It was great to see another of our PGA Members get into the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame. The 2023 Class included Kevin Beard, the former PGA Professional at Otter Creek in Ankeny, Iowa. Kevin was a pioneer in Iowa in the Junior Golf space having administered the winter program titled, “Operation State Champ”, for over 20 years out of an old firehouse in Ankeny. It produced many high school state team and individual champions on the girls and boys side. Congratulations to Kevin.

A Message From the Iowa PGA

Iowa PGA Executive Director Iowa PGA Golf Magazine – Winter Review of 2023

2

What another great year of golf in 2023. Since I get to read all of my fellow Executive Directors and our Iowa PGA President’s articles prior to writing mine, I will chime in a bit on their articles. Erin’s commentary on how well our PGA Professionals support all of the programming in Iowa and Western Illinois, has been a love affair that has lasted over 40 years. Jeff’s short term as Executive Director for the Iowa GCSAA has increased their giving to their fellow Superintendents through fundraisers, especially the Wee One Fundraiser shows the dedication and respect they have for each other.

Chad’s “thankful” article mirrors so much of what we all feel in the Iowa Golf scene.

The spirit of cooperation and collaboration is heartfelt. Our allied associations are working well together to increase awareness on how great our golf industry is to work in as a career. The Executive Directors get together via a video call on a monthly basis to discuss a variety of topics. Our Iowa Golf Council, made up of the allied associations, administers a bi-annual Iowa Golf Summit open to anyone interested in attending. The 2024 edition will be held at Hyperion Field Club in Johnston, Iowa on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.. We will also be hosting our 3rd Iowa Women’s Golf Summit in May or June that will include a golf component with guest speakers for anyone wishing to improve their women’s golf programming. More details on both events to come after the first of the year.

Little old Iowa was at the forefront of golf in 2023 with the two major international team golf competitions, the Walker Cup and the Ryder Cup. Iowa Golf Hall of Famer and Captain Mike McCoy rallied his team on the final day at the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland to win the Walker Cup. Iowa Golf Hall of Famer and Captain Zach Johnson had a tough task to win for the first time on foreign soil in the Ryder Cup. The rally on the final two days came up short but not because of the determination of our wonderful Iowan guidance as OUR US

Finally, be on the lookout for our March edition of the digital magazine as we have some exciting announcements coming, including the expansion of two scholarships presented by the Iowa PGA Foundation. These additional scholarships will be for graduating seniors and those that are out of high school but wishing to get into the golf business as a PGA Professional, Golf Course Superintendent or golf hospitality. They will enhance the two scholarships we currently offer – Burkart and Career Advancement.

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.

For those interested in marketing with us, we will have spots available for you to place an ad. Just look for our special marketing page within the pages of our magazine. This digital magazine goes to over 15,000 people on our email list along with being sent over our social media channels. If you wish to be a part of something new in the Iowa Golf scene, please feel free to email me at gmason@pgahq. com. You can always call the office at 319-648-0026 as well.

Have fun, Play Well “Mase”

Iowa PGA Awards

Iowa PGA Awards || Scholarship Recipients

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 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.

2023 Charlie Burkart Scholarship Recipient Congratulations to Sioux City Iowa native, Isabella Boyle on being selected as the 2023 Charlie Burkart Scholarship honoree by the Iowa PGA Foundation Charlie Burkart Scholarship committee.

This fall 2023, she will be attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and her intended area of study is PGA Golf Management. She wants to bring gender inclusivity to a prominently male-dominated industry. She wants to be the person that she did not have when learning the game of golf, she wants the future generation of female golfers to have a mentor that will get them excited about playing and being involved in the game because we need to see more representation of female golfers. She has been a mentor for fellow teammates, classmates, and incoming golfers, whether that be through helping in the classroom or on the golf course.

She hopes to bring the mindset of the game of golf with her through everything that she does, and she will continue to improve on everything that she does and each opportunity that she has been given, never taking anything for granted. Boyle hopes to bridge the gap between gender in the game of golf and inspire the future generation of golfers.

Isabella on what this award means to her, “I am honored to be a recipient of the Charlie Burkart Scholarship. This award will help me to pursue my academic career and allow myself to have time to also focus on golf. I am excited to see where the PGM Golf Management program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will take me for the next four years. Golf has always been a constant in my life, and I look forward to continuing my passion for the game. It is a great achievement to receive this scholarship, and I am very grateful.”

“Isabella is a highly dedicated and driven young woman. I would strongly recommend her to be the recipient for this designated scholarship opportunity. The skills and leadership she will provide during the next chapter of her life in higher education and collegiate sports will be an asset that drives the success of the academic institution that she is attending. Isabella will also be an asset to the development of others with academics as well as athletic performance.

She will positively influence others around her and will enhance the overall experience of everyone that she is given the opportunity to interact with,” Julian Lee had some nice words to say about Isabella.

Iowa PGA Awards

2023 Charlie Burkart Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Cedar Rapids, Iowa native, Benjamin Blocklinger on being selected as the 2023 Charlie Burkart Scholarship honoree by the Iowa PGA Foundation Charlie Burkart Scholarship committee.

Blocklinger’s educational goals are to receive a Bachelor of Science degree (Golf/ Business Management), with a PGA certification. He aspires to be a PGA teaching professional and/or a golf club manager. His objectives are to continue to improve his personal game, become a better communicator, develop personal/professional relationships and evolve into a stronger leader/mentor.

Ben will be attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln majoring in PGA Golf Management with minors in Hospitality & Business.

Ben on what this award means to him, “Receiving this scholarship will help me be able to concentrate on my studies and not stress about how my education will be paid for. This scholarship will help me to achieve my career objectives without the stress and hardship it will put on me and my family. After college I would like to be the head golf pro and all the duties that come with this great profession.”

Growing up, he had very low self-esteem and felt lost. He has multiple learning disabilities, which made him feel different and separate from other kids. His Dad has always been an avid golfer, and he started playing the sport as soon as he could

hold a club. Golf quickly became his number one love. Finding success in golf empowered him and helped to instill confidence in himself. He has learned to work hard, persevere, and grind from playing golf.

That determination has helped him become a better person, student, golfer, and a strong leader as captain of his golf team. For the last 7 years he has volunteered with the Special Olympics in golf. He knows how important it is when you have a disability to find something that you have success in and that can then boost your self-esteem. Working with these athletes has brought him much joy. They inspire others to try golf or continue to play golf. They demonstrate that the love of the game isn't dependent on what level you're at or how you score. Golf is a sport for any person at any age.

2023 Career Advancement Scholarship Recipient Congratulations to Jaclyn Wojciechowski of Elmcrest Country Club has been named the 2023 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.

Wojciechowski is originally from Toledo, Ohio, she would have never guessed that she would eventually call Iowa home. She moved to Iowa four years ago to attend William Penn University and purse her dream of playing golf at the collegiate level.

Golf is her biggest passion and she knew she wanted to pursue a full-time career in golf from an early age. She started working at Oak Harbor Golf Club when she turned 15 and helped with basic golf course operations which included pro shop, cart barn, maintenance, and helping in the kitchen. She worked at Oak Harbor Golf Club for four years. In addition, she had over 300 volunteer hours working with The First Tee of Lake Erie, Ernie Els for Autism Program, and Bittersweet Farms Golf Programs as a volunteer golf course.

Iowa Golf Association

A Message From the Iowa Golf Association

Chad Pitts | Executive Director | IGA A lot to be thankful for…

As I type this, we just finished up a long weekend away from the office to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families. So I figured a “Thanksgiving” theme to my note this month would make some sense. I - and we here at the IGA as a whole - have a lot to be thankful for.

I’m thankful for our golfers. They continue to sign up and play in IGA events in record fashion. We brought back qualifying for the Iowa Amateur this year and saw the most entries since I’ve been at the IGA (2002). Also, it is just a wonderful group of people to see throughout the season. The men, women, junior boys and junior girls are tremendously good players and, for the overwhelming majority of them, extremely kind and respectful of the game and its traditions. It helps make our long hours worth it.

I’m thankful for our Superintendents that take care of the turf we are so lucky to get to play on. As a group, these are some of the best people we work with. They never ask for credit - even though they deserve a lot - for the effort they put in. Plus, this year was especially difficult when you consider the lack of natural moisture and the extended season thanks to some wonderful fall weather. I love this quote from the book “Dream Golf - The Making of Bandon Dunes” about Superintendents: “Superintendents, and the members of their crew, are the unsung and usually unseen stalwarts of golf, the ones who get their hands dirty, the ones who do all the nasty jobs, who get up before daybreak to make sure that the course is pristine, and the ones on whose efforts the whole structure of the game depends.” It rings so true.

I’m thankful for all of the PGA Professionals and what they do for the game. The time and effort they spend teaching golf to players of all abilities is commendable. Top it off with the sheer amount of hours spent handling all of the other tasks of a club professional - from running club events to answering members questions to hosting outside of events takes a tremendous amount of effort, patience, and dignity. As a group, the PGA professionals we work with have all of these traits in abundance.

I’m thankful for all of the host clubs and courses that have welcomed IGA championships both this year and over the 20+ years I’ve been with the organization. Golf has exploded over the last few years and that has made it much harder for courses to host outside events. We are very lucky that we still have a significant amount of facilities who are willing to host our championships. I am tremendously grateful to the members of these clubs and courses and their staffs for allowing us to come and use their golf courses to stage our biggest events.

I’m thankful for the IGA Volunteers. These folks give their time to the IGA as rules officials, course rating volunteers, and/or as board and committee members without any monetary return. With the sheer number of championships and qualifiers we have to run and the number of courses we have to rate there is no way we could do what we do without 14 Iowa PGA Golf Magazine - Year in Review Issue

Iowa Golf Association them. Our volunteers have played a huge part in moving the IGA to where it is today.

I’m thankful for the donors to Golf House Iowa. We have had over 250 people or organizations step up and give to the project. Collectively they have given over $4.4 million to make this dream a reality. It really has been amazing to see the way people have rallied around this. It’s hard to believe we are only a few months away from having it completed. We cannot thank this group enough for what they have done to reset the foundation for the IGA moving forward. I hope they all know how much it has meant to us.

I’m thankful for our relationship with Allied Golf Associations and Organizations such as the Iowa PGA, Iowa GCSA, and Tall Corn Chapter of the CMAA. We are all working together more than ever, especially within the confines of the Iowa Golf Council. I think we have all realized we each serve a very important purpose that helps drive the entire game forward here in Iowa. I’m grateful for that recognition.

I’m thankful for our IGA Staff. There are a lot of really smart and talented people who work in the golf industry, and I think our staff at the Iowa Golf Association is one of the very best. They are a joy to be around every single day. Even with the stress of the summer it is very rare that we aren’t all having a wonderful time doing what we do. There are a lot of people who cannot say that. Thankfully we are some of the lucky ones who can. I have tremendous respect for them as people and professionals They care a great deal and have done - and will continue to do - an immense amount of good for the IGA. Finally, I’m thankful for my wonderful family at home. My wife, Kristie, takes care of things when I am out at events most of the summer. Our daughter, Elsie, has turned into the cutest, funniest 3 ½ year old we’ve ever met. Our son Marcus seems to have overcome his rough start to life entirely and now is just a normal, rambunctious 18-month-old boy who seems to care much more about having fun than the bruises that fun might leave. Oh, not to mention our little dog, Matt, who puts up with all of us but especially our kids when they learn how to pet rather than grab and pull!

Thank you to you all. I hope Thanksgiving treated you great and the upcoming Holiday Season is wonderful!

BOOK ON IOWA GOLF HISTORY

GOLDEN HARVEST 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.”

Iowa PGA Awards

Assistant Professional of the Year

Melanie Tomczuk Davenport Country Club

Melanie Tomczuk of Davenport Country Club has been named the 2023 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 Tomczuk responded with, “Winning this award means so much to me because it truly showcases my passion for the game of golf and helping grow the sport.”

Since starting her golf professional career in 2020, she would not have guessed how important her role is at Davenport Country Club. In just a couple years she has been able to help improve our membership retention, merchandise numbers, and engagement throughout the club. From taking courses within the PGA, she has learned that in order for a club to succeed there needs to be membership retention and growth. The retention at Davenport Country Club is thriving. So much so that they are very close to hitting their maximum number of memberships, but they are also adding new families to the club. Brian, Davenport Country Club’s PGA Head Golf Professional, contributes this increase of membership to social members becoming full equity members.

She had a big role in this increase because of the programs she offers for their women and juniors. With the added opportunities for women and juniors, she is showing them the benefits of having a full equity membership over just a social membership. One of her goals is to get the entire family playing and she is very proud to say that their club is extremely family oriented for this reason.

To Tomczuk, when she thinks of the word service, she thinks of helping someone or something. In this case, how does she help the Iowa PGA Section? To start, as a woman she feels as if she serves a great purpose in helping the Iowa PGA Section generate other women like her to come into the golf business. She coaches many young girl golfers in hopes they will grow up and want to dip their feet in being a PGA Golf Professional one day. She showcases her talent and serves the Section by playing in section events and attending different seminars to help grow her knowledge of the game of golf.

This also helps her keep in touch with other professionals and our Iowa Section board. This past winter she was able to represent the Iowa PGA Section at the PGA Merchandise show in Orlando, Florida. Meeting other professionals, vendors, and board members was a great opportunity to get her foot in the door and share all what has done.

Being a leader is something that she has always gravitated to so when she started working at Davenport Country Club her leadership tendency did not go away. Her parents would always tell her growing up, “Be a leader not a follower.” She took this to heart when she started at DCC and started implementing new ways of teaching, merchandising, and even socializing with members. She knew she always wanted to be a teacher, but never did she think she was going to be teaching golf. Since working at DCC she has had the opportunity to really take charge of the Junior Programs and make them fun and exciting for kids who start playing the game.

Not only has she taken the lead as the Junior Golf Coordinator, she has also led their club by making huge strides in our merchandise sales. She has utilized social media to showcase our clothing and accessories which allows members to have an easier time buying products now that they can purchase online in addition to purchasing in the shop.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Melanie Tomczuk as our 2023 Assistant Professional of the Year.

Iowa PGA Awards || Golf Executive of the Year

GCSAA

Golf Executive of the Year

Matt Ruehling

Des Moines Golf and Country Club Matt Ruehling of Des Moines Golf and Country Club has been named the 2023 Iowa PGA Assistant Golf Professional of the Year.

This honor “PGA Golf Executive of the Year Award” bestows special recognition on a PGA Golf Professional who has performed outstanding services for a multiple facility/course management/ ownership operation, Allied Association or golf industry executive management position. As one of the highest honors the PGA can bestow, candidates must possess outstanding qualities of leadership, vision, courage, strong moral character, and a substantial record of service to the Association and the game of golf. Individuals honored with the PGA Golf Executive of the Year award will be held as a model PGA Golf Professional.

When asked on what this means to win this award Ruehling responded with, “It is always exciting to be recognized by your peers. Winning this award is much less about me and more about the team we have in place at Des Moines Golf and Country Club.

Our team approach has allowed us to accomplish many wonderful things over the past year. I’m fortunate to work with such a great group of people on a daily basis.”

Ruehling has more than 23 years of progressive experience in the private club industry. Exceptional ability to manage productive relationships with Board of Directors, members, guests, employees and community. Highly visible leader who believes in being an integral part of daily operations; observe firsthand opportunities for continual improvement and facilitate a culture that ensures both employee engagement and member satisfaction.

He is responsible for a 36-hole private club with ten department heads and he will oversee over 500 employees who will work at the Club on an annual basis. He reports to a 14-member Board of Directors, he has helped execute the agreed upon goals and policies each year.

Ruehling took over as General Manager/Chief Operating Officer of Des Moines Golf and Country Club in 2020, replacing a long tenured and well-respected GM/COO. Since starting in 2020, they have been able to lead the Club through the COVID pandemic and guide them through a extensive renovation that touched both the golf pro shop and dining facilities.

He is currently a member of the Iowa PGA Board of Directors and also serves as President for the Iowa Tall Corn Chapter of the Club Management Association of America. He has been a part of the CMAA Board for three years. For the past two years he has also been the CMAA representative to the Iowa Golf Council.

Leading an organization with over 500 individuals employed annually that has 1500 memberships (encompassing 4,500 people) can be a difficult task. It's essential to have a target or a plan and it is hard to lead a group of people (employees or members) if there isn't a plan. Once the plan is in place, with input from both members and staff, they allow each department the freedom to execute. They then make sure to hold them accountable for that execution.

There is a big difference between being a leader and a manager/boss. As a leader he makes sure to coach his team and develop their skills, which is evident in the number of his former employees who have earned other positions, in golf and outside of golf.

As a PGA member, that is now leading a club, he has a unique perspective on golf operations. Ruehling wants our golf professionals to be on the cutting edge. Their team is allowed much freedom to try different things, without repercussions if there is failure. Their best programs and ideas have come from trying things that some clubs would be too afraid to try.

As a champion of PGA Golf Professionals, their staff knows that he will help support their programs, education, and enhancement of personal skills and growth.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Matt Ruehling as our 2023 Golf Executive of the Year.

Iowa GCSAA Look Towards 2024 and Year In Review

Jeff Lamoureux | Executive Director A wise person once said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” And I can assure you the ITI staff along with the Iowa GCSA board of Directors have spent much time planning for the events and fundraisers of 2024. As you might expect these things don’t just happen on their own.

Many dedicated members volunteer their time and effort towards these annual events. With that said, we have a nice lineup of fundraisers and education sessions for the Iowa GCSA membership in 2024. Starting with the annual ITI conference February 13-15 at the Airport Holiday Inn, Des Moines. ITI and Iowa GCSA have planned a fantastic lineup of other events and I am confident with the leadership from our board of directors, they will be a success! Here is a look at the lineup.

• • • • • • •

Wee One Fundraiser @ Finkbine Golf Course, Iowa City, May 20 ITI/ISU Extension Fundraiser @ Veenker Memorial Golf Course, Ames, June 5 ITI Field Day Classic, Grinnell College Golf Course, Grinnell, July 24 Iowa GCSA Fall State Meeting, Gates Park Golf Course, Waterloo, August 27 Field and Demo Day, ISU Horticultural Center, Ames, September 11 ITI/Iowa GCSA Benefit, Echo Valley Country Club, Norwalk, September 30 Iowa GCSA Winter Seminar, Wakonda Club, Des Moines, December 11

may know, the Wee One Foundation was established to assist golf course management professionals (or their dependents) who incur overwhelming expenses due to medical hardship without comprehensive insurance or adequate financial resources. With the help of those participating in the four-person best ball tournament, the Elmcrest staff, Nick Kray, course superintendent and our generous sponsors, Iowa GCSA was able to hand a $13,000 check to the Wee One Foundation. I would call that a success!

The Annual Iowa GCSA Fall State meeting headed to Palmer Hills Golf Course, Bettendorf. Superintendent Brian Hickey and his staff had the course in prime condition and some even were able to take advantage of Palmer Hills unique 18-hole putting course. If you haven’t checked this out, you need to! The over 100 golfers participating were rewarded with fantastic weather and a beautiful course. And some business was completed as well. It is a meeting after all. Another successful Fall Meeting in the books!

And finally, Iowa GCSA members will have the opportunity to participate in some high-quality education at the annual Winter Seminar held at Terrace Hills Golf Cours, Altoona. Alex Perizzo, course superintendent will give a tour of his new shop along with the lineup of educational presenters. No doubt to be successful!

I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Now looking back at the successes of 2023.

Bill Strausbaugh

Terry Anderson, PGA Elks Country Club

Terry Anderson of Elks Country Club has been named the 2023 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.

For the first thirteen years as a PGA member of his now 29-year PGA career, he mentored twelve (12) of his staff members to PGA membership. Ten of them are still active members. They have flourished in their own careers and many of them have taken active roles as officers in their respective Section, award winners in their Section and two of them have been national award winners.

He has enjoyed continuing to keep in contact with them and he is always thrilled when they share their success stories with him.

The past five years, he has taken a special interest in Iowa Section PGA member Gene Bears, Jr. Gene has had some challenging times in his employment situation. Terry makes a point of calling him regularly to make sure his attitude stays positive and to provide him with any job leads of which he is aware. Gene recently accepted a General Manager position and is most grateful for his support and he couldn’t be happier for him to continue his PGA career with the passion that he has for the golf business.

He takes great pride in leading by example. Being positive, energetic and being available have been the keys to his personal success. He is happy to say that all the PGA professionals that he has mentored have those traits as well. They are currently mentoring the next generation of PGA professionals.

As the son of a minister, he observed early on and often the value of service to others philosophy. He can’t think of another profession that service to all applies any more than to a PGA Professional. You must take care of your customers, your employees, your suppliers, all while making sure that you still take care of yourself. Needs come in all varieties and need to be managed differently in the case of different individuals. Recognizing this and maintaining consistency in each case is the key to success and to maintaining your reputation and integrity. The fact that he chose to remain in Iowa City after his employment with the University of Iowa ended is a testament to his character. He is still respected and held in high regard concerning the game of golf in this community.

Anderson is finishing his 11th golf season as PGA Head Professional at the Elks Club #590 in Iowa City. He approached them in 2013 because he has several friends who are members. They were always complaining about the lack of leadership in the Elks Club golf operation. The Club had tried to operate the golf operation without PGA representation for several years after many years of having a PGA Professional in place. He presented them with a plan that outlined how he could be the solution to their problems. Out of loyalty to his friends and the PGA, the Elks Club #590 has had a PGA Professional running the golf operation. It is thriving. The Club is completing a $2 million dollar club house renovation and irrigation system upgrade. He is in a position where he doesn’t require a salary for his services to the Elks Club #590.

The membership is appreciative of his service and the Board of Directors understand the value that he brings to the Club.

Anderson is an unselfish volunteer when it comes to representing the PGA of America. He has served the following: Charter GIVE instructor since 2007, Iowa PGA Junior Academy, Brown Deer Women’s Golf League clinic instructor, has been a speaker at Rotary, Kiwanis, Monday Morning Quarterback Club, Cub Scout Den meetings, Church Men’s group and many golf clinics. He has gotten to know many people throughout his PGA career. He is proud that they know him to be associated with the PGA of America.

Anderson won the Iowa PGA Golf Professional of the Year Award in 2004. www.iowapga.com 39

Professional Development Award

JR Millar, PGA

Lake Bracken Country Club JR Millar of Lake Bracken Country Club has been named the 2023 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, “This award is truly an honor to receive. My goal has always been to promote the PGA brand while trying to be the best PGA Professional that I can be. My work as the Education Co-Chair for the Section has allowed me to help secure speakers on varying topics that can hopefully help us all to grow and become more well-rounded PGA Professionals. Golf does not exist without the PGA Professional, so the more we learn, the better for the future of the sport we all love.”

As the Education Co-Chair, it is his responsibility to continually work with the Iowa PGA Section Staff to come up and secure relevant and engaging educational topics. It is his goal to find speakers/topics that can relate to all of our PGA Professionals.

Millar’s goal as a PGA Professional has always been to adhere to present himself in a professional way. He has always had the attitude of “lead by doing”, which helped him to run for the board four years ago, then become Secretary for the last two years. He is now very engaged in Section and National topics that can affect us, the PGA Professional. He is proud to be a voice for one of the smaller sections. He would not have imagined that he would be on a first name basis with our three National Officers. He has fought and will continue to push for Iowa to receive the Herb Graffis award, as we are overdue for this honor.

Rich Furne, President of Lake Bracken Country Club had a few nice words to say, “One of J.R.'s notable accomplishments has been his effective management of Lake Bracken Country Club full operations in a short period of time. He has consistently exhibited a keen understanding of operational intricacies, financial stewardship, and customer satisfaction. His ability to lead a team, adapt to new challenges, and consistently exceed expectations is truly commendable.”

President of Iowa PGA & Iowa Golf Foundation and PGA Director of Golf at Pinnacle Country Club Erin Strieck had a few words to say, “When I think of JR, three words come to mind: driven, dedicated, and passionate. This year JR has moved into the General Manager/Head Golf Professional role at Lake Bracken, a role I feel he was meant to hold. His genuine compassion and dedication for his members and the success of Lake Bracken is always at the forefront of any decision JR makes. This is an attribute of a true leader.”

Millar won the Professional Development Award in 2022.

Patriot Award

Carol Nitschke Henrich, PGA Bright Grandview Golf Course

Carol Nitzschke-Henrich of Bright Grandview Golf Course has been named the 2023 Iowa PGA Patriot Award winner by the Iowa PGA Award’s Committee. The Patriot Award is presented to an Iowa PGA Professional who personifies patriotism through the game of golf and demonstrates unwavering commitment and dedication to the men and women who have valiantly served and protected the United States of America.

When Carol moved to the Des Moines area late in November 2008, she heard about the G.I.V.E. (Golf for Injured Veterans) Program that the Iowa PGA had in Riverside Iowa. It sounded like a great program to get involved with. When the G.I.V.E. Program started back up in the Spring of 2009, Carol heard that they could use some Instructors to help with the veterans.

That's when she started driving 220 miles round trip to Riverside to help with the G.I.V.E. Program and teach veterans on Saturdays as often as the weather allowed.

In 2013, she was approached by Mark Burke to see if she would be interested in helping with G.I.V.E. in the Des Moines area in conjunction with the Central Iowa VA Medical Center. Carol jumped at the chance to help the Veterans in Central Iowa. We held the G.I.V.E. Classes at Willow Creek where Mark and her both worked.

In 2014 the class moved to Warrior Run Golf Course in Norwalk where it stayed for 9 years. The unexpected death of Mark Burke and the owners of Warrior Run deciding not to open the course in 2023, we needed to find a new home for the G.I.V.E. Program. This year the G.I.V.E classes are being held at Terrace Hills Golf Course in Altoona, Iowa. Where she now manages and runs the program in Central Iowa.

Nitzschke-Henrich worked as a Teaching Professional for over four years at the National Tee Tournament in Iowa City, to help the legally blind and eligible disabled veterans the opportunity to develop new skills and strengthen their self-esteem through golf.

She was instrumental in helping in Washington, Iowa with a group of women veterans with their swings. Two other female teachers and her were on the driving range all day to help them when they finished or when they were just passing by the range. They could stop at the driving range for some help. She would work with their swings and then they would finish their round or just stay at the range and practice. It's always a great feeling when they hit a good shot and they are excited to keep playing.

Setting up the class and working each week with the G.I.V.E. students is always rewarding. It's great to see the excitement and enthusiasm they show when they hit a good shot. It's even better when they hit a couple of good shots in a row. They know they can do it and the good shots start to happen more often. They are very thankful for this great program and I'm thankful that I can help them.

Carol is there for the veterans when they have questions, if she doesn’t know the answer she will see if she can find an answer for them or direct them in the right direction. She has run the Central Iowa G.I.V.E. program in the Des Moines area and has worked with the program since moving to Des Moines.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Carol Nitzschke-Henrich as our 2023 Patriot Award Winner.

The Swings with Kids program is a golf instruction program within school districts which reside within the state or Iowa and/or Iowa PGA Section boundaries. The Swings with Kids program will introduce the game of golf with the direction of Iowa PGA Professionals inside physical education classes. Students will learn about golf and also benefit from the numerous life skills that the game of golf offers.

The vision for the Iowa PGA Foundation Swings with Kids program is “Helping kids excel by introducing them to the life skills that the game of golf provides.” These life skills include character, honesty, integrity, respect, perseverance and cooperation. Our golf is simply for children to “try golf”.

IOWA PGA

SWINGS WITH KIDS

One of the primary reasons the Iowa PGA Foundation chose the Tri-Golf and Golf Xtreme equipment is that it is high-quality equipment and curriculum at an affordable price. Since PE classes share equipment, each school generally only needs 1 bag. Many school districts do not have enough of a PE budget to purchase the equipment for their schools. Iowa PGA Professionals are working within their communities to raise funds for the Swings with Kids program. The school districts that do not have a local PGA Professional, however, need your help.

The Iowa PGA Foundation does not want a lack of funding to be the reason why golf cannot be a part of your PE curriculum.

What you can do?: Sponsor a school – $700 for an Elementary (TriGolf) and $1,250 for a Junior High (Golf Xtreme) Donate to your District – Funds will be earmarked for the area that you choose Give to the General Fund – Funds will be designated for the Swings with Kids program, helping to support unsponsored schools.

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? Following a seemingly never ending winter, the urge to get out and on the courses is stronger than ever. Iowa ranks third in golf courses per capita. That creates opportunity to golf somewhere new at a whim. Drive, chip and putt your way across the state supporting the golf ecomomy and improving (or at least enjoying) your game.
