—until a career-ending injury shattered his dreams. Stripped of the game that had given him purpose, he spiraled into substance abuse, depression, and ultimately, a suicide attempt. It was a fight few saw coming, but it was one he refused to lose.

Recovery didn’t happen overnight. It was built through struggle, hard truths, and an unwavering decision to turn pain into purpose. Brett found his way back through golf—not as a competitor, but as a leader, mentor, and advocate for those fighting battles beyond the scorecard.

The Birth of Plus 3 Golf: A Mission Beyond the Game

Brett’s personal journey became the foundation for Plus 3 Golf, an organization built to integrate mental health solutions into athletics, entertainment, and industry development. He understood firsthand that athletes, musicians, and veterans are trained to be strong—but rarely taught how to ask for help.

Plus 3 Golf was built to change that. The nonprofit is structured around three core initiatives:

1️⃣ The Golf Initiative – Featuring the Plus 3 Junior Tour and the Integrated Mental Health Scholarship (Wellness Scholarship), ensuring young athletes receive not just elite training, but mental health support to navigate the pressures of competition.

2️⃣ The Entertainment Initiative – Providing artist ownership models, career development, and mental health resources for musicians and entertainers, ensuring those in high-pressure creative industries have the same support as athletes.

3️⃣ The Veteran Initiative – Offering career pathways and business mentorship through The Golf Armory and the Veteran Job Placement Hub, helping veterans transition into industry roles with the tools, opportunities, and mental health support they deserve.

Building a Movement, Not Just a Brand

Beyond the nonprofit, Brett has expanded his vision with Plus 3 Golf Media, a creative agency dedicated to golf courses, industry professionals, and players. By blending media, marketing, and storytelling, Plus 3 Golf Media is building a platform that amplifies the voices of those who need it most.

His work isn’t about charity—it’s about creating a lasting shift in the way mental health is addressed in sports and entertainment. Through high-impact fundraising tournaments, live music events, and innovative partnerships, Brett has redefined what it means to give back to the game and the people who play it.

A Legacy of Strength, Change, and Second Chances

Brett Emmers’ story is one of resilience, reinvention, and refusing to let failure be the final chapter. He is living proof that setbacks are just setups for comebacks, and that true success is measured not by trophies, but by the lives you change along the way.

Through Plus 3 Golf, Plus 3 Golf Media, and a growing network of athletes, artists, and veterans, Brett is building something bigger than himself—a movement where no one fights alone, and every struggle has a path forward.

This is more than golf. This is Plus 3 Golf.
