WVGA in a state of transition entering 2023

The West Virginia Golf Association (WVGA) is in a state of transition. The departure of Brad Ullman, the consummate organizer and the one who was dedicated to every detail essential to making the WVGA one of the best state golf associations in America, leaves a large void that must be filled. This is not an easy task. The WVGA Executive Committee has embarked on a process that hopefully leads to identification of a candidate to replace Brad. Given the depth and diversity of the talents Brad developed over his tenure with the WVGA in multiple roles and given those people in his career that helped him model his leadership style, beginning as a young man working for Larry Martin, somewhat the Godfather of junior golf in WV, Brad took the best from others and created his own comprehensive style of leadership and management.

Nevertheless, that is behind us. The Executive Committee has a fiduciary duty to the WVGA membership to seek out and employ the best possible person we can identify and who is willing to take on the substantial task of assuming the position of our Executive Director. To do that, a search and transition management committee consisting of myself, Vice President Tim McNeely, Secretary David McCormick and Treasurer Andrew Jordon, along with immediate past president Ed McCall, set upon the task of posting the job opening announcement with numerous golf industry outlets nationwide and even with international reach.

The timing of Brad’s departure, just after the first of the year, likely

led to a less than a robust number of applicants. It has been concluded that the season for persons interested in state golf association jobs to be looking for new horizons typically do so following the golf season in the November time frame. Regardless, we did get applications, and more than one, that can fulfill most of what the search and transition committee is looking for in an Executive Director. The committee will be making a recommendation to the WVGA Executive Committee in the near future.

Moreover, the time spent by the committee, which has been quite substantial, has been productive in more ways than one. It has given the WVGA officers a meaningful interlude within which to evaluate the organizational structure of the organization in terms of job functions and who does what among the staff. It also has opened discussions of how to maximize the relative talents of each for the ultimate success of the future of the organization and filling the void left by Brad Ullman’s departure.

Finally, it has given the current WVGA officers time to assess where the organization is at this time, ponder what can be done to enhance our value to the membership we now serve and what we can recommend to the WVGA Executive Committee for consideration of what we can do to grow our membership and enhance the services the WVGA can provide to our members. For now it is up to the leadership of the WVGA to marshal its collective wisdom, make a decision on the future of the organization, while committing the resources and energy it takes to succeed in maintaining the high level of proficiency with which services are delivered to the golfing community in our state.

Prevent injuries before the season opens to avoid missing a single round or tournament

By Karim Boukhemis, MD Orthopaedic Surgeon, Huntington, WV

The cool breeze, morning dew and ‘kushhhhh’ of that first cold beverage on the first tee. Golf enthusiasts know this setting all too well and yearn for it all winter. Long before you set out on the first 18 holes of the season, there are a few things you can do to prevent season-ending injuries.

We’ll start at the foot first. Common injuries, especially for walkers, include plantar fasciitis and metatarsalgia. Both injuries can be difficult to recover from mid-round and many may stop all together. Plantar fasciitis is a painful heel pain that can develop into a chronic issue if not treated early. It commonly presents as a stab-

bing pain in the bottom of the foot that can radiate into the forefoot or even toes. New shoes can be a culprit that causes initial irritation and continues to worsen symptoms if unchanged. It usually presents with a change in activity or shoe wear, and both are typical in early season golfers. NSAIDs can help to decrease inflammation but typically a stretching routine and PT can help eliminate it. The stair stretch is a very effective and inexpensive way for patients to treat PF. You would first start by hanging your heel off the end of a stair and using your body weight to initiate a calf stretch. This needs to be held for at least 5-minute intervals and repeat 3-4 times a day. Metatarsalgia is also related to tight calf muscles and can overload the metatarsal heads causing pain. Typically it is a dull achy pain at the metatarsal heads that are worse when walking barefoot. More immediate treatment can include padded orthotics, a hapad or shoe adjustment.

Moving on to the hindfoot, we have more Achilles issues. This is the popular “pump bump.” This is mostly an increase in osteophyte formation at the Achilles insertion. Many times it is a chronic issue that can get inflamed, again, brought on by an increase in activity. It can also be irritated by shoes that tend to rub more on the hindfoot. Eccentric strengthening of the calf muscles is the proven conservative treatment. If you are prone to this during the season, strengthening early prior to season start will potentially prevent any inflammation. NSAIDs or potentially a short course of steroids could help to decrease acute inflammation.

Working our way up the body, the ankle is next. Ankle instability and ankle arthritis are the more commonly aggravated issues in the early golf season. Many people remember Tony Finau’s celebration of a hole-in-one on the Master’s par 3 contest. He successfully accomplished a hole-in-one and proceeded to run

down the course to the hole, when one emphatic jump caused him to visibly dislocate his ankle. He abruptly maneuvered it back into place on live TV. This is a common issue among weekend athletes. It is not a severe issue for day-today activities but can lead to catastrophic events if left untreated. Severe repeat ankle sprains are the highest risk factor. Inability to traverse sloped grounds can be uncomfortable or not even possible. Treating with an ankle brace is a quick and easy treatment but surgery may be needed in the long run. Ankle arthritis is also common since golf can be enjoyed into your 80’s and 90’s. This is a general wear and tear of the ankle and can commonly be treated with NSAIDs, or injected steroids.

Knee injuries are rare in golf but can be a factor if improper shoe wear is worn. Golf shoes are specifically made for gripping and allowing the player to have a firm foundation. Twisting your knee is a risk in the morning dew grass which is extremely slippery in flat shoes. Injuries can include ACL, LCL or MCL. PCL injuries are less likely in golf. IT band syndrome is another overuse injury for excessive walking or activity not commonly undertaken. Pain usually is located to the outside of the knee. IT band stretching is an excellent way to prevent or even treat. Occasionally formal PT is needed to completely resolve it. Patellar tendonitis is similar in cause but is mostly located at the patellar insertion. Some patients may have suffered from “Osgood Schlatter” disease growing up. Strengthening patellar tendon insertion can be performed to prevent and treat this. NSAIDs are also very well tolerated.

Core and back injuries are more common than hip injuries. Any musculature within the core can be subject to many newtons of force during an aggressive drive. Warming up appropriately is key to preventing any and all muscle strains/ pulls. Many drills can be found to acclimatize yourself on the day prior to the round. Remember, smooth and repetitive motion is better than fast and jerky. Many portable or single use heat pads can be used on the course during the round. Deep tissue massage or a consistent stretching regimen is helpful in preventing core and back issues.

Hand and arm injuries can start with common racket sports injuries. Hook of hamate fracture occurs when a racket is abruptly stopped by a hard object, in this case the club head hitting the ground or creating a large divot. Symptoms are immediately after club contacts the ground. It is a sharp pain associated potentially by a zinging or burning pain in the hand. Diagnosis needs to be made with a hand x-ray or more specifically a carpal tunnel view. Unfortunately this isn’t something you can logically prevent but is helpful to know the symptoms and mechanism.

Shoulder injuries pertain to decreased flexibility in the shoulder gurdle. This can set the golfer up for impingement syndrome or chronic rotator cuff tears. Every golfer’s swing is unique and therefore shoulder injuries can be a direct result of the golfer’s natural swing. Either way a strong shoulder gurdle with appropriate ROM and flexibility is a great way to improve your golf game and prevent injuries.

Golf is already a very difficult sport that is simultaneously aggravating and enjoyable. Take the time to keep your body golf-ready during the off-season. Prevention is the key to many rounds of golf.

USGA P.J. Boatwright Internship Program benefits WVGA and interns

In 1991, the USGA established the P.J. Boatwright Jr. Internship Program, in which the WVGA has been participating for many years. This program is designed to give experience to individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in golf administration, while assisting state and regional golf associations in the promotion of amateur golf, on a short-term, entry level basis.

Each internship is different, since the needs vary from association to association. An intern may help conduct tournaments, junior golf programs, membership services, and other general activities that promote the best interests of golf.

The common thread running through the internship is exposure to tournament preparations, administration and post-tournament business. The nature of tournament administration will test one’s patience, initiative and decision-making abilities, as well as one’s ability to endure long hours and hard work.

A prospective intern should demonstrate strong managerial potential and a sufficient interest in golf. Golf associations that participate in the Internship Program will provide an appropriate level of orientation and ongoing training and attention. Each intern becomes an employee of the golf association, which will have primary responsibility for recruitment, and sole responsibility for compensation and supervision. Upon completion of the program, the USGA receives evaluations from both the association and the intern.

We asked our 2023 intern to share her insights into the internship and we learned a great deal from this outstanding young woman.

Our seven-month intern is Kaitlin Persinger. She is a graduate of Buffalo High School and WVU and is currently attending Louisiana State University (LSU) online majoring in sports management. After receiving her undergraduate degree in sports journalism from WVU, Kaitlin wanted to continue working in the business

of sport, and when a friend told her about the WVGA opportunity, she jumped at it. Kaitlin said her favorite parts about her internship are the good work she’s doing to help build a positive competitive network of athletes across the state, and the community atmosphere of her job. She was less enthused about the “long and painful” 40-minute commute through the construction on I-64 from Putnam, but assured this interviewer that it was more than worth the effort.

When asked about what lessons she has learned so far through her work, Kaitlin said she’s been reminded of the importance of thoroughness, making sure to always swing completely through on a project, if you will. Kaitlin’s advice for future Boatwright interns is, “Pitch in with others as much as you can, and don’t be worried about asking for help when you need it.” And of course, her most important piece of advice, “Always listen to Danielle!”

As other interns have said before, Kaitlin said it was an unbelievable experience and she wanted to thank each of the staff members and committee volunteers for the opportunity and for helping her along the way.
