A Message from the President

I’m honored, privileged, and humbled to be elected as the new President of the Iowa Golf Association.

This honor is a highlight of my golfing career that I will cherish and fulfill to the best of my abilities. Following are some stories that have shaped my views of the game of golf and what the IGA means to me.

I was introduced to the game of golf at the age of three when my mother, Jane, gave me a cutoff woodenshafted five iron. She asked me to play with her as my siblings went to play at the pool. My mother loves the game and has been the greatest teacher of the game that anyone could ask for, never giving a putt and making me play the ball as it lies. She taught me etiquette and the rules of the game: life-long lessons.

Another early influence was my babysitter, Bobbi Liechty. Bobbi was a high school champion, played college golf, played on the LPGA Tour, coached college golf, and also sent two daughters on to play college golf at Tom Christensen Wisconsin and Indiana. She has raised a great family and the foundation of etiquette and the rules of the game IGA President helped to provide her with the tools needed to succeed in life and with raising her family.

Growing up, my best friend was Ken Schall, and every summer we spent our days at the local municipal golf course, Byrnes Park. We competed against (and with) each other from kindergarten through our high school years. He won most of the games we played making me respect sports and pushing me to excel to the best of my ability. I saw Ken win an Iowa Amateur and we were teammates on Waterloo West High School teams that won a state championship and finished second once. Our leader, teacher and coach Don Narveson, is a member of the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame.

Ken eventually played his way onto the PGA Tour and has had a very successful career as a PGA Club Professional, teaching the game of golf and providing enjoyment to many golfers around the state of Iowa. It was a thrill for me to see Ken inducted into the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame in 2012!

Golf has always been a family game for the Christensen’s. Every Sunday afternoon since I can remember my family has had a tradition of playing a Golf is a special tradition for round of golf together, starting with my immediate family the Christensen family and my grandfather. As the years passed this group grew to include spouses, children, nephews and nieces with as many as 17 of us playing together each Sunday. Even as our children, nephews, and nieces have moved on to college or careers and can’t make it to our Sunday games any longer, we still play on Sundays with a group of 8, my mother leading the group and always playing the game with etiquette and by the rules, continuing the life-long lessons.

My grandfather, Louis, also made a point to invite me to play with him every weekday during the summer golf season. A very accomplished player in his own right on the state level, he has always emphasized to me the importance of etiquette and playing by the rules in both competitive and social situations.

I played my first IGA Championship 40 years ago in 1974 and have played in many every year since. I have watched and competed against the greats of the game of golf in Iowa, from Ivan Miller to today’s generation. It has been an honor to walk the fairways with extraordinary individuals like Mike McCoy, Gene Elliott and Jon Brown, who for the past 20 to 30 years have competed and won at the National, State and local levels leading to the election of all three to the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame in recent years. I’m also honored to say that I have played golf with Masters Champion Zach Johnson (before he was a Masters Champion) and the way all these great players conduct themselves on the course has taught me about the etiquette and rules of the game.

I have been involved with the IGA since 1999 as a volunteer and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to share my talents with the organization. I’m proud and pleased to have been a part of the IWGA and IGA merger over the last couple years and I am committed to the belief that the IGA exists to serve all golfers, regardless of gender.

I have goals that will challenge many of us in the coming couple of years. I want to see an increase in volunteer participation in the IGA, as it has provided me with the opportunity to grow my enjoyment of the game. Volunteering is the backbone of the organization and expands what we can provide golfers in Iowa.

I would also like to increase the IGA’s support for junior golf programs across Iowa and to develop new programs that will provide young people the opportunity to enjoy the game for a lifetime and to share the life skills inherent in the etiquette and the rules of golf: life-long lessons.

I love this game. I love the fact I have the opportunity to work with a talented and dedicated staff at the IGA. I love that I have had the chance to volunteer and to work with Past IGA Presidents like Ron Van Buskirk, Leroy Oxley, Jamie Blackburn and Joe Kehoe, along with countless board members and volunteers.

We all share a love of the game and my hope is that in the next two years I will be able to have a positive influence on at least one person in the game we all love and in life.

Thanks for your trust and please contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas. I’m honored and I cherish my time serving the IGA.

A Message from the Executive Director

The Importance of Volunteers

I’m a lucky guy. I started on my path to a career in golf administration as a volunteer. A good friend and former college roommate was the executive director of the Golf Association of Michigan (GAM), and he recruited me into the volunteer ranks.

As a tournment volunteer

It was the late 1980’s and I was living in Northern Michigan, for the IGA you get an I owned and ran a couple of businesses which allowed me to arrange my summers so that I could work with the GAM and the USGA as interesting observation point a volunteer committee member. I attended a couple of Rules of to watch the best amateur Golf Workshops and a variety of seminars on other subjects, and and professional players in Bill Dickens Iowa play the game Executive Director ultimately I found my life’s work.

One thing this taught me, and this has been confirmed time and again ever since, is that volunteers are critical to the success of organizations like the Iowa Golf Association. Another thing I know from the experience is that it can be a lot of fun and it gives you a great feeling that you have contributed to something you really care about.

When most people think of volunteering for the IGA they think only about Rules Officials and some find that to be intimidating. But the vast majority of IGA volunteers are not rules officials. They join a course rating team or come out to events as a spotter, a starter or help out as a score keeper or shuttle driver. Being an IGA volunteer does not always require committing a full day because it is very helpful to have extra help at the start or the end of the day.

As our new IGA President Tom Christensen points out in his message, golf is a family game and golf volunteering can be a family activity as well. We are pleased to have several husband-wife participants as part of our course rating family. It’s a great way to help the IGA with one of its core functions and the volunteers have an opportunity to play some different golf courses in the region of the state where they reside.

I made lots of friends in golf in my volunteer days and many of the volunteers I have met since making this my career have become friends. As a tournament volunteer for the IGA you get an interesting observation point to watch the best amateur and professional players in Iowa play the game. If you have an interest in joining the IGA family of volunteers please give the IGA office a call!

Another Great Year It was another great year for the IGA. The highlight, of course, was the finalization of the merger that brings the Iowa Women’s Golf Association and the IGA together as one organization. I will always be grateful to the outgoing Presidents, Joe Kehoe of the IGA and Carroll Dethrow of the IWGA, for their leadership in making this happen.

The IGA Championships were as exciting as ever and we crowned many great champions. The competitive year was capped with the crowning of a national champion from Iowa when Mike McCoy won the U. S. Mid-Amateur Championship!

Golf in Iowa just continues to get better and better!

IGA and IWGA leaders in October at Indian Creek Country Club in Nevada.

We move forward into 2014 with a From left to right: Tom Christensen (incoming IGA President), Carroll Dethrow (IWGA strong commitment to serve all golfers in Iowa. We have an experienced and expert President), Leighann LaRocca, Linda Laylin, Patty Iogha, Cindy Reinertsen, Marianne staff who work harder than anybody I know.

Michel (all IWGA board members), Joe Kehoe (IGA President).

Assistant Executive Director Chad Pitts achieved a long time dream last summer when he served on the Rules Committee at the U. S. Senior The highlight, of course, Open at Omaha Country Club. I have a feeling he will be on many such committees in the future.

Membership Services Director Jason Bjorklund and Katelynn Hogenson, Director of Operations was the finalization of the merger that brings and Women’s Golf continue to provide the best in customer service to our clubs and members. I am the Iowa Women’s Golf constantly amazed at their dedication and creative talents! They all make my job so much easier!

Finally, I want to sincerely thank the board of directors of the IGA for their continued Associaiton and the commitment to making the IGA the best possible organization it can be. Their passion for the game IGA together as one is constant and will sustain this association in our efforts to “preserve, protect and promote” this organization great game in Iowa.

Handicapping & Course Rating Committee Report this core service to clubs in Iowa and Western Illinois in a timely manner.

I’m pleased to say the IGA issued Course and Slope Ratings for 34 golf courses in 2013. At these 34 courses, 98 tees were rated for males and 50 for females. The transition to rating courses for both men’s and women’s tees in the same visit is now complete, providing better service and efficiency for clubs.

Course Ratings are performed for a variety of reasons. Most are re-ratings to update ones that are nearing their ten year expiration date. Some are performed for new IGA Member Clubs who previously had never been rated; others are done following renovations which changed the golf course.

Having current Course and Slope Ratings at a club allows golfers to post their scores made from each rated set of tees and establish a Handicap Index. A Handicap Index converts to a Course Handicap based on the Slope of the tees to be played. A Course Handicap allows golfers of different abilities to compete against one another on an equitable basis!

I encourage any clubs or golfers who have questions about the USGA Handicap System to contact the professional staff in Ankeny.

They field numerous inquiries each year and are always ready to assist.

Have a great 2014 on and off the course!

The purpose of the USGA Handicap System is to make the game more enjoyable by enabling players of varying abilities to compete on an equitable basis and The USGA Course Rating System is the standard upon which the USGA Handicap System is built.

The IGA is authorized by the USGA to do USGA Course and Slope Ratings.

We hold licenses with the USGA and Leroy Oxley Chairman clubs submit their requests for Course Ratings to the IGA staff in Ankeny who works with a dedicated group of volunteers to provide this core service to clubs. We have course ratings teams in the Quad Cities area, Northwest Iowa, Pella, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Pella, nearly 50 volunteers in all!

The IGA Staff works closely with each teams ‘captain’ to administer the scheduling and execution of these ratings. The staff joins teams periodically to assist in carrying out the on-course portion of the process. All ratings are reviewed and calculated by the staff and then issued to the clubs.

These volunteers are a key component to the process. Their time and effort in giving back to the game enables the IGA provide

What It Means to Play to Your Handicap Let’s say Bob has a Handicap Index of 13.2. He plans to play a set of tees that have a Course Rating of 70.0 and a Slope Rating of 120. By applying his Handicap Index to the Slope of 120, he has a Course Handicap of 14 on this set of tees. For Bob to play to his handicap he must shoot his ‘Target Score’ or better. Target score is calculated by adding the Course Rating of the tees played and the golfer’s Course Handicap. (70.0 + 14 = 84).

Par, and the net score in relation to par, has nothing to do determining what it means to ‘Play to Your Handicap’ – think Target Score!

Course Rating Volunteers in action!

Communications Committee Report

We will be increasing our video content in 2014. More videos recapping events and with the unveiling of an IGA YouTube Channel, there will be a growing number of brief videos on a wide array of subjects for both golfers and clubs to access.

An added benefit in 2013 was the six editions of the E-Majors Magazine that were distributed to all IGA members with an email address in their IGA/GHIN member account. The E-Majors Magazine contains content from top journalists, videographers and art directors. It’s not a sales piece but rather of publication with engaging and original stories, videos, photos and graphics delivered directly to our individual members. If you haven’t taken a few moments to read through the content of the past issues please do so in 2014. I’m confident you will enjoy this member benefit!

It was the first full year that the GHIN mobile app was available

The IGA’s website continues to be the ‘Information Hub for Iowa Golf’.

As of December, iowagolf.org is on pace to have over 150,000 visits and over a half million page views!

The list of resources available at iowagolf.org is extensive! You can post scores, lookup current handicap info, view tournament results, access IGA Member Clubs listings, read information Andy Burton on the Rules of Golf and the USGA Chairman Handicap System, learn about members of the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame, access applications for the Herman Sani and Ann Griffel Scholarships… and much more!

Rules and Competitions Committee Report

It was a very busy year for the IGA in the Rules & Competitions department.

In addition to fully taking over the administration of all the women’s’ events, we took advantage of the opportunity to add two championships to our portfolio in the Herman Sani Tournament and the Senior Match Play. We once again put on rules seminars for Iowa golfers throughout the year and recruited and trained volunteers Mike Pape to help at our ever-increasing schedule of Chairman events. When looking back, the highlight of the year was certainly Mike McCoy’s performance at the U.S. Mid-Amateur.

Mike showed all of us what perseverance and a “never give up” attitude can do for you. In his 38th USGA Championship, with a career spanning over 30 years, he became a champion for the first time when he won the U.S. Mid-Amateur. Along with countless other Iowa golfers I was glued to the Internet following Mike’s march through the bracket.

We all knew what this meant to him and hopefully he realizes how much pride we all take as Iowa golfers when one of our own earns a victory like that. We will now direct our cheers on his behalf toward Augusta this April.

Not only did the win at the U.S. Mid-Amateur fulfill a couple lifelong dreams for Mike, but it also earned him his record 11th Iowa Player of the Year title and the Senior Player of the Year title in the first year he was eligible. He passed good friends Gene Elliott and Joe Palmer for those titles, respectively. Both Gene and Joe were more than worthy of being named the best in the state based on their tremendous achievements.

Gene won his third Iowa Amateur title at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, a place that calls itself “Scottish-inspired” and that is exactly what it was during the last weekend in July. Firm, fast and brown fairways combined with wind and native, no-mow When looking back, areas to produce a playing surface unlike the highlight of the any we see here in Iowa. Gene managed year was certainly his game terrifically and earned a narrow win over Herman Sani Scholar Dane Mike McCoy’s Worley. performance at the In the Senior competition. Joe Palmer U.S. Mid-Am pulled off the rare double, winning the Iowa Senior Amateur and the Iowa Senior Match Play. Palmer was in a close race with Elliott for the Senior Player of the Year crown heading into the Match Play and, as luck would have it, met up with Elliott in the

quarterfinals. In a match that most thought was going to determine the Senior POTY, Palmer came from a 4 hole deficit to win with a birdie on the 19th hole. Only a subsequent victory at the U.S. Mid-Am by McCoy would deny Palmer the Senior POTY title. But congratulations are definitely in order for Joe on such a fabulous year.

I also want to congratulate Ottumwa’s Matthew Walker as he became the first person to repeat as Junior Player of the Year and Steven Ihm for his terrific win at the Sunnehanna Amateur. You will hear a lot from these two players in the coming years.

In the Women’s competition there was some outstanding golf by players of all ages at the Iowa Women’s Amateur at Mason City Country Club. Collegians have dominated the Women’s Amateur in recent years and ultimately another, Megan Furnish, would claim the title, but not before Mid-Ams Jenny Graeser, Laura Cilek and Julie Bush made their runs.

We were pleased to see an increase in participation in Women’s Match Play. After only six entries in 2012, we had a full 16-player bracket in 2013 with Laura Cilek coming out victorious. We are very excited about the future of this championship and expect it to grow once again next year.

Katie Gustafson of Ames put together a string of top finishes, including a win at the Women’s Four-Ball, to capture her first Women’s Player of the Year award. Rose Kubesheski showed why she is one of the top women players of all ages with impressive finishes each time she teed it up, capturing her second Senor Women’s Player of the Year award. Meanwhile, Karli Kerrigan of Ankeny just kept winning tournaments. She won 10 Iowa PGA Junior Tour tournaments over the summer and was named the Junior Girl’s Player of the Year.

As I said earlier, the IGA took over administration for the Senior Match Play and Herman Sani Tournaments in 2013. We were forced to move the championship from late May to mid-September when heavy spring rains hammered Fort Dodge Country Club. The September dates turned out to be great for the event with Senior Player of the Year ramifications hovering over all matches. The event will begin to move around the state as most IGA Championships do with Fox Ridge GC hosting in 2014. The event will remain in the spring in 2014 but the committee is considering a move to fall dates beginning in 2015.

Our first year administering the Herman Sani Tournament presented some challenges, but it was a tremendous success. For the first time in over 50 years the event was played somewhere other than the Hyperion Field Club. We are very grateful to have partnered with Echo Valley Country Club, Owner Mike Coppola, the staff and all the members to put on a terrific championship. We crowned a very deserving champion in Chad Proehl and, most importantly, raised a good deal of money and awareness for the Sani Scholarship Fund.

It has been a great honor to work with the staff of the IGA. They put in countless, tireless hours during the competitions and events each year. The golfers in Iowa owe them a great deal of gratitude! When you see them next year on the course, make sure you give them a friendly hello and smile. They are The Best!

We appreciate the dedication and tireless work of our volunteers.

We have a growing group of qualified volunteer rules officials in Denny Samuelson, Tom Newbanks and Mike Purcell, who continue to build upon their knowledge of the Rules. We also had great volunteer support for many other tasks from our host clubs. We thank the host managers, PGA Pros and Superintendents and all their staffs for the work they do in hosting IGA championships and qualifiers.

We are excited for 2014 and feel we have lined up another great set of host venues. I hope you are all able to get a few swings in this winter and we look forward to seeing you all on the golf course very soon.

for our members. We are starting to notice more golfers use the GHIN mobile app as the preferred way to post their score after playing. Over 27,000 scores from IGA members were posted via the app from April through October of this year! Search ‘GHIN’ in either the Google Play or iTunes App Store to download this FREE app to your mobile device.

Plans are in the works to start sending text messages to participants in our events and championships starting in 2014.

This added feature of communication will be utilized when the committee needs to get announcements of a new development (i.e. weather delays).

There are many avenues of communication currently in place and we are excited about the enhancements and additions being made to get you the information and tools you want and need!

Dennis Bull of Norwalk fired a 4-under-par 68 on Tuesday, May 7th to lead a group of four qualifiers through the local stage of qualifying for the U.S. Open. Joining the quarterfinalist from 2012 U.S. Mid-Amateur in advancing to Sectionals were Jonathan Feldick of Phoenix, Ariz., and Steven Ihm of Peosta who each carded 69. The final qualifying spot went to Chad Proehl of Urbandale who defeated Nate McCoy and Ian Vandersee, both of West Des Moines, in a playoff. The trio shot 2-under-par 70.

Local qualifying was originally scheduled for Monday, May 6th at Lake Dennis Bull Panorama but had to be postponed a day due to six inches of snow that fell on the golf course just days prior.

In addition to those who advanced to Sectionals from Lake Panorama, Jack Newman of Des Moines, Brian Bullington of Iowa City, and Brad Hopfinger, a former Hawkeye also competed in a what is commonly referred to as ‘Golf’s Longest Day.’ Newman would be the closest to earn a ticket to the championship proper. He narrowly missed out on an alternate spot after losing in a playoff. Hopfinger gained second alternate status at the St. Louis, Mo., Sectional.

Mike McCoy, 50, of West Des Moines and George Zahringer III, 60, of New York, N.Y., each shot 2-under-par 70 at The Federal Club in Richmond, Va., to qualify for the U.S. Senior Open Championship, advancing to the championship proper at Omaha Country Club in Omaha, Neb.

McCoy qualified for the Senior Open in his first year eligible. Following an early bogey, he played bogey-free with three birdies the rest of the way, knocking in a 12-footer at the par-4 fourth hole before making birdies from close range at two par 5’s, holes 7 and 13.

“I had a lot of good looks, hit a lot of quality shots and drove it in play on a pretty demanding golf course,” McCoy said. Playing in a national championship not far from his home holds special significance. “It’s going to be great—it will be neat to be that close to home,” McCoy said.

In Omaha McCoy posted rounds of 4-over-par 74 and 3-over-par 73 for a 147 total, two shots outside of the cut line for the final 36 holes.

Kenny Perry captured the 34th U.S. Senior Open Championship with a score of 13-under-par 267, which ties the lowest 72-hole score in Senior Open history. His 13-under-par 127 over the final 36 holes is a record, and marks the second time he has posted a 127 to win a Senior Major title, doing so at the Senior Players Championship two weeks prior. His 10 stroke comeback is also the largest in tournament history.

Call it a three-peat. On a scorching hot day in June, Jeffrey Swegle LEADER BOARDS

June 20 The Preserve on Rathbun Lake - Moravia, Iowa Par 71 of West Des Moines edged out John Stroud, also of West Des Moines, by one stroke to earn a spot in the U.S. Junior Amateur, Swegle’s third ROUNDS TOTAL PLAYER straight trip. Swegle grabbed a qualifying spot in 2011, and made it as 1 Jeffrey Swegle - WDM, Iowa 70 - 75 145 an alternate in 2012.

At the Preserve on Rathbun Lake, Swegle captured the qualifying 2 John Stroud (A) - WDM, Iowa 146 73 - 73 spot on the strength of his opening round 70, and then held onto his 3 Aaron Denucci (A) - Clive, Iowa 71 - 76 147 lead with a second round 75. Stroud posted consecutive 73’s to obtain June 27 Hidden Glen Golf Club - Cedarburg, Wis. Par 72 his first alternate status. Aaron Denucci of Clive was one stroke back ROUNDS after his first round 71, but a second round 76 secured his second TOTAL PLAYER alternate status. High temperatures provided little relief for the players, 1 71 - 69 Aaron Wirt - Des Moines, Iowa 140 who were required to walk the 36-hole, one-day qualifier.

A few days later in Wisconsin, Aaron Wirt became the second Iowan T2 Kaylor Steger - Sturtevant, Wis. to secure a spot in the U.S. Junior Amateur by posting under-par rounds T2 Johnny Decker (A) - Verona, Wis. 74 - 69 143 of 71 and 69. This was Wirt’s first appearance in a USGA event.

71 - 73 144

The U.S. Junior Amatuer took place at Martis Camp Club in Truckee, T4 Phillip Johnson (A) - Colgate, Wis. California, which is at an elevation of in excess of 5,800 feet above sea level. The course was set up to a record length of 7,740 yards.

Swegle qualified for match play for the second time, posting scores of 74 and 75 and earn the 47 seed. Wirt missed the cut after rounds of 81-78.

Swegle’s first match against Cheng Jin of China was a back and forth affair, with momentum changing hands several times. They traded holes over the first nine; Jin was 2-up at the turn.

With three holes left in the match, Swegle needed a little magic. It came on the very next hole, the short 284 yard par-4 16th. Swegle holed his approach shot for eagle to win the hole. He followed that up with a birdie on 17 to square the match. A par on 18 advanced Swegle to the round of 32.

Swegle would not fare quite as well against George Cunningham of Tucson, Ariz. After holding a 1 up thru seven advantage, he lost the next three holes and found himself four down after 14. An eagle on 15 gave Swegle new life, but Cunningham shut the door with a birdie on 16, defeating Swegle 4 and 2.

Scott Sheffler of Texas won the U.S. Junior Amateur, defeating Davis Riley of Mississippi 3 & 2. Sheffler is the 6th Texan to win since 1999, joining other notable Texans Jordan Spieth (‘09, ‘11) and Hunter Mahan (‘99).

Robb Pomerantz of Des Moines captured first alternate status at with an even par 72; Joel Yunek’s 73 secured the second alternate spot.

At Wade Hampton Golf Club in Cashiers, North Carolina, the previous years Tom Norton experience paid off for Norton. He advanced to the match play bracket as the 22 seed after rounds of 78-73. Unfortunately Norton drew a tough opening round match with George Zahringer of New York. Zahringer boasts an impressive resume which includes a runner-up at the 2008 Senior Amateur, low Amateur at the 2005 and 2007 U.S. Senior Opens, and a member of the 2003 U.S. Walker Cup team. All square after three holes, untimely bogeys at 4, 6, 8, and 9 proved to be too much for Norton to overcome. Zahringer advanced to the round of 32 with a 3 and 2 win and exit the championship in the Round of 16.

Doug Hanzel, 56, of Savannah, Ga., defeated Pat O’Donnell, 59, of Happy Valley, Ore., 3 & 2 to win the championship.

U.S. Amateur Championship It should come as no surprise that with a U.S. Amateur Qualifier at his home course of Glen Oaks that Mike McCoy would perform well. McCoy posted a one-day, 36-hole total of 3-underpar 141 to earn medalist honors. The second and final qualifying spot was determined by a three-way playoff between with Jordan Zunic (Australia.), Dennis Bull (Norwalk), and Ryan Nietfeldt (Neb.), all of whom posted 144.

Zunic claimed the spot with a birdie on the first playoff hole, Bull earned the 1st alternate position with a par. That par would ultimately be very important, as Zunic was a late medical scratch

Others with Iowa ties at the championship proper included Hawkeyes Steven Ihm and Raymond Knoll, along with Cyclone Scott Fernandez. Fernandez and Ihm received exemptions based on their top 50 position in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR), while Knoll qualified in Illinois.

Fernandez nearly qualified for match play. His first round 69 put him in position, but his second round 76 at The Country Club left him one stroke outside the 64 player cut.

Matthew Fitzpatrick, 18, of England, posted a 4 and 3 victory over Oliver Goss of Australia in the final. Fitzpatrick became the first Englishman since 1911 (Harold Hilton) to hoist the Havemeyer Trophy.

Furnish carded rounds of 80-73-76 for a 229 total and a two stroke advantage over runner-up Alex Zenor. Megan’s second round 73 was the low 18-hole score of the championship. Furnish, who recently completed her freshman season at Missouri State, used memories of past success in this championship to propel her to victory. She finished tied for 6th last year at Des Moines Golf and Country Club.

The University of Northern Iowa Women’s Golf Team was well represented. Runner-up Zenor was part of a trio of Panthers in the top 4, her teammates Amanda Braun and Sarah Boss finished third and fourth respectively.

Mid-Amateur Jenny Graeser, a two-time champion, entered the final round tied for the lead and in position to add a third title to her resume, but ultimately struggled, carding an 83 and finished in a four-way tie for 5th.

In the Open Division, Kelly Nelson won the 1st flight with a three day total of 236, giving her a six stroke advantage over Robin Webb of Clive.

In third was Janece Schwartkopf of Stuart, who recorded scores of 82-80-81. In the 2nd flight, Nicki Lamb of Greenfield posted three consecutive scores of 90 to finish one stroke ahead of Mary Nelson and Ila Gilbert, both of Ankeny.

The Fladoos Trophy is named in honor of Jacque (Fladoos) Peters and Sharon (Fladoos) Smallwood, both of whom were inducted into the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame in 2013.

Kubesheski Wins Second Consecutive Championship Consecutive sub-80 rounds helped defending champion Rose Kubesheski to capture the 48th Iowa Senior Women’s Amateur Championship.

The 18-hole lead belonged to 2008 champion Beth Duenow of St. Ansgar, who fired a championship low 6-over-par 77. Duenow and Kubesheski (79) were the only competitors to break 80 on day one at Elmwood Country Club in Marshalltown.

It was Kubesheshki’s third Iowa Women’s Senior Championship in four years. Duenow has finished runnerup to Kubusheshki’s back-to-back title stretch.

In the Super Senior Division, Carol Dethrow of Nevada carded rounds of 85-85 for a 170 total. Karol Hare of Johnston finished five strokes back to garner runner-up honors.

Cilek entered match play as the number 1 seed, after earning medalist honors for a qualifying round of 3-over-par 75. Cilek’s quarterfinal match against Upper Iowa golfer Christy Nelson was her closest of the championship, which she won 3 and 2. Her next match against former Iowa State golfer Kendra Hennigsen, setting up a Cy-Hawk showdown. Cilek cruised to a 5 and 4 victory.

On the other side of the bracket, Grouwinkel was seeded 2nd after a 78 in the qualifying round. She won her first round match against Meagan Bewley 6 and 5. Grouwinkel’s quarterfinal opponent happened to be a familiar face: University of Iowa teammate Anna DePalma.

The match ended in favor of Grouwinkel, 6 and 4. Her semifinal opponent, Iowa State senior Katie Gustafson provided a close match, but an eagle down the stretch helped Grouwinkel to 3 and 1 victory.

While Cilek and Grouwinkel have played numerous times at Finkbine, this time the IGA Women’s Match Play Title was on the line. Cilek started off hot, 3-under-par through her first nine holes. Grouwinkel struggled throughout the match, dropping eight of the first nine holes.

A lost ball on 11 by Grouwinkel clinched the victory for Cilek.

In Memoriam Dr. Bob Gitchell, Ames

Dr. Bob Gitchell of Ames passed away on Tuesday, December 18th, 2012. “Gitch” was devoted to the game of golf and his infectious positive attitude will be missed by all. He was 71 years old.

Gitchell had great success on the golf course and at IGA events. He was the champion of the inaugural Iowa MidAmateur in 1986 at Jester Park GC. He also won the 1995 Iowa Senior Amateur at Mason City CC and two sanctioned point events, the 1985 Iowa Masters and the 1987 Fort Dodge Amateur.

In 2010 Dr. Gitchell served as the Honorary Captain of the IGA Amateur team at the annual Iowa Cup Matches.

Under his guidance, the amateurs squeaked out a one point win over the top Iowa PGA Professionals at The Harvester Golf Club.

Iowa Golf Hall of Fame - 2006

Bill Rose, Des Moines

William Patrick Rose, 83, of Des Moines, passed away peacefully on February 17, 2013 surrounded by his loving family.

A Korean War veteran, Rose turned professional around 1950 and started working for former PGA Champion Johnny Revolta in Evanston, Ill. That’s also where Bill started to teach the game. He eventually got the job as head professional at The Wakonda Club in Des Moines in 1960. The father of eight children with his wife, Robin, Bill left Wakonda for a more stable living in the insurance business. The change in occupations didn’t extinguish his love of teaching. He still gave lessons. One of his pupils, Mike McCoy, has won more major state championships than any golfer in Iowa history. “He enthusiastically worked with me to develop my technical skills, but his real legacy was his positive approach to the game,’’ McCoy said. “Bill taught me skills to believe in myself that I still draw upon to this day.’’

Rose also served a spell in the 1970s as golf coach at Drake. In the 1980s, he taught golf at Dowling High School in West Des Moines. The Maroons, never a power previously, won five state titles in rapid order. “Good players, yes,’’ said Robb Pomerantz of Des Moines. “But Bill was the 15th club for sure.’’ Charles Reeves, another Rose protege, started a company called Michael Jordan Golf. Reeves arranged a game of golf between Rose and Jordan at The Merit Club in Chicago. On the 15th hole, Jordan asked Rose for some advice. Jordan listened. His next shot split the middle of the fairway. “The man (Rose) simply has a gift very few possess,’’ Reeves said.

Steve Lynn, Ames Steve Lynn, 61, of Ames, passed away on January 16th, 2013. Steve joined the ISU Men’s Track team as an assistant coach in 1980 and became the head coach in 1993, a position he held until 2007. While in Ames, Steve became a very active figure in the golf community. He served on the Iowa Masters Committee the past dozen years prior to his untimely death. He brought forward many ideas to improve the event.

In addition to his service to the Iowa Masters, he was involved in numerous other golf events in Ames.

Whether it was the Veenker/Ames G & CC Ryder Cup Matches, the city tournament or anything else golf related; Steve was most likely involved.

A memorial stone was placed at the 1st tee at Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames just prior to the 2013 Iowa Masters that quoted Steve, “Friends don’t keep score. They just do what is needed.”

Ed Wilkinson, Bettendorf

Gene Eherenfeldt, Bettendorf

Ed Wilkinson, 80, of Bettendorf, passed away on June 20th, 2013 after an extended illness. Ed enjoyed playing, coaching and watching all sports and he particularly enjoyed serving as a captain for the IGA’s Course Rating team based in the Quad Cities area. Prior to his illness he was involved in and led many course ratings over the past decade.

Gene Eherenfeldt, 78, of Bettendorf, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 20th, 2013 after having suffered a massive stroke the previous day. Gene was an active member of the Quad Cities community who had a passion for the game of golf. Gene had participated in numerous course ratings over the past few years. He also served as a captain, assisting with the process of scheduling ratings and leading a team of individuals through the course rating process while on site at courses.

The IGA is grateful to both gentlemen for giving back to a game they loved through their volunteerism. The entire IGA family was saddened by the loss of Ed and Gene, they will be missed.

Yearly inductions have occurred since.

The Iowa Golf Hall of Fame Committee consists of representatives of the IGA, the Iowa Section PGA, the Iowa Golf Course Superintendents Association, the golf media and independent members with a strong interest in researching the history of Iowa Golf.

IGAF Golf Marathon

On Monday, October 8th 10 hardy souls braved the cold fall temperatures and hit the opening tee shots in the 1st IGAF Golf Marathon. By the end of the day these individuals had played 100 holes of golf (a few more for some!) and raised nearly $18,000 for the Herman Sani Scholarship Fund!

To complete the marathon the participants had to play at brisk pace, executing golf shots with nothing more than a quick glance at the target before swinging away. It was fun to watch this process repeat as they completed lap after lap around The Briarwood Club of Ankeny. Pace of play was not an issue!

It was a great way to spend a day, continuing the efforts to Secure the Sani!

Iowa Golf Hall of Fame Committee Report

Class of 2013 Inductees Jon Brown

Urbandale Amateur Golfer

Jon Brown has been one of the best amateur players in Iowa golf history. He is a two-time IGA Player of the Year (2004 & 06) and finished no lower than second in the rankings between 2003 and 2008. In 2011 he won the Des Moines City Championship for the seventh straight time and has nine titles overall. At one point during his streak of victories he reeled off 15 consecutive subpar rounds. In the three years prior to this streak, Brown was runner-up three times, giving him a decade of finishing no worse than second. Brown has had 18 victories in IGA or IGA sanctioned point events, second all-time behind 2011 Hall of Fame inductee Mike McCoy. In 2006, Brown became the first player in 20 years to win both the Iowa Amateur and IGA Match Play titles in the same year, the two most prestigious amateur events in Iowa.

Edith Estabrooks

Dubuque Amateur Golfer (Historical Selection)

The headline read “Little Miss Iowa Looms as Coming Star in Golfdom.” The subject was 12-year-old Edith Estabrooks of Dubuque who had played her way to the quarterfinals of the Iowa Women’s Amateur Championship in 1933. Two years later she won her first of four State titles taking the trophy in 1935, 36, 37 and 39. Estabrooks also proved herself nationally at the Western Girl’s Junior when she won in 1936 at age 15 at the famed Oakland Hills CC in Detroit. Still a teenager, Edith went on to a runner-up finish in the Women’s Western Amateur in 1938 losing to a future LPGA and USGA champion, the great Patty Berg. In 1939, Estabrooks returned to Oakland Hills to win the Women’s Western. In the 36-hole match play final she defeated Ellamae Williams of Chicago 8 & 6 which was the largest winning margin in the 39 year history of the championship.

Sharon (Fladoos) Smallwood

Dubuque Amateur Golfer (Historical Selection)

In 1956 at the age of 13, Sharon Fladoos became the youngest golfer to advance to the semifinals of the USGA Girls’ Junior Championship. That same year she was runner-up at the Iowa Girls’ Junior and the Iowa Women’s Championships. She was the Iowa Junior Girls’ Amateur champion and the Iowa High School Tournament medalist four consecutive years, 1958 -1961 and added three consecutive Iowa Women’s Amateur titles in 1960-62. In national competition she was runner-up in the Western Junior Girl’s Championship in 1958 to future LPGA star and World Golf Hall of Famer Carol Mann. She was runner-up again in 1959 and won the Western Junior title in 1960. She returned to the USGA Junior limelight in 1960 as runner-up and was the #1 ranked junior nationally in 1960.

Jacque (Fladoos) Peters

Dubuque Amateur Golfer (Historical Selection)

Five years younger than sister Sharon, Jacque extended the Fladoos streak in Iowa High School golf to six years by winning the medal in 1962 and 1963; she came back to win again in 1965.

Jacque also put her name on the Iowa Girl’s Junior Amateur once, in 1963. Jacque matched Sharon with three Iowa Women’s Amateur titles with victories in 1966, 67 and 69. She almost matched another achievement of her sister when she advanced to the semi-finals of the USGA Junior Girl’s Championship in 1963 at the age of 15. Jacque was inducted into the Dubuque Senior High School Sports Hall of Fame in 1996 and was part of the inaugural class with sister Sharon of the Iowa High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2008. Jacque taught school for 34 years in Upland, Calif. and passed away in 2008.

Walker Repeats as IGA Junior Player of the Year

Matthew Walker of Ottumwa became the first to win the IGA Junior Player of the Year Award twice after he ran a repeat in 2013. His season was highlighted by an individual title at the 4A Iowa High School State Championship, and a 2nd place finish at the PGA Junior Iowa Section Championship, and an eventual berth into the national tournament, where he made the cut and placed 20th. Walker also played well when competing in against all ages, placing T8th at the Iowa Masters in July and notching a top ten a month later at the Herman Sani Tournament (T9).

Walker narrowly edged out Jeffery Swegle of West Des Moines, whose season was highlighted by a trip to he U.S. Junior Amateur played at Martis Camp in Truckee, Calif., where he qualified for match play and advanced to the Round of 32.

Andrew Huseman of Ankeny, who was the runner up to Walker in the 4A State Championship, made a run late in the season, winning the Briarwood Amateur on his home course in Ankeny.

Player of the Year

McCoy’s USGA Win Fuels

After 37 chances at a USGA Championship, Mike McCoy made the 38th count. Already one of the most decorated amateur golfers in Iowa, McCoy captured the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship in dominating fashion, defeating Bill Williamson 8 and 6 in the 36 hole final. McCoy is the second oldest U.S. Mid-Amateur Champion, behind only 2011 champion Randal Lewis (54).

With the win McCoy, 50, of West Des Moines, secured his 11th Iowa Player of the Year Award, extending his own record. A historic year already for McCoy, he also added the Iowa Senior Player of the Year Award in his first year eligible. He is the first player to capture both awards in the same year. Maybe most impressive is that McCoy has now won the award in four different decades. Beyond all the awards, the win also virtually assures McCoy of an invite to next years Masters. McCoy’s season also included his second win at the Coleman Invitational at Seminole Golf Club in Florida. He also qualified for the U.S. Senior Open and was the medalist at the U.S. Amateur Qualifier.

Mike McCoy

The Mid-Amateur title gave McCoy just enough to pass good friend Gene Elliott, 51, of West Des Moines in both races. Elliott had an outstanding year in his own right, winning his fourth Iowa Mid-Amateur Championship in May and captured the 111th Iowa Amateur Championship in July. It was Elliott’s third Iowa Amateur title, putting him in historic company as one of 11 players to win three Iowa Amateur Championships. He also won the Crump Cup at Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey and Points had runner-up finishes at the Lake Creek and Rank Player Player of the Year Briarwood Amateurs.

Senior Player of the Year

Historic Awards Sweep

In the Senior Player of the Year race, McCoy’s historic victory vaulted him up from 14th place to 1st, surpassing Gene Elliott and 2nd place finisher Joe Palmer. Palmer, 50, of West Des Moines, was poised to claim the award in his first year eligible after winning the Iowa Senior Amateur Championship, the senior division of the Herman Sani Tournament, and the Iowa Senior Match Play. The Senior Match Play looked like it would be the deciding factor in the race, with Elliott and Palmer both close in points and the tournament being the last IGA point event. When they met in the quarterfinals of the Senior Match Play, it was a battle not only to advance but also to knock the other one out of the points race. Palmer came from 4 holes down with 12 to play to win with a 25 foot birdie putt on the 18th hole.

Palmer also finished as the runner-up in the senior divisions at the Iowa Mid-Amateur, the Fort Dodge Amateur, and the Briarwood Amateur.

Elliott made his own run at an awards sweep, placing well at several Senior events. Elliott won the Lake Creek Iowa Senior Amateur Amateur senior division, and placed runner-up at the Iowa Champion Joe Palmer (L) and Senior Amateur to Palmer, in addition to his success in the runner-up Gene Elliott Player of the Year Awards race.

Several familiar faces claimed the next few spots on the Senior Player of the Year board, with Bill Manske of Algona placing fourth.

Manske won the senior division of the Carroll Amateur and took second in the senior divisons of the Iowa Masters, Briarwood Amateur and the Lake Creek Amateur. Two-time Senior Player of the Year Jim Curell of Boone was a consistent performer as well, with 6 top tens and runner-up finishes in the senior division of the Herman Sani Tournament and the IGA Four-Ball with partner Dan Naughton.

A National Champion!

Mike McCoy and the Robert T. Jones Jr. Trophy

41

U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship Michael McCoy is finally a USGA Champion. He has qualified to play in a USGA Championship 38 times and, after some near misses, finally came out on top at the 2013 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship.

McCoy sailed through stroke play qualifying (68-72) at The Country Club of Birmingham in Alabama to earn the 9-seed in the match play draw. After facing a tight match in round one, the West Des Moines Insurance Executive found his groove over the club’s West Course, steamrolling his way through opponents to win a title he had been chasing for over 30 years.

In addition to claiming custody of the Robert T. Jones, Jr. Memorial Trophy for the next 12 months, McCoy ‘s win virtually assures him an invitation to participate in The Masters Tournament in April.

Round of 64 1-up over Bobby Leopold (R.I.) The first round match would ultimately be McCoy’s toughest test. He controlled much of the first nine holes and held on to a 1-up lead at the turn. A birdie by Leopold at the 12th squared the match and then the opponents started trading shots. McCoy birdied 13 to get back to 1-up, Leopold came back to win the 14th, McCoy then won 15 with a birdie, only to see Leopold birdie 16 to square the match again. After both made par on 17, McCoy drained a long par putt on the 18th to win the match 1-up, setting him off on his memorable run.

Round of 32 4 & 2 over Scott Rowe (Ill.) In the second round, McCoy got off to a slow start. Rowe won the first two holes and was 2-up through three. McCoy came back to win the fourth and fifth holes to square the match but a birdie at the seventh by Rowe followed by halves on the next three left McCoy 1 down through 10 holes. McCoy then went on a roll. He won the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th with pars to go 3-up, halved the 15th and then birdied the 16th to take the match 4 & 2.

Round of 16 2 & 1 over Zach Atkinson (Texas) Once again, McCoy had to overcome a slow start. He lost the first two holes and remained 2-down through 10 holes. He caught fire early in the back nine to change the momentum in the match. McCoy birdied 11, made par on 12 and 13 and birdied the 14th to win four straight holes and take a 2-up lead with four to play. Halves on the 15th, 16th and 17th holes earned a 2 & 1 win which would be his second-closest match of the championship.

42

Quarterfinals 7 & 6 over Bradley Bastion (Mich.)

The back-nine runs he made in his second and third round matches foreshadowed the golf McCoy would play in the quarterfinals and beyond. McCoy avoided the 2-down deficit he had fallen into in rounds two and three with halves on the first two holes in his match with Bastion. In fact, he would never lose a hole to the Michigan resident, winning the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th holes to take a 6-up lead. A brief respite for Bastion came when he halved the 9th, but McCoy won the 10th and then halved 11 and 12 closed out the match 7 & 6. McCoy made five birdies during the 12 holes played including a stretch of three in a row and four out of five.

Semifinals 4 & 3 over Kevin Marsh (Nev.) McCoy’s semifinal match brought his most decorated opponent, Kevin Marsh of Henderson, Nev. Marsh was the 2005 U.S. Mid-Amateur Champion, in addition to reaching the quarterfinals in 2004 and semifinals in 2007. Unfortunately for Marsh, he ran into McCoy’s best round of the tournament.

Starting off strong with a birdie on the 1st hole, McCoy would win 3 with a par and then birdie the next three holes, posting a 31 on the front nine, leading to a 4 up lead. Marsh tried to make a move, but McCoy answered. A birdie on 13 gave McCoy a four hole advantage once again, one he would not relinquish in his 4 & 3 victory. For his round, with the usual match play concessions, McCoy was 6-under-par over the 15 hole match, with no bogeys on the scorecard.

Championship Match 8 & 6 over Bill Williamson (Ohio) The 36-hole championship match began with an ominous start for both players. With 1st tee nerves no doubt a factor, Williamson won the first hole with a double-bogey 6. The two then tied with bogeys on two before McCoy began to settle down and take control of the match. A birdie on four squared the match and par on 5 gave him a lead he would never relinquish. McCoy won 12 with a short birdie putt and then capitalized on Williamson’s mistakes on 17 and 18 to increase his lead to five holes at the break. McCoy continued to pour it on during the second 18, winning the 20th (4), 23rd (5), and 24th (6) holes to increase his lead to eight holes.

A bogey on the 27th hole (8) was just a brief speed bump, and when he stuck his wedge close on the 30th hole (12) for birdie, McCoy claimed his first USGA Championship 8 & 6!

About the Champion...

• Elliott is one of 11 men to win the Iowa Amateur at least three times • Elliott also won the Mid-Amateur Championship in May • Gene’s third victory of the year came in September at the prestigious Crump Cup played at Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey

By Rick Brown, Des Moines Register AMES, IA. — So just how did Gene Elliott win his third Iowa Amateur golf championship Sunday? Here’s the long and short of it.

Elliott, 51, used a short putter on long putts and a long putter on short putts. It resulted in a 54-hole score of 3-under 210 at Coldwater Golf Links and a one-shot victory over Dane Worley of Cedar Rapids.

“I won the [Iowa] Mid-Amateur in May using a short putter,” Elliott said. “Right after that, I couldn’t make anything, so I went back to the long putter. But I just don’t feel like I can run the tables with a long putter.

A month ago, I took the 3-iron out of the bag and decided to use the long one on short putts and the short one on long putts.”

The strategy worked, to the tune of a final-round 71. The West Des Moines golfer now has an Iowa Amateur hat trick, winning in 2000 at the Ottumwa Country Club and in 2011 at Glen Oaks in West Des Moines.

Elliott became the 11th man to win the Iowa Amateur crown at least three times.

Elliott was named to Global Golf Post’s All Mid-Amateur Second-Team in December

“It’s great company to be in, and I’m honored,” said Elliott, who joined Art Bartlett, John Jacobs, Mike McCoy, Bob McKee, Rod Bliss Jr., H.H. Ferguson, Rudy Knepper, Bob Leahy, Denmar Miller, and Bill Sheehan in that exclusive club.

Worley, 20, who will be a junior at Drake, had his second runner-up finish in as many weeks. He finished second in the amateur division of the Waterloo Open on July 21. Worley started Sunday’s final round with a twoshot lead over Elliott after rounds of 66-71.

But Elliott went from two down to one up at the turn, shooting a 1-under 35 to Worley’s 38. Elliott had a one-shot edge over Worley for the final six holes.

The two matched scores over those six, letting Elliott get his name on the trophy for a third time.

“Dane was more than worthy,” Elliott said. “He had some early bogeys, but held it together real well after that.”

Worley finished with a final-round 74 and a 2-under 211 total.

“Runner-up is nothing to be ashamed about,” Worley said. “My time will come.

Gene’s a veteran at this. He knows how to Drake golfer (2011 Herman Sani Scholar) Dane handle himself under the gun.”

Worley is the first to congratulate Gene Elliott (R) on his third Iowa Amateur Title

It looked like Tanner Kesterson of Fort Dodge might steal the show for a good part of the day. The Oklahoma State golfer, who spends his summers in Fort Dodge, shot a 6-under-par 30 on the front nine to get into contention.

Kesterson birdied six of Coldwater’s first seven holes, bogeyed the par-3 eighth and then birdied No. 9 to turn in 30. He got to 7-under for the round and 2-under for the championship with a birdie at the 14th, but a bogey at 16 cost him a share of second. His 65 was the low round of the tournament.

Tanner Kesterson’s final round 65 was the lowest of the championship, which propelled him to a 3rd place finish

Elliott has stuggled at times in his distinguished career with short putts. But his two-putter approach, as well as solid chipping around the greens, paved the way to his victory.

“I chipped and putted very well all three days, and I don’t say that very often,” Elliott said. “I pitched it in there to three, four or five feet a lot. And I was able to convert on the short putts with my long putter.”

Vandersee Bests Teammate For Match Play Title

With the IGA Match Play Championship being contested at Finkbine Golf Course, home of the University of Iowa’s golf team, it was only fitting the final match featured two Hawkeyes. In the end, Ian Vandersee defeated teammate Ryan Marks 2 & 1 to take the title.

Marks controlled the match through the first nine holes, making birdies at 6 and 7, amassing a 3-up lead at the turn.

West Des Moines native Vandersee fought back with a birdie at 10 and pars at 12 & 13 to square the match. Halves on 14 and 15 kept the match tight, until Vandersee made a clutch 6-foot par putt on 16 to take the lead. Another knee-knocker on 17 closed out the match for Vandersee. This was the second time Marks has come up

Vandersee qualified with a round of 75, earning him the 32 seed. A win in the opening round of match play against Sam Zoske of Marshalltown set up a round of 32 match against number 1 seed and teammate Nate Yankovich. Vandersee’s 4 & 3 vicotry earned him a match with another familiar face, Ben Juffer of West Des Moines.

Juffer and Vandersee grew up in the same neighborhood in West Des Moines.

The match was close all the way till the 18th, when Vandersee executed an incredible shot from the trees to halve the hole and take the match 1-up.

The semifinals brought Vandersee his third Iowa City affiliated opponent, this time former Hawkeye Jeff Collett of Ottumwa. The match was very even, with Vandersee holding on to his slight lead on the back nine for a 2 & 1 victory, securing his spot in the final match.

After a qualifying round of 72 to obtain the 10 seed, Marks ousted his opening round opponent, Dale Morrison of Cedar Rapids, 7 & 6. The round of 32 proved tougher, as George Qian of Bettendorf kept it close down the stretch.

Marks eventually took control, winning 3 & 2.

Marks’ opponent for the round of 16 was J.D. Anderson, who was a two-time runner up in this event. Marks prevailed 4 & 3 to set up a Quarterfinal match with former Hawkeye and Iowa Golf Hall of Famer Gene Elliott of West Des Moines. Elliott stood on the 16th tee 2-up, but bogeys on 16 and 17 set the match back to all square heading to 18. Marks played his approach shot to a foot for a conceded birdie that ended the match.

Marks’ semifinal oppnent, Josh Black of Oelwein, gave him a tight match as well, though Marks eventually pulled out a 4 & 2 victory.

This IGA Match Play Championship had a decidedly black and gold flavor, with several current and former Hawkeyes present. All told, eight past and present Hawkeye golfers competed, with six making the quarterfinals, three in the semifinals, and an all Hawkeye final.

Herman Sani Tournament 64th Herman Sani Tournament August 9 - 11

Urbandale Pro Wins Sani on Familiar Turf

By Rick Brown, Des Moines Register Norwalk, Ia. -- One more. That’s what Chad Proehl was thinking Sunday. One more birdie.

He was 2 under par for the tournament, and knew one more birdie down the stretch at the Echo Valley Country Club might put a lock on the Herman Sani Tournament.

Echo Valley Country Club Norwalk Par 71 Open: 6,930 yards Senior: 6,391 yards

About the Champion...

• This was the first year the Sani was hosted by Echo Valley Country Club • Proehl fired a championship low 4-under-par 67 on the final day • He defeated Ian Vandersee and Nate McCoy in a playoff for the final spot at the U.S. Open Local Qualifier

“Those last five holes, I was just burning the edge,” said the 45-year-old Urbandale professional. “Left, right, just missing them.”

But Proehl rolled in an 18-footer for birdie on the 18th green for a final-round 4-under-par 67, which provided the cushion he needed.

“I told myself I wanted to make sure I got it there,” Proehl said. “Thank God it hit the hole.”

Proehl, 45, finished at 3-under-par 210. That was two shots better than Algona pro Josh Manske, who closed with a 69, and secondround leader Jeff Panek of Urbandale, who shot 73.

Chad Proehl’s 54-hole total of 3-under-par 210 was highlighted by a final round 67

Previewing The Sani in 2014 • The IGA administered the Herman Sani Tournament in 2013, and will continue to do so in the future.

• The championship will be played at Hyperion Field Club in 2014, followed by Echo Valley Country Club in 2015.

• Volunteering is a big part of the Sani.

We would like to thank the over 60 volunteers from Echo Valley who helped make this years tournament a success.

Joe Palmer’s six straight birdies on the back nine put an exclamation mark on his Senior Division title, closing with a fantastic final round of 6-under-par 65

Open Division - (P) designates Pro To Par (71) R1 R2 R3

Proehl collected a $3,000 first-place check and won at a place that still feels like home. He was the head pro at Echo Valley from 1997 to 2002.

And when he heard that the Sani was moving in 2013, from Hyperion Field Club in Johnston to Echo Valley, he thought about how nice it would be to win there.

“I felt like this week was going to be very special,” Proehl said.

Joe Palmer of West Des Moines shot a final-round 65 and won the senior division by four shots with a 54-hole score of 208. Palmer’s winning run in the final round started with a birdie at the 9th hole. An errant tee shot on the 10th led to a lost ball, and Palmer made bogey. He then birdied the next six holes.

Proehl opened with a first-round 74 on Friday, six shots behind leader Dennis Bull of West Des Moines. But when Bull, a member at Echo Valley, withdrew on the morning of the second round after getting into the U.S. Amateur, it was a brand new tournament.

Proehl played the final two rounds in 6 under par on a championship course that used a combination of the Vale and Ridge nines. Echo Valley is a 27-hole layout.

“This golf course is so good,” Proehl said. “So good. And some people don’t know about it.”

PACE OF PLAY INITIATIVE

Play Nine

Sometimes, the best pace of play solution for those pressed for time is to play a nine-hole round. Contrary to the beliefs of some golfers, a nine-hole round is fully compatible with both the Rules of Golf and the USGA Handicap System.

Alternate Formats of Play

Stroke play – holing out on every hole – may be the most popular form of golf in the United States, but it’s not necessarily the quickest. Match play, Stableford, four-ball and other formats can be easy and fun alternatives to stroke play and may improve pace of play.

In addition, there are other forms of play like speed golf that can drastically reduce the time it takes to play a round.

While these formats may not work for everyone, they may help to spur further discussion and encourage golfers to think about pace of play in new ways.

Tee it Forward

Introduced in 2011, TEE IT FORWARD is a joint initiative between the USGA and The PGA of America that encourages players to play from a set of tees best suited to their driving distance. In addition to providing more enjoyment for golfers, teeing it forward also can be one of the most important steps that golfers take in improving pace of play.

Weather Shortens Event, Iowa Pros Reclaim Cup

The Iowa Section PGA Professionals reclaimed the Iowa Cup after a four year absence, 16 to 14. A snow/wind/rain forecast shortened the matches to just one day. The Tournament Committee made the decision to forgoe the Foursomes (alternate shot) matches and instead play the Singles matches in the afternoon, with the Four-Ball matches taking place earlier in the morning. The amateurs had a 1 point lead after the Four-Ball matches, 5.5 to 4.5. The afternoon belonged to the Iowa Section Pros, who commanded the singles matches 11.5-8.5 to win the cup for the first time since 2008.

The amateur squad was led by J.D. Anderson, Dustin Atkinson, Mike Slavin and Justin Schulte who each earned two points for the amateurs. Following close behind were Jon Brown and Ben Kern who each captured 1½ points. On the PGA side, Sean McCarty, Chad Proehl, and Zach Vervaecke each had a perfect record for the day.

While snow shortened the competition to just one day, Bos Landen Golf Course provided a wonderful test for the players.

Iowa Senior Amateur Championship Palmer’s Steadiness Prevails at Iowa Senior Amateur 35th Iowa Senior Amateur Championship June 28 - 30

Tournament Club of Iowa, Polk City Par 71 Championship: 6,454 yards Super Senior: 6,087 yards

About the Champion...

Joe Palmer fired a final round even-par 71, hitting an impressive 17 of 18 greens in regulation at the Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City to claim the 35th Iowa Senior Amateur Championship. Palmer, of West Des Moines, finished with a three day total of 3-over-par 216 to edge final round fellow competitor Gene Elliott. Elliott, who captured the Iowa Mid-Am title in May and would go onto to win the 111th Iowa Amateur a few weeks later, closed with a 75 for a 217 total.

The lead changed several times amongst the final pairing of Palmer, Elliott, and Bob Brummel of Orange City. Palmer was steady in the final round, carding 2 birdies and 2 bogeys.

Second round leader Elliott stumbled early with bogeys on 5 and 7, and a double bogey on 6.

Elliott watched several putts stop inches short of the hole all day, including a putt to tie on the closing hole. Palmer proceeded to convert a two-putt par and claim the championship in his first year of eligibility. Brummel, who won the championship two years earlier, was oneunder-par for his first eight holes but was unable to keep it going. He played the final 10 holes in five-over-par to finish two shots back at 218.

In the Super Senior Division, Scott Carnes of Hiawatha finished several strokes ahead of the pack after carding a final round two-over-par 73. His three day total of 221 was eight strokes clear of a steady playing Lee Sullivan of Ankeny who posted 76-76-78.

The 28th Iowa Mid-Amateur marked Gene Elliott’s 4th win in the event Elliott previously captured Iowa Mid-Amateur titles in 1998, 2000 & 2009 Elliott was inducted into the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame in 2012

Elliott Wins 4th Title Coming off of a great 2012 season in which he won IGA Senior Player of the Year honors, Gene Elliott continued his winning ways in early 2013 by capturing the Iowa Mid-Amateur at Ames Golf & Country Club.

Elliott put together a final round 2-over par 73 to finish two strokes ahead of 2011 champion Jon Olson. The win was Elliott’s 4th Iowa Mid-Amateur title, with previous victories coming in 1998, 2000, and 2009.

Heavy rains fell on the golf course just days prior to the championship, leaving significant amounts of standing water. Conditions required golf course superintendent Mark Newton and his staff to create some alternative routes for carts to navigate around the soggy grounds. Holes 7, 8 and 9 were saturated to the point that carts were not even a possibility, walking only was required for the competitors as they closed out the front nine.

Champion Gene Elliott captured his 4th career Iowa Mid-Amateur Title

The wet conditions combined with cold temperatures and harsh winds on the final day for extremely difficult scoring conditions. Elliott’s final round of 2 birdies against 4 bogeys was an incredible display of patience and toughness.

Olson started the day one shot back. A solid final round 74 was not enough to pass the steadiness of Elliott’s play. This was his second straight runner-up finish in the championship after winning at Centennial Oaks in Waverly in 2011.

Bob Brummel’s 4-over-par 75 was the lowest final round in the senior division. He started the day tied with Joe Palmer, who both posted opening round scores of 71. As the final round progressed, the weather and the conditions applied increasing pressure on the field.

(L-R) - Joe Palmer, Bob Brummel, Gene Eliott and Jon Olson

54

Brummel avoided the big number, carding nothing worse than a bogey in 36 holes to edge Palmer by two strokes. Palmer won Iowa MidAm 2004 and fell just short in his bid to capture the senior division in his first year of eligibility.

Joel Yunek started the day one back and held the lead after making his 5th consecutive par on 14. A late triple bogey dropped him from contention, leaving him three shots behind Brummel in solo third.

Iowa Junior Amateur Championship Tripp Kinney Blows Away the Field, Qian Wins 16-18 Iowa Junior Amateur Championship June 10 - 11

It took 2 extra holes, but in the end George Qian of Bettendorf came from behind to win the 16-18 year old division at the Iowa Junior Amateur Championship at Ottumwa Country Club. Qian finished the final round tied with Parker Howe of Clive at two-over-par 146 and then went on to beat Howe in the playoff.

Qian started the day one shot back after a first round 74. The lead changed hands a few times between Qian and first day co-leaders Howe and Matthew Walker of Ottumwa. But as Qian made his way to the final hole, he found himself in the same position as he did at the start of the day, one shot back. He made par on the hole while Howe made a bogey.

Walker, the 2012 16-18 Champion (as a 15 year old), finished tied for third in the 2013 edition of the championship.

Aaron Wirt of Des Moines made a furious comeback on the final day, but came up just short. Starting the day seven shots back, Wirt posted a championships best 5-under-par 67 that included six birdies to finish one stroke out of the playoff.

In the 14 & 15 age division, Tripp Kinney of West Des Moines proved why he is one of the best junior players in the state. After posting a first round 73, which gave him a seven shot lead, Kinney came out firing on all cylinders, carding a 4-under-par 68, which included four birdies and no bogeys. His two day total of 141 was good for a 13 shot victory over

IGA Four-Ball Championship Waller and Juffer Triumph in Extra Holes

They may have been rivals in college, but at the 18th IGA Four Ball they partnered for a victory at The Ridge Golf Club in Sioux Center. Ben Juffer, who just finished his college career at Kansas State, and Blake Waller, who recently completed his sophomore season at Iowa State, defeated Bret Taylor and J.D. Anderson on the first playoff hole to win the title.

18th IGA Four-Ball Championship May 24 - 25

The Ridge Golf Club, Sioux Center Par 71 Open: 7,005 yards Senior: 6,539 yards

About the Champions...

• Waller and Juffer made 1 eagle, 6 birdies and 1 bogey over 36 holes • The duo partnered together in 2012 at Bos Landen to finish 3rd, one stroke shy of a playoff •

Juffer advanced to the Round of 16 at the 2013 IGA Match Play Championship, losing to eventual champion Ian Vandersee

• Senior Champions Tom Schill and David Studer made 1 eagle, 8 birdies and 2 bogeys in 36 holes

With Juffer and Waller already in the clubhouse at 7-under 135, Taylor and Anderson found themselves one shot back on the final hole. Neither drive found the fairway, and Anderson’s approach was well short. Needing a birdie, Taylor guided in his approach from the right rough to a few feet, and promptly sank the putt to force a playoff.

After making the clutch putt on the last hole, Anderson and Taylor couldn’t find the fairway with their tee shots, and both ended up in the greenside hazard on their approachs, ensuring the win for the Big 12 rivals.

This was the second straight year Anderson & Taylor were defeated in a playoff, losing to Mike McCoy and Gene Elliott in 2012 at Bos Landen in Pella.

IGA Net Four-Ball Teams Light It Up at Innagural IGA Net Four-Ball Larry Olson and Frank Schabel, both of Ames, teamed up to win the 1st IGA State Net Four-Ball Championship contested at Otter Creek Golf Course in Ankeny. The team started out hot, carding 8 birdies against a lone par on the front nine on their way to carding a 14-under-par net score of 57.

Otter Creek GC Ankeny July 8

Close on their heels with a net 58 was Matt Pauli of Cedar Falls and teammate Larry Zars of Denver. The duo played the final three holes in 1-under-par, losing ground to Olson and Schabel and their birdie-birdie-birdie finish.

The heat and humidity didn’t seem to slow the field down. Little to no wind and excellent course conditions allowed the field to post some low net scores which are not uncommon in the four-ball format.

Mike Murray of Clive and his partner Bob Young of Des Moines finished in third place with a net 60. Seven teams were bunched up in a tie for 4th with net 61’s.

IGA State Net Championship Worthington Capture State Net Title Mike Worthington fired a net 70 at Centennial Oaks GC in Waverly to win the IGA State Net Championship. The Humboldt resident took advantage of calm early morning conditions by making 4 net birdies and a natural birdie on the front 9 for a 5-under-par 31. The familiar winds at Centennial Oaks appeared by mid-morning and Worthington had some trouble early on the back nine. He closed nicely with a long birdie putt on 18, at the time Worthington didn’t know just how big that putt would be.

Fellow competitor Doug Bacon, also of Humboldt, matched Worthington’s net 70. After posting their scores they watched the winds continue to increase.

With only eight competitors left on the course, 70 remained the low score posted.

While no one came in lower, Tony Archibald of Albia played in the penultimate pairing and carded an 81 (net 70) setting up a playoff for the trio.

Each competitor received 1/6 of their 18-hole Course Handicap for the 3-hole playoff which featured the par-4 holes 1, 2 and 9.

Worthington recorded 3 straight par-4’s for a gross total of 12 (net 10) to secure the title. Doug Bacon went around in 14 strokes (net 12), while Archibald took 16 strokes (net 14) in the playoff.

IGA Club Team Championship Hyperion, Griswold Earn Top Honors

The home team was victorious at the 8th IGA Club Team Championship. Hyperion Field Club posted a total of 1-over-par 217 to win the gross division by five strokes and become the first home team to win the title in the 8 year history of the event. On the net side, Griswold Golf and Country Club put together a team score of 8-under 208 to take first place.

The Hyperion team was led by Jeff Defrancisco who shot a 2-under par 70 and was the low individual in the event. The team also counted scores from the father and son combo of Bob (72) and Neil Johnson (75) in the four-count-three format. Jay Kramer was the fourth member of the team and also played very well, posting a 78.

The team from Des Moines Golf and Country Club was second with a 222 total. They were led by Jamie Faidley who posted a 71 and Robert Wahlert who fired a 73. Trent Drake carded a 78 and Josh Janeczko was close behind with a 79.

The net competition counts the best three of four net scores on each hole. The Griswold team of Ryan Askeland, James Hook, Ryan Kirchhoff and Mike Pelzer combined to post a 208 total. Hyperion also posted a net total of 208 but the rules of the event do not allow a team to win in both divisions. The Bent Tree Golf Club team of Scott Huttmann, Judd Knispel, David Scott and Brad Krohn finished a stroke back at 209.

USGA Amateur Status

Don’t Jeopardize Your Amateur Status or the Amateur Status of Others

Amateur Status isalliedawith universal of The Iowa Golf Association is the USGA in its effortscondition to monitor and Rules of Golf, including the Rules of Amateur Status. eligibilityenforce forthe playing in golf competitions as an Cash Prize Events amateur golfer. A person who acts contrary to the Rules may forfeit his status as an amateur golfer and as a result will be ineligible to play Waiver Requirement in amateur competitions. The purpose of the Rules is to maintain the distinction between amateur and professional golf and to ensure that Cash Prizes golf, which is largely self-regulating with amateur regard to the Rules of Golf and handicapping, is free from the pressures that may follow from uncontrolled sponsorship and financial incentive.

“Skins” Games Through appropriate limits and restrictions, the Rules are also intended to encourage amateur golfers to focus on the game’s challenges and Amateurs should not play for cash prizes of any amount in organzied events where playing for money is not optional, there are no prizes other than cash or the fact that cash prizes will be awarded is advertised. If these characteristics are present, participation in these events could result in each player forfeiting their amateur status.

It is a common misunderstanding that players may preserve their amateur status by simply accepting pro shop credit (or some other form of permissible prize) instead of a cash prize, when playing in these cash payout events. Please note that the Amateur Status Waiver Form must be signed and submitted to the USGA or IGA prior to playing in the event.

While amateur golfers are allowed to accept a prize or prize voucher not exceeding $750 in retail value (e.g., pro shop credit, Visa gift card*, a golf club, etc.), they are not permitted to play golf for prize money (e.g., cash) or its equivalent in a match, competition or exhibition - Rule 3-1 & Rule 3-2. * Visa gift cards may be awarded only if the user cannot receive cash back on purchases

A form of waigering commonly known as a “Skins” game is acceptable when it is at the option of the player, the amount of money to participate is nominal and is for entertainment purposes only.
