Head Golf Professional
Eric Johnson Tournament Chairperson
Ev Stuart was born in 1918 in Lowell, Massachusetts. After spending his early years as an Assistant Professional in his home state, he became the Head Professional at Northland in 1954. In total he spent 34 years at the club, retiring in 1987. 31 of those years were spent in the log cabin that still stands in the woods just west of the NCC parking lot. To this date, Ev is still the longest tenured professional Northland has ever seen.
Ev was also a fantastic player. While at Northland, he played in 5 PGA Championships, 2 US Opens, and was named Minnesota Section Golf Professional of the Year in both 1967 and 1987.
In 1996 he was inducted into the Minnesota PGA Hall of Fame. Although he passed in 2010, his memory still lives on at Northland through the many members who knew, learned, and worked with him.
