Operation Albatross

Zero Dark Birdie, based in Southern California, is a nonprofit on a mission to end veteran suicide—because an average of 17 veterans die by suicide every single day in the United States.

At Zero Dark Birdie, we believe healing is a mission- and for many veterans, it begins in the darkest hours. Inspired by the spirit of Special Operations and the quiet strength it takes to face trauma, we provide golf-centered retreats that offer peace, connection, and purpose for those who have served.

Much like the Zero Dark Thirty Operations carried out before the world wakes up, our retreats meet veterans where they are often in the silence of their own struggle. Through the game of golf, camaraderie, and access to proven therapies, we help them step out of the darkness and into a new chapter of life.

This isnt just about golf. It's about giving warriors a new way to fight, this time for themselves.
