2022 Year In Review

What another great year of golf in 2022. There was some great play by our PGA Professionals, our Junior Tour/Pee Wee Tour players and many more highlights in 2022 that are captured in this digital magazine. Please also click on the Iowa Golf Association Yearbook for 2022 that they produce for the many amateurs that play their events. Both Associations love to see great golf and always wish to highlight it when we can.

Little old Iowa will be at the forefront of golf in 2023 after the two major international golf competitions announced their respective Captains for the Walker Cup and the Ryder Cup in early 2022. I guess in many ways we do some great things in golf and now the world will know even more about what we all enjoy in our state.

On March 9th, Iowa Golf Hall of Famer Mike McCoy was named as the 2023 Walker Cup Captain to be held on the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland. Mike has had an impressive record in Iowa events but also on the national and international scene. McCoy is the 2015 USGA Mid-Amateur Champion and competed on the 2015 Walker Cup as a player. McCoy added to this wonderful record in 2022 by winning the R & A’s Senior Amateur Championship at Royal Dornoch. He followed his good friend and Iowa Golf Hall of Famer Gene Elliott as Gene won this same championship in 2021. It is nice to see that trophy remain in Iowa for one more year.

On February 28th, PGA of America President Jim Richerson named Iowa Golf Hall of Famer and twotime Major Champion Zach Johnson as the 30th US Ryder Cup Captain. The 2023 Ryder Cup will be held on foreign soil at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Italy. Along with Zach’s 2007 Master’s and 2015 British Open wins, he has played in five Ryder Cups as a player (2006, ’10, ’12, ’14 and ’16). He has also served as a Vice Captain in the last two Ryder Cups.

Can you believe that Iowa has the captains at both Major International Golf Competitions? I am sure that Mike and Zach only dreamed as youngsters that they could ever play in the Walker and Ryder Cups let alone serve as a Captain of their respective teams. AND they get to do it together in 2023! As the movie said, “Is this heaven?” My guess is maybe Iowa really is HEAVEN! Good luck to both as they lead their teams to victory.

It was great to see another of our PGA Members get into the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame. The 2022 Class included Mark Egly from the Des Moines Driving Range as one of the three inductees and highlighted on page ??? in this magazine. Congratulations to Mark as he joins this prestigious Hall of Fame in Iowa.

I was privileged to held introduce a long-time mentor and friend, along with Jeff Wendel and Iowa Golf Hall of Famer Doug Snook at the Hall of Fame Ceremony. The late Charlie “Pribbs” Pribble was one of the more deserving inductees into the Hall. I got lucky and hired Pribbs in 1993 to assist me in building Airport National in Cedar Rapids along with my business partner at the time, the late Mark Lemon. As described by his colleagues, he was ahead of his time. I got to see that on a daily basis as we built and grew-in Airport National. I have been lucky to have worked alongside three Iowa Golf Hall of Fame Golf Course Superintendents – Snook (2011), Steve Tyler (2010) and now Pribbs. Next time you see the Golf Course Superintendent at your course, please pull them aside and say, “Thank You for all the tireless work you do on our behalf at our facility”. I know that they would appreciate that very much. Pull me aside sometime and will tell you about Pribbs, Snook and Ty and all they did for a young PGA Professional. Plus, I have a few fun stories about them.

We had some of our PGA Professionals compete at the highest level of golf again in 2022. Sean McCarty of Brown Deer Golf played in the 2022 PGA Championship held at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma in May. See his results on Page 60.

Iowa PGA Message Continued

Chad Proehl competed in another KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship held in May at the Harbor Shores Golf Course in Michigan. You can see more results on page 61.

Judd Gibb and Jeff Schmid went through qualifying to join Gene Elliott at the USGA Senior Open held at Saucon Valley CC (Old Course) in Bethlehem, PA. Gibb and Elliott missed the cut. Schmid played well enough to make the cut and finish in a tie for 33rd place. More results from that event on page 85. Great playing at the highest levels by our top players.

As you read this magazine, enjoy the celebration of our 2022 Iowa PGA Award Winners highlighted by the first time we have ever had a tie for our PGA Professional of the Year. These men were deserving, and both are two that are so unselfish that they were the perfect pair to share this award. Matt Sherlock of MK Golf in Oskaloosa and John Panek of Davenport CC were both awarded this award at our All-Star Pro Golf Awards Luncheon held in conjunction with our Fall meetings at Riverside Casino and Golf Resort. Congratulations to all the winners.

We did have a couple of our members retire in 2022 as they stayed at their facilities for a number of years. SGM (ret) Jim Dickerson retired after 30 years of instruction at Finkbine Golf Course. Tom Hein retired after 30 plus years at Pleasant Valley Golf Course in Iowa City. Kirk Hosteng retired from Soangetaha CC in Galesburg, IL after 35 years. And the wonderful professional with the longest tenure was Gary Sutton at Macomb Country Club in Macomb, IL where he is retiring after 42 years of service to his facility.

We congratulate these men for their contributions to the game of golf, their facilities and their communities. We are pretty sure they will all continue to contribute to golf in their retirement because service is in their DNA.

Finally, I would like to thank our talented Iowa PGA Staff for all of the hard work, perseverance and dedication in 2022. With the support of our Section and Foundation Officers and Boards, our staff continues to deliver high-level events to our Section Professionals and to the Junior Golfers throughout our Section.

2022 Iowa PGA IPGA Co-Golf Professional of the Year

Matt Sherlock, PGA

Matt Sherlock the PGA General Manager, Owner and Head PGA Golf Professional of MK Golf Shops Inc. and John Panek, PGA General Manager at Davenport Country Club have been named the 2022 Iowa PGA CoGolf Professionals of the Year. The Golf Professional of the Year Award is the highest honor paid to an Iowa PGA Golf Professional. The honoree is chosen based on leadership abilities that stand above the rest, contributions made to their facility’s success, and excelling as an overall golf professional at the Iowa PGA Section level. This is the first time in the history of the Iowa PGA that there has been a tie for this award.

Sherlock and his wife Kandis manage MK Golf Shops, Inc. that leases Edmundson & Harvest Point Golf Courses in Oskaloosa and holds a management contract with the City of Pella to manage and operate Bos Landen Golf Course in Pella, Iowa. All three courses are public golf facilities. They operate and manage 45 holes of regulation golf, two name brand retail golf shops including club repair, two driving ranges, two full-service beverage bars, two full-service concession businesses and one indoor golf simulator. Their golf shop business was also nominated for Public Merchandiser of the year in 2022. They have successfully and proudly been in business for 11 years. Their staff of nearly 50 people consists of seven full time employees, a Head Superintendent with full grounds crew, golf shop staff, cart attendants, driving range attendants, four PGA professionals, one PGA associate, one retired Golf Course Superintendent and his wife Kandis, as co-owner and financial manager of the company. When we started this business, they had a staff of four people! All these great people are the reason their business works.

To do what they do successfully every

every day they need a quality and reliable staff that is thoroughly trained and loyal. They have that in their business.

Sherlock is proud to say that Jeff Smith, PGA, BG Campbell, PGA, Mike Lathrop, PGA have all contributed to their business daily. Jeff Smith manages and leads the grounds crew at their Harvest Point property, BG Campbell is on their grounds crew at Edmundson GC. If you ever get the chance to have an experienced PGA Professional enjoy retirement while helping maintain your golf course, take it. Hogan Rockhold, 2022 Assistant Golf Professional of the Year nominee, is Sherlock’s righthand person, Assistant Golf Professional, and primary golf instructor. Hogan is instrumental in their business and is going to be a leader in the Iowa PGA in the future.

Sherlock has been in the golf business his entire working life and a Class A PGA member for 11 years. Sherlock has worked at Edmundson and Harvest Point Golf Courses since he was 12 years old for respected Iowa PGA Professional, past District 8 Director, Iowa Golf Hall of Fame member and Past Iowa PGA Section President Jeff Smith, PGA. Jeff has been, and always will be, his mentor and a very close friend. Sherlock chuckles to himself that Jeff is now an employee of their company after all these years!

Sherlock is in the golf business because Jeff and his wife Lori offered him, and eventually his wife, a pathway for success. He is currently in his 28th consecutive golf season on these properties. It has been a great ride and experience. MK Golf Shops expanded to Bos Landen in 2020 and are completing their 3rd season managing this property. Between the 3 golf courses they host around 80 events per year ranging in size from 40-150 people each and they also host five golf leagues per week. Their business was always the goal, but it has progressed faster, and bigger, than they ever dreamed. They have had eleven consecutive years of generating a profit and growing our business larger, year after year. We are blessed.

Sherlock has also served the Iowa PGA Section and Iowa PGA Foundation. He was elected to the Iowa PGA Board of Directors nine years ago. After one term he was encouraged to run for the elected position of Iowa PGA Board Secretary. He won this very close election and started his time as an officer on the Iowa Section Board of Directors. He served a term as President from 2019-21 and is currently the Honorary President of the current Board of Directors. Sherlock has been involved in Section governance in some way for almost his entire Class A career and has participated and traveled as a delegate or delegate support to seven Annual meetings with four more to go. He has represented the Iowa PGA at four district meetings, dozens of Section events, Iowa PGA Foundation and strategic planning meetings during his term.

His largest challenges during his term as a section officer were the hiring of two Executive Directors in less than twelve months, expanding the section intern positions, hiring more full-time section staff members and creating a strategic plan for the future of the Iowa PGA.

A major Challenge he faced was figuring

figuring out how to function as a Board and Section during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic which tragically took the life of his dad, John Sherlock, on November 20, 2020. His motivation though this tough time was to help guide the section sensibly but still respect the seriousness and magnitude of this pandemic. He saw firsthand the impact to both his family and his business.

In 2017 he was named the Iowa High School Golf Coaches Association Golf Professional of the year for contributions made to high school golf. He worked with eleven different high school and college golf teams at their facilities as he feels it is their duty to grow the game for future generations. MK Golf Shops has supported the Iowa PGA through hosting the Iowa PGA Junior and Pee Wee tours and Drive, Chip & Putt qualifiers every year. They also offer complimentary golf and cart privileges to all GIVE program veterans and their guests and have done this since the inception of the GIVE program in 2007.

In 2021, Sherlock was extremely honored to receive the first ever Deacon Palmer Award from the Iowa PGA. This award is for a PGA Professional that has overcame personal and/or physical hardship and still positively contributed to the game of golf. He doesn’t dwell on the past health challenges of his life, but he doesn’t forget them either. Again, he is, and still is, blessed to be surrounded by amazing people that have supported him though some of the hardest but also most rewarding days of his life.

Jeff Smith, PGA, “Matt also has been very active in the governance of the Iowa Section serving as board member, all chairs of the Executive Committee, serving as President from 2019-2021. Those were two very challenging years serving our section as the COVID pandemic nearly shut down golf In Iowa. Matt was instrumental in working with his officers and the Iowa State House and Governor In convincing them that golf was a sport/activity/ business that could operate within many safety guidelines and be a healthy outlet for people to safely enjoy.

Many PGA Professionals struggled through this pandemic and Matt lead our Iowa Section and those in need with dignity and compassion. Matt also experienced two very personal challenges in going through back surgery and, sadly, losing his father due to COVID. Matt continues to stay active in our section stepping up to remain on the Iowa Section PGA Board of Directors as Past President for two additional years.”

Erin Strieck, President- Iowa PGA & Iowa Golf Foundation, Director of Golf at Pinnacle Country Club, “Matt is a true professional, even in the face of adversity. He is a person of true integrity and treats everyone from a golf professional to the guests of his golf courses with great respect. These attributes in my opinion make it easy for me to go on and on about Matt and make him the perfect recipient of the Iowa Section Golf Professional of the Year.”

On behalf of the Iowa PGA Members, Associates and Iowa PGA staff we congratulate Matt Sherlock as the 2022 Iowa PGA Co-Golf Professional of the Year.

Sherlock has won the Deacon Palmer of the Year in 2021.

2022 Iowa PGA IPGA Co-Golf Professional of the Year

John Panek, PGA

John Panek of Davenport Country Club, PGA General Manager has been named the 2022 Iowa PGA Co-Golf Professional of the Year. Panek is responsible for managing complete operations of one of the premiere private clubs in the state of Iowa. He has increased membership by over 10% in the past year and assisted the club through a management transition by becoming Interim General Manager for a short time. He has now taken on a new role at the club as PGA General Manager and has created a new culture where teamwork was the key to their success.

Panek was quotes on what winning this award means to him, “It is an honor to be named the 2022 Co-Iowa PGA Professional of the Year. To be recognized by your peers for this award is truly humbling. This award, most certainly, isn’t possible without the incredible support of my family. I have been blessed for so many years to work for the best membership and work with the finest team of employees at Davenport Country Club.”

He continually supports the golf shop in merchandising endeavors with sales expected over $400,000 in 2022 and has created a new bonus plan where objectives and goals were the driving force behind change for the betterment of the employees and the club. Through outstanding teamwork with the membership and golf course superintendent, they are now the #1 course in the state of Iowa and the #73 classic golf course in the United States according to Golfweek Magazine.

Panek has served on the Pleasant Valley Educational Foundation Board which awards over 100 scholarships annually to Pleasant Valley High School graduates. Tournament successes has included

competing in five PGA Professional National Championships; 2007 Iowa PGA Match Play Champion; participated multiple years on the Iowa Cup Team; and won numerous Iowa PGA Section events over the years. He’s chaperoned multiple member travel opportunities both domestically and internationally giving members a chance to interact and build lasting relationships with other DCC members.

He has served on the Iowa PGA Board of Directors for three terms and elected as the Iowa PGA Tournament Chairman for two terms. Many of the tournament programs that are still in use today were developed during that tenure. Panek has taught at the Iowa PGA Junior Academy numerous times and consistently and continually supports the Iowa PGA by attending section tournaments. He has assisted the Iowa PGA by gaining additional sponsorship dollars for the tournament program and supports the Iowa PGA Foundation often bringing several teams from Davenport Country Club to the Foundation Pro-Am event.

He currently leads a team of 115 employees to provide the very best services and experiences at a private club and leads the development of a long-range plan

with several committees and the Board of Governors. He has recently assisted in the presentation of the first phase of a master plan: a $6 million project, to the membership. He has made the pool operation a strength in 2022, which was a weakness in year’s past and hired a new Pool Manager to oversee all aspects of the pool operation, leading to better service and experiences for members and their guests. Panek has provided new educational experiences for the F&B employees.

He has the privilege of leading a team of one PGA professional and three registered PGA associates at Davenport Country Club. They all inspire each other to do what is the very best for Davenport Country Club. For the past six seasons they have had many PGA associates at the club and for each of those years, they been fortunate to have hired female associates to their team. This has made an extremely positive impact on their membership, especially for their ladies and youth programs.

Panek encouraged former assistant golf professionals to apply for other PGA Head Golf Professional positions. One is now the Head Golf Professional at Short Hills Country Club and another now works as the Director of Operations for Troon Golf. Several other former assistant golf professionals have gone on to be wildly successful in other careers adding to their individual accomplishments.

Panek has personally provided instruction to some of the very best young golfers at Davenport Country Club, including Marshal Lamb (UNI), Erron Vandemore (Dayton), Jack Kennedy (Drake), Erika Holmberg (Drake), Nathan Tillman (Western Illinois) and Ethan Blomme (16 year old Junior Golfer).

Todd Fowler, PGA Teaching Professional at Golf Galaxy - Davenport, "Mr.

Mr. Panek has done an absolutely phenomenal job at DCC over the last several years. Starting as Head Professional and working up to Director of Golf and now as the General Manager, he has been instrumental in providing the club services, supported course redesign, and developed golf programming that is second to none through instruction and activities. His staffing strategy is incredible for top notch service, club fitting, player development and retail. He has also spear-headed the use of Davenport CC as a facility played for important Iowa golf events like IPGA Professional Championship, State Am, US Am Qualifying and many outings and events to help important philanthropic causes like Boy Scouts and the Genesis Hospitals. Davenport CC just received a high ranking from Golfweek Magazine Best Courses, and this would not have been possible without John. He is active in traveling with members to play golf and has always been a strong competitor in Iowa PGA competition. It is my privileged to nominate John Panek for IPGA Golf Professional of the Year.”

Panek has won the Assistant Golf Professional of the Year in 2002 and Private Merchandiser of the Year in 2011.

On behalf of the Iowa PGA Members, Associates and Iowa PGA staff we congratulate John Panek as the 2022 Iowa PGA Co-Golf Professional of the Year.

Scholarship Recipients

The Iowa PGA Foundation annually awards a college scholarship in memory of Charlie Burkart, PGA member for 49 years and Head PGA Professional at the Elmcrest Country Club in Cedar Rapids for 42 years. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist students in furthering their education. At least one high school graduate will be the 2022 Scholarship recipient in the amount of $1,500 per year for four years. Other previously graduated applicants will be reviewed with additional scholarships awarded when possible.

2022 Charlie Burkart Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Keokuk, Iowa native, Jordan Sisk on being selected as the 2022 Charlie Burkart Scholarship honoree by the Iowa PGA Foundation Charlie Burkart Scholarship committee.

Jordan will be attending Eastern Iowa Community College-Muscatine Community College Campus. He thought of everything from Petroleum Engineering to joining the F.B.I. as a Behavioral Analyst at first. He eventually found something that filled his sports interest and gave him a career option, that being a Golf Course Manager. Being a Golf Course Manager would allow him to fulfill his sports addiction and also make a career out of something that he loves to do - golf.

Hopefully in two years he will receive his Associate Degree in Applied Science and start that dream of his to get a full-time job working at a golf course. His main goal from that journey will be to one day work at Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, Georgia. He knows that is a big goal to set when he hasn’t even started the program. He was told to aim for the moon so if he falls short, he can land in the stars. In ten years, he wants to be the superintendent of a medium-sized golf course somewhere in the south, along with being able to live somewhere on the golf course. He wants to be able to give back to the game of golf since it has given him so much already.

Jordan was asked on what this award mean to him. “Being named the recipient for

the Burkart Scholarship is such a tremendous honor. It goes to show that golf can make such an impact upon someone's life outside the game itself. Having the opportunity to play in the Iowa PGA Junior Tour events is something that I will forever be grateful for as it allowed me to grow myself as a person and let me do what I love most in golf. Additionally, it has also opened my eyes to the countless career possibilities that are associated with the game of golf. Getting this scholarship will now propel me towards my goal of becoming a golf course superintendent and will allow me to be able to give back to the game that gave so much to me. The Iowa PGA is such a tremendous organization and I plan on representing them in a positive way to hopefully grow the game of golf in the future.”

2022 Career Advancement Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Shayne Shepherd of Pinnacle Country Club has been named the 2022 Iowa PGA Career Advancement Scholarship winner by the Iowa PGA Scholarship Committee.

The Iowa PGA Section Foundation annually awards a career advancement scholarship to assist individuals in furthering their education toward career development. Applicants who are interested in pursuing a career in the golf industry or other career requiring educational training are welcome to apply for a one year $1,000 scholarship.

The main career goals I have are to become a Head Golf Professional or Director of Golf at a very respective golf course, and I want to be a Head Golf Coach for a good NCAA D1 College. These goals can be obtained if I can continue to work hard, push myself and finish my PGA Program in good standing over the next few years.

Those are my main career goals; however, I have other goals as well. I want to continue to grow the game of golf through PGA Junior League, Junior Clinics and Ladies events/leagues. Secondly, I want to start a scholarship at a college I am the Head Coach at that is given to underprivileged individuals that came from nothing, like myself. I know what it feels like, and I want to do anything I can to give golfers the opportunity to go to college and

play the sport they love for little to no money.

Shepherd was quoted saying, “This solidifies my hard work that I’ve been putting in through the years knowing I’m in the right track. I will be donating the money I won to the golf team that I coach. Thank you to Erin Strieck and Mike Armes for assisting me while doing the PGM Program and for being great mentors to me.”

ACS Raised Money from the Iowa PGA Golf Pass

A Message From the Iowa Golf Association

Chad Pitts | Executive Director | IGA

In early October I did my Hundred-Hole-Hike to benefit Youth on Course here in Iowa. The Hundred-Hole-Hike is a national fundraising effort where individuals take on the challenge of playing 100 holes of golf in a single day, walking those holes the entire time. This was the fourth year I’ve done it right after I do it, every year, I question if I’m ever going to do it again. It takes a toll…it usually means about 25-27 miles of walking with hundreds of golf swings thrown in there for good measure. And I don’t have the best lower back anymore…but then I start to look at the fundraising results and say to myself, “you could probably suffer through it one more time at least”.

For those that don’t know anything about Youth on Course, here is a brief synopsis. They are all about access for junior golfers. Kids age 6-18 can sign up for a yearly membership. Courses participate in the program and offer days/times when YOC members can come play for $5 or less. Then we (the IGA Foundation) send each course a subsidy payment for every round played by a YOC member at the end of each month. Subsidies typically range from $5-7 per round, meaning the courses realize $10-12 per YOC round.

This year was another extremely successful ‘hike’. When all is said and done, it will produce approximately $6,500 in donations to YOC. Youth on Course continues to grow year over year (we started here in Iowa in 2018). In 2022 we will pay over $10,000 in subsidies back to our participating courses, so raising more than half of that with one day’s effort (well, not counting the training leading up to it) is definitely worth it.

This helps drive some “traffic” during off-peak hours. In addition, statistics show that over half of YOC rounds are played with a full-paying adult. I like to think that perhaps the kids are dragging the parents to the golf course, instead of the other way around.

The goals of this program are multiple. We aim to reduce the barrier to trying out golf by reducing the financial strain (kids only pay $5!), bringing more business to golf courses when they need it most, and getting families out to play this great game together, more often. The program has become nationwide and really is accomplishing these goals!

As we move toward the end of the year, if anyone reading this wishes to make a donation to the Youth on Course program here in Iowa you could send a check made out to “IGAF – Youth on Course” to our office (1605 N. Ankeny Blvd #210, Ankeny, IA 50023). Your donations are tax-deductible as YOC is a program of the IGA Foundation, our 501c3 organization. You can also make a contribution with a credit or debit card at iowagolf.org/youth-on-course. A simple $25 contribution can pay for up to five rounds of golf for juniors here in Iowa. That’s a pretty cool way to think about it!

Of course, if you really want to make an impact you could consider joining me as a ‘hiker’ next year! It only takes an extreme toll on your body, both mentally and physically (holes 37 thru 72 seem to take forever…). But, hey, it’s for the kids!

Golf came to Iowa in the late 1800s, planting the seeds for a rich harvest of golf history. Much of that history, long forgotten, comes to life in “Golden Harvest. Iowa’s Rich Golf History.”

Written by 11-time Iowa Sportswriter of the Year Rick Brown and commissioned by the Iowa Golf Association, this book is a must-read for those who love the game.

“It’s amazing how much work Rick did in researching and writing this chronicle of Iowa’s golf history,” said Chad Pitts, IGA Executive Director. “This book gives the reader a much deeper dive into stories they already knew as well as introducing them to some amazing things that we didn’t know anything about until now.”

Davis Sutton of Cedar Rapids Country Club has been named the 2022 Iowa PGA Assistant Golf Professional of the Year. This honor is based on the professional’s entire record with emphasis on his performance and achievements over the past year. This is the highest honor paid to an assistant golf professional and the award committee determined this winner based on strength as a player, teacher, merchandiser, and overall golf professional, the contributions to the success of the nominees facility, the nominees contributions to the game of golf, the character of the nominee and respect for other professionals, example of professionals who have enhanced their careers through the nominee, the nominee’s ability to play golf and the previous Section awards or community involvement activities.

When asked on what this means to win this award Sutton responded with, “This award means a tremendous amount to myself. Since I joined the Iowa PGA, I have sought to develop as a professional and to grow and contribute all that I can to my facility, this award proves to me that I have done each of these. I deeply care about becoming the best PGA professional that I can be, and helping CRCC and the Iowa Section prosper, and receiving this award means a great deal to me because of the efforts I have made over the past several years. I would not be receiving this award if it weren’t for the great PGA Professionals who have always surrounded me since I was a kid and who I have learned so much from, for Cedar Rapids Country Club who has allowed me to grow and develop as a professional and find my passion in the industry, and for my wife. Katie, and family who have always been so supportive of everything I have done and have always been there to help me in every way."

In the past year, Davis has achieved two milestones he was seeking as a professional. On July 5, 2022, Davis became a PGA member, which he has been working towards the last four years. In November of 2021, Davis took the role of President of the Iowa PGA Assistants Association, which has been a goal of his since the re-creation of the association in 2020. Both accomplishments have helped him develop as a professional and have aided his contributions to Cedar Rapids Country Club and the Iowa PGA Section.

Davis Sutton has been in the Iowa Section for four years and has spent three of those years actively involved in the section serving on committees and on the board for the Assistants Association. In November of 2021, Davis became the President of the Assistants Association after serving as Vice President the prior two years. He has served on the Iowa PGA Tournament Committee since 2020, where he has been involved in decision making covering section tournaments for his fellow professionals.

Davis has been involved in the creation and implementation of the Assistants Teaching and Coaching Summit, adding the Assistants Match Play to the 2022 tournament schedule, creating and

developing the District 8 Challenge, and planning a PGA Level 1 workshop for associates. He is committed to bettering the lives of all Assistant Professionals in the Iowa Section by creating more opportunities for all of them.

Sutton describes his leadership style as thoughtful, intelligent, and passionate. As a young professional, Davis is a proud leader at his facility and in the Iowa Section. He is willing to take on all responsibility that comes his way, either leading the team at CRCC or leading the Assistants Association. His leadership ability is strong, but continuously evolving as he continues to learn from the PGA Professionals, he surrounds himself with.

Kari Tomash, PGA Academy Director at CRCC, “Davis is an invaluable member of our Cedar Rapids Country Club Golf Staff. He is admired and respected not only by the membership but by the entire club staff. I am lucky not only to call Davis a coworker but also a friend and someone that my son looks up to.” Sutton has won the Assistant Player of the Year in 2019.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Davis Sutton as our 2022 Assistant Professional of the Year.

Davis

In February of this year I began my journey with the Iowa Turfgrass Institute as the newly appointed Executive Director. Two weeks after my first day I was part of the biggest and most important event for the association, the Annual Turfgrass Conference! The conference was held at the Holiday Inn – Airport, Des Moines. Preparation and planning for the conference of this size requires a tremendous amount of work. Much of this work fell on the shoulders of the board of directors, past staff, and volunteers. As a newcomer my responsibilities were minimal. The great majority of the “heavy lifting'' was done and I simply had to “keep the boat afloat.

Now several months later, and a great deal of experience gained, we are knee deep in planning for the 2023 version of the Iowa Turfgrass Institute’s Annual Conference. While my responsibilities this go around are much greater, I still rely on the Board of Directors, past employees, and volunteers to make the next conference even better than last year!

I am pleased to announce the Iowa Turfgrass Institute’s annual conference which will again be held at the Holiday Inn – Airport, Des Moines, IA, scheduled for February 14-16, 2023!

While the 2023 conference will be similar to last year’s, you will see some changes. The education committee has arranged for a fantastic group of presenters touching on many aspects of the turfgrass industry. You will be able to get your Pesticide Applicators License renewed but

Message From the Iowa Turfgrass Institute

you will see a slight change in the scheduling of the classes.

The Association socials will return, as will the all-industry social. The silent auction will also return with many fabulous items donated by our generous corporate sponsors. We are looking forward to a packed trade show as well, thanks to the support of our many turfgrass industry vendors.

We are excited to announce the return of a Keynote Speaker for the conference. The ITI Board of Directors has asked Major Sean Quinlan (retired) to address the association with his motivating and inspiring words.

Born into a large family and raised in Scottville, Mich., Major Sean Quinlan took on the role of “leader” from an early age. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in December 1985 and ultimately rose to the rank of Major in October 2006. After retiring from the United States Marine Corps in 2012, Major Quinlan accepted a teaching position at Des Moines North High School and coached the Polar Bears football team. He led the team to their most wins since 2008. His work with the team was even featured on an episode of ESPN's, “Outside the Lines.” In 2017 after retiring from teaching and coaching, Major Quinlan has toured the country as an inspirational public speaker. “There are a lot of people in this world who preach about Leadership, Integrity, and Honor... but fail to live a life that mirrors their message,” noted Des Moines Roosevelt High School Principal Kevin Biggs. “But this is not the case for Major Quinlan – He walks the walk and talks the talk. It's a powerful message that you need to hear.”

Whether you’re involved in golf courses, sod farms, athletic fields, professional lawn care, or any other type of landscapes, we invite everyone from all facets of this great industry to join us as we continue to unite in our efforts to maintain the long-term sustainability of our profession at the 2023 Turfgrass Institute Conference.

2022 Iowa PGA Deacon Palmer Award

Mark Egly, PGA

Mark Egly of Des Moines Driving Range has been named the 2022 Iowa PGA Deacon Palmer Award winner by the Iowa PGA Award’s Committee. The "Deacon Palmer Award" bestows special recognition on a PGA Golf Professional who personally displays outstanding integrity, character and leadership, in the effort to overcome a major obstacle in their life. This individual is an unsung hero/heroine at their facility and in their community, who serves to inspire, empower and assist others, both inside and outside of the game.

When asked on what this means to win, Egly responded with, “It is very hard to put into words an award that is named after a friend of almost 50 years father. A friend who once arranged to have my 12-year-old son Taylor come to see him so that he could tell Taylor about our friendship, all our work together as PGA professionals, and so much more about the things we had done together to make this world a better place. On June 28th, 1973, I first met Arnold Palmer at the age of 17. By the end of that day, I had gained a lifelong mentor and friend, a friend who was willing to share every ounce of wisdom he had with me throughout our lives. Today, all I can say is that I am very proud and thankful to be the recipient of an Award that bears the Palmer name, for I know everything that the award stands for and how the Palmer’s strongly shaped the path of my life! What does winning the Deacon Palmer Award mean to me? More than any words can properly express adequately!”

With Mark Egly’s leadership in recent years, the impossible is being accomplished in many people’s eyes, changing the Standard of Care for the medical community and the way that physicians and patients are being treated in the present and future. Lives have already been saved with Mark’s discoveries of a rarely diagnosed medical condition!

Mark has personally been inspired by Arnold Palmer on and off the golf course over the last 49 years. In the healthcare arena by Arnold and his late wife Winnie, by all the charitable work the Palmers have accomplished in the Orlando area. Mr. Palmer was a mentor, hero, and close friend to Mark from early in Mark’s life because of another hero of Mark’s, Dave Hill. Dave and Arnold were best friends as they played on the PGA Tour at the same time. Mark was fortunate to meet Mr. Palmer when Mark was just 17 years old when Arnold came to Jackson, Michigan, for the day. It was a day that day would change young Mark’s life forever! Their friendship and relationship led to the hiring of Mark at Des Moines Golf and Country as the Head of Golf Instruction in 1979.

Obstacles have been something Mark has had to overcome his entire career and life! For his entire life and the last three years, Mark has been overcoming major health obstacles that stand to start helping millions here in the USA and the world today!

Egly has won the Teacher of the Year Award in 2002, 2006, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2021. Mark also won the Professional Development Award in 2017 and the Player Development Award in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Egly was inducted into the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame in the Spring of 2022.

2022 Iowa PGA Bill Strausbaugh Award

Mike Downing, PGA

Mike Downing of Iowa PGA Section has been named the 2022 Bill Strausbaugh Award winner by the Iowa PGA Awards Committee. The Strausbaugh Award emphasizes the nominee’s performance and achievements over the past five years and is awarded to those who demonstrate day-to-day alternative methods of improving the employment conditions for the PGA Professional.

Downing was asked on what this award means to him, “It truly is an honor to be recognized as the recipient of this year's Bill Strausbaugh award. Being able to give back and make a positive impact on our Member's and Associates' careers is one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done.”

One of the most valuable lessons he was taught early in his career was from a mentor August Sewart, PGA. “You are only given one thing in life, your name. It is up to you to do what you want with it.” This has stuck with him over his many years of being a PGA professional. He works hard to protect his name. He also works hard to build his personal brand each day. To earn respect, you must build relationships and give respect. Treat people how you would like to be treated. There are times in our professional careers when we need to make tough decisions. If you have invested time building relationships and doing what is right, people may not like the decision you made however they understand the reasons for the decision and respect you for that. In the past 3-years he has met with over 150 PGA members and visited over eighty facilities. In these meetings we discuss challenges and opportunities the professional and/or facility are facing. We also discuss tools and resources the professional/facility needs to be more productive and efficient. Not that he has all the answers, but in his time visiting with professionals and facilities he has been able to share success stories from many of our talented professionals as it relates to operations, tournament management, and overall best practices. Again, his goal is to set them up for success and help them do their job better.

The Iowa PGA Section is a leader in many areas. Drive, Chip & Putt is just one of those. He has overseen and collaborated closely with our professionals to grow the program over the past couple of years. In 2021, we hosted twenty-three local qualifiers with a total of 460 participants. In 2022, he was responsible for twenty-four local qualifiers with a total of 720 participants. It has been incredibly rewarding to be involved in nearly doubling the program over the past two years. This truly is the trifecta – he cannot think of a better way to reach young people, while displaying the power of the PGA of America brand, and what it means to be a PGA Professional, while also growing the game of golf and positively impacting the lives of so many young people.

Gene Bears, Jr., PGA Professional at Lacoma Golf, “Since Mike has joined our section as our Director of Membership & Player Development, he has hit the ground full speed even during the initial beginning which involved the Covid protocol. Keeping in constant contact with Section Members and Associates. Along with this his involvement with PGA junior League and Drive Chip and Putt. This keeps his schedule full. Through all this his integrity and loyalty for Iowa PGA to shine as leaders is his top priority.”

This is Downing’s first Iowa PGA Section Award. The Iowa PGA Congratulates as our 2022 Bill Strausbaugh Award.

2022 Iowa PGA Professional Development Award

JR Millar, PGA

JR Millar of Lake Bracken Country Club has been named the 2022 Professional Development Award winner. The Professional Development Award is based on a Professional’s entire record and achievements over their career. The guidelines for this award include various types of educational seminars brought to the section, contributions made to building the PGA image, leadership and networking ability, promotion of the game of golf within the community, techniques used to encourage membership support of the various seminars, articles written for publication in books or magazines and any sectional or nationally recognized coursed attended by the nominee which enhance the PGA Professional.

When asked on what this means to win this award Millar responded with, “If you stand still, someone will always pass you. This has been my motivation as the Education Chair. I have striven to provide a variety of educational opportunities that we, as PGA members, can use to better ourselves professionally. We have to remain the leaders and innovators at our facilities to ensure our true value is seen by our employers. It is truly an honor and a privilege to be selected as the 2022 Iowa PGA Professional Development Award winner.”

Millar successfully brought the Swing With Kids program to the Galesburg school district a few years ago. Lake Bracken C.C. has served as a host site for the National Drive, Chip, and Putt competition for the last two years. He’s also partnered with the Iowa Junior Tour the past several years to host a tournament. We upgraded our relationship this year to include Bunker Links Golf Course and become a 2-day “Major” event for the Iowa PGA Junior Tour. His junior golf program runs weekly for the months of June and July and has quadrupled in participants over the last 6-8 years. We recently reached out to some local schools and offered our private course for practices and to host their meets. We now have Carl Sandburg College Men’s and Women’s golf teams. Additionally, we serve as the home course for the Galesburg Girls golf team, the Knoxville Boys and Girls golf team, and the A-Town Boys and Girls golf team.

He hosted several women’s clinics in the early part of the year, geared towards new and beginning golfers. This has helped increase our league and tournament participation. He also conducts an All-Women Pro-Am annually that is well supported by ladies from all over the area. Lastly, as a Board member, he believes it is important to support our Section events. He tries to play in 4-6 events per year as my schedule allows. It is a great way to network with our fellow PGA Professionals and share ideas on how to better promote the game and ourselves.

Gail Hannam, Illinois Women’s Golf Association Board of Director, “JR supports and encourages golf for all ages. He runs a thriving weekly Junior Program giving these young people the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the game in a fun and exciting way. He hosts the Drive, Chip and Putts event, along with an Iowa PGA Junior Tournament. Not only does he inspire young golfers at our club, but he created and facilitated a golf unit in the PE classes at our local school district. By doing this during school, he was able to introduce the game to many young people who may have never been given that opportunity.”

Ben Olson, Vice President of the Lake Bracken Country Club Board of Directors, “J.R. is always inclusive to all skill levels, whether it is providing instruction for an aspiring professional or members who are just starting to play. His teaching approach brings a relaxed feel to any skill set receiving instruction. This helps keep the student comfortable and focused on the task at hand.”

This is Millar’s first Iowa PGA Section Award. The Iowa PGA Congratulates JR Millar as our 2022 Professional Development Award.

Welcome to the PGA Golf Management Program at Nebraska

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is one of only 18 schools in the United States with a PGA Golf Management Program accredited by the PGA of America. This comprehensive program prepares students to turn a game that they love into a career that they love, and engages them through classroom activities, laboratory experiences including individual and group golf lessons, an extensive player development program and high quality internship experiences on a global scale.

Get to Know UNL Students

Sioux City, Iowa - Bishop Heelan Catholic High School

I am 19 years old and have played the game of golf for as long as I can remember. In high school I also participated in volleyball and cross country. Golf has always been my number one though! I have one older brother who plays football at the University of Northern Iowa. A few of my other hobbies include baking, working out, and napping.

I decided to pick UNL PGM as my college major because of the endless opportunities it comes with. UNL is also one of the most welcoming communities I have ever been in. Everyone within the program is so helpful in all aspects of college, golf or not they are there for you. It just felt like a home away from home and that is why I am where I am.

I like to set the bar high for myself, I have many goals set for my future in the golf world and beyond.

My biggest goal is to open my own indoor/outdoor facility which will include all aspects of golf and fitness. I want to be able to coach others, helping them grow their strength to preform to their best abilities on the golf course.

As far as my summer internship plans go… I am still currently exploring all my options to see what best fits my interest. I am hoping to find a place that feels like home. I want to be able to explore new opportunities, expand my knowledge, and make lots of new connections!

Anna Fenton

Clive,

-

Waukee

NW High school

In my past I have played baseball, basketball, and soccer. I was on my high school golf team all 4 years and played in many Iowa PGA tournaments. I live with my mom and dad and two cats. I love fishing and playing video games with new friends and buddies from back home.

I choose UNL cause the first visit was love at first sight. I felt I was going to be taken care of and that if I had questions I was able to go ask and get an answer right away the support was amazing. I can’t see myself at any other university.

My future goals are to become a head pro or a teaching instructor at a PGA sanctioned golf course.

I’m planning on doing a summer internship with the Iowa PGA section to further my tournament skills and gaining connections.

Tabor, Iowa - Fremont-Mills

Played golf, football, basketball, and baseball. Have 2 brothers and a sister!

I chose UNL PGM because the moment I stepped into the building I knew this place was where I wanted to spend the next 4 years studying.

My future goals are to get a job in Colorado and run a course in the mountains!

For my summer internship I am hoping to work at Lost Rail golf course in Omaha, Nebraska.

Runnells, Iowa - Southeast Polk

Eli Owens

I played golf and wrestled. I have two siblings, a brother and a sister. I enjoy being outside doing things like hunting and fishing.

I joined the UNL PGM Program because I can tell the people here care about my success and this program has given me an opportunity to follow my passions.

My future goals are to be a top instructor and someday open my own teaching facilities.

I don’t have any plans for my internship yet, but I would like to go somewhere on the east coast.

Hamburg, Iowa - Sidney Cowboys

I did cross country, basketball, track, golf, and baseball.

I chose the PGM major because I could not see myself doing anything other than golf because it is something that I love doing.

My dream job would be to work on the Titleist tour truck going around to all the tournaments.

I hope to intern and ArborLinks this summer.

Jake Malcom

Kyle Beam

Des Moines, Iowa - Theodore Roosevelt High School

I played golf and swam all 4 years of high school. My favorite golf memory was getting a hole-in-one on a par 4. It was the very first hole in a school dual meet. The hole was #1 at Grandview in Des Moines. I have one brother who is taking this school year to study abroad in Freiburg, Germany. I also like to spend my time at the gym and rock climbing.

I have loved the game of golf for as long as I can remember. When I found out that I had the opportunity to do something in college that heavily related to golf, I knew that is what I wanted to do. The reason I chose Nebraska specifically was because of how great the faculty were and how welcoming everything and everyone was.

I would like to gain as much experience within my internships in a big focus of golf and then after graduation work myself through the CMAA program towards the club manager side of things.

I have just secured my internship for the summer of 2023 at Des Moines Golf & Country Club. I plan on going to Bend, Oregon for my extended internship starting in the summer of 2024.

Tipton, Iowa – Tipton High School

Mason Garner

Bob Ryan

I am the son of Tim and Katie Ryan. In high school I participated in basketball, cross country, and golf. I was a part of a state runner up cross-country team my junior year and a state championship team my senior year. In basketball I was Academic All-Conference all four years of high school and was chosen to be a part of the River Valley Conference All-South Team my senior year. I love to golf; in my junior year of high school, I placed third at the state meet, and my senior year set the ninehole record at my school of 31. I love to hang out with my family. They have been a major part of all my success in both high school and now college. In my free time I like to hang out with friends and watch sports.

I chose the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's PGA Management program because I love golf and I want to help this game grow whether that be

teaching people how to play or managing a country club.

My future goals in golf are to find a successful club and start there and move up into the higher ranks of the club in the future. Another golf goal I have it to play in some section events and in the future play in some Q-school events in hopes to eventually play on tour.

Although I am not entirely sure where I am going to do my internship this summer, I am looking forward to this opportunity brought about by the UNL PGA Management program.

Iowa PGA Foundation

Swings with Kids Program

How Does the Swings with Kids Program Work?

Our goal is to have PGA Professionals partner with school districts to raise funds for the equipment.The equipment is specially designed for safe, indoor and outdoor use and comes with complete curriculum and activities, allowing PE teachers to easily implement the program in their classes. Exposing more children to golf in a fun environment will hopefully encourage their continued play throughout life.

This is a great way to strengthen golf in your school district!

Charlie Burkart Scholarship

The Iowa PGA Foundation annually awards a college scholarship in memory of Charlie Burkart, PGA member for 50 years and head professional at Elmcrest Country Club in Cedar Rapids for 43 years. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist students with their education. The scholarship is awarded to high school seniors who will continue contributing to the game of golf.

COURSES AND TRAVEL

Are you looking for a course that challenges your routine or would enjoy some golf related travel while exploring the state?
