From the Iowa PGA

Iowa PGA Golf Magazine – Winter Review of 2024

What another great year of golf in 2024. The Iowa PGA had a wonderful year. We had our second ever PGA of America individual win an award, Mark Egly winning the Deacon Palmer Award. Our first was SGM (ret) Jim Dickerson, PGA in 2014 for the Patriot Award. And our Section won the Herb Graffis award for growth of the game efforts.

Both awards were celebrated in Grand Rapids, Michigan in November. Watch both videos on our Iowa PGA YouTube channel.

I have been lucky as well to have won the Iowa Golf Association, PGA Professional of the Year. I accepted it on Friday, December 6th on behalf of the 280 Iowa PGA Professionals. Quite the honor and you can watch the video on the IGA’s YouTube channel.

We have so much to be thankful for in 2024. Now as we plan for 2025, the Iowa PGA and the staff will make it even better than before. Thanks for trusting in us.

Matt Erger, Owner/PGA Head Golf Professional of Airport National Golf Course has been named the 2024 Iowa PGA Golf Professional 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.

When asked on what this means to win this award Erger responded with, “I’m extremely humbled and very honored to receive this award. I love what I do, hopefully it shows to our customers and employees at Airport National and leads to success.”

Erger would consider his leadership approach a way that will inspire fellow Golf Professionals. He believes that by having an enthusiastic approach to his work he can show his Associates how rewarding and fun being a PGA Professional can be. He thinks that this can not only inspire current Golf Professionals but also those who have an interest in becoming a Golf Professional. Erger’s main leadership style is to lead by example and demonstrate behaviors he would like to see in his staff. He believes this style builds trust and connection.

During tournaments and section meetings, he often collaborates with fellow Professionals, discussing programs and business practices that are having a positive impact on our facilities. He knows he’s inspired by those fellow Professionals and hopes that he is doing the same.

As a player Erger has qualified for 2 National Club Professional Tournaments in 2013 and 2023. For the Iowa Section Player of the Year standings, Erger has finished inside the top 10 several times and in the top 20 almost every year since turning professional. He has only missed qualifying for the Cup Team once since turning professional.

Erger loves teaching, but only has so much time per week to give lessons around his other responsibilities. He will give 3-8 lessons per week during the outdoor season. One of his previous students, Megan Furnish won backto-back Iowa Women’s Amateur’s.

Since 2019 Airport National Golf Course has seen growth in sales increase. Before turning over merchandising to Ben Montgomery he did all the merchandising at Airport National Golf Course for 15 years. He won merchandiser of the year one time, and my Associate Professional Ben Montgomery also won Merchandiser of the Year last year in 2023.

This is Erger’s 30th year working at Airport National Golf Course, 25 years as a golf professional. His ownership group took over in 2019 after Mark Lemon retired. After taking ownership we needed to update areas of the facility. We’ve bought 40 new carts over the past 3 years and plan to buy another 20 in 2025. Our golf cart fleet is currently at 90 and we plan to maintain that number but refresh the fleet with new carts through our fleet upgrade plan. In 2020 we added a 20’ x 40’ addition to the pro shop installing 2 indoor simulator bays and a club repair/storage room. We needed a new septic system, irrigation system updates and some updated mowing equipment.

Last year Airport National had over 55,000 customers come through the doors to either golf, use the driving range, play mini golf or use the simulators. As we know, sales in golf are up at most facilities with the recent resurgence in golf. Sales are not the only thing up. Expenses are up as well he has been able to manage expenses in these years of growth, leading to profitable years.

Airport National hosted the regional finals for the PGA Junior League. We have also hosted several Drive, Chip and Putt qualifiers, a Junior Tour event and Pee Wee event annually. We also are part of the Iowa PGA Golf Book each year. He has also served on the awards selection committee 3 different times. He was part of the initial golf in schools’ program in Cedar Rapids. He went to the local middle school and instructed kids on how to golf and helped the PE teachers with the golf in schools programming.

Airport National has grown the game at the facility and in the community in a couple of different ways. Airport National hosts 25 plus fundraisers each year. Airport National has helped raise over $2.5 million in fundraiser dollars. Airport National has a well-attended Junior Program. The Junior Program includes a two-week summer camp and a monthly kid’s golf school throughout the spring, summer, and fall.

Ben Montgomery PGA Assistant Golf Professional at Airport National Golf Course had some nice comments about Erger, “Matt is the Head Golf Professional that you never feel like you work for rather one that you work with. Every day he comes to work with a smile on his face and makes sure the customers are enjoying their time at the golf course and making sure their needs are met. As a boss he goes out of his way to make sure his employees are given the best resources to perform their daily tasks. Matt takes having an opendoor policy to a whole new level. Our office door is always open because we do not even have a door to the office. Customers and employees can always come and talk to us when we are around.

I joke by saying Matt doesn't know the word NO. Unless he is saying, "No we will take care of it" or "No we will make it work" or "No we will find a way". By his leadership he has not only made me a better Golf Professional, but I am also better person by his guidance and leadership.”

Erger won the Assistant Professional of the Year in 2004 and Public Merchandiser in 2020.

On behalf of the Iowa PGA Members, Associates and Iowa PGA staff we congratulate Matt Erger as the 2024 Iowa PGA Golf Professional of the Year.

Iowa PGA Awards || 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.

At least one high school graduate will be the 2024 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.

2024 Charlie Burkart Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Story City, Iowa native, MaKenna Carlson on being selected as the 2024 Charlie Burkart Scholarship honoree by the Iowa PGA Foundation Charlie Burkart Scholarship committee.

This fall, Carlson will be attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to major in Professional Golf Management (PGM). PGM will allow her to utilize the skills that she has learned in her own career in golf alongside her love of golf and create a career that will allow her to positively impact others in golf.

When asked on what this means to win, Carlson responded with, “I am deeply honored to receive the Charlie Burkart Scholarship. Growing up in the world of golf, I have been fortunate to learn from some of the best in the game. My passion for golf has always been clear—I’ve long envisioned it as my career. The opportunity provided by the University of Nebraska Lincoln for golfers like myself is truly incredible. I am eager to share my enthusiasm for the game and educate others about its remarkable aspects and his scholarship will help make this dream a reality!”

2024 Career Advancement Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Karissa Rempe of Colo, Iowa has been named the 2024 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.

In the future she hopes to become either a PGA Head Professional or General Manager at a golf course, continuing to coach and teach golf as she does so. Teaching has been a part of my life since 2011 when she began her undergrad degree in Elementary Education. She has a desire to grow the game of golf in two ways, teaching Juniors and teaching women to play the game that she loves. There are multiple programs available for teaching Juniors the game. However, a lot of times, the cost is high, both for the instruction and the equipment, which makes it difficult for a lot of kids to join in. Her hope is to make golf accessible for all kids who want to participate in golf instruction. She also wants to create an environment in which women feel comfortable beginning to play golf without fear of judgment when they are struggling.

Written

from Kai Nelles perspective:

Golf is my passion, and I dream of one day representing the PGA of America. Being part of the PGA Golf Management Program here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a tremendous honor. As a recent transfer student from North Iowa Area Community College, I bring with me a completed minor in business along with three years of college golf and leadership experience. But my journey to this point is what truly defines me.

I grew up in Germany, where I spent most of my life. My dad introduced me to golf when I was 14, and it wasn’t long before I developed a deep love for the game. If I wasn’t out on the course, I was assisting the groundskeepers with daily operations or helping instructors with camps and private lessons. That’s when I first discovered my passion for helping players of all ages improve their game. Just like golf, life isn’t always a smooth swing. Between my freshman and junior years of high school, I faced significant challenges, including two hip surgeries that sidelined me for months. On top of that, I had to move out of my mother’s house when I was 15, lost my best friend to cancer, and had a very close call in a motorcycle accident when I was 17. While I don’t seek sympathy, those experiences have shaped me as a person. They taught me to cherish life, be a good person, pursue my passions, and support those around me—because life can change in an instant.

2024 Women's Fairway Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Melanie Tomczuk of Davenport Country Club has been named the 2024 Iowa PGA Women's Fairway Scholarship winner by the Iowa PGA Scholarship Committee.

The Iowa PGA Section Foundation annually awards one $1,000 Women’s Fairway Scholarship to assist females in furthering their education and training toward a career in golf, pursuing membership with the PGA of America.

The Women’s Fairway Scholarship is being awarded for the very first time in 2024. Tomczuk is the first ever award winner. There can only be “one first ever”.

Now that we are in 2024, she has taken her career to a whole new level. She is now the lead program director for the Junior Golf Programs and Women’s Development programs at Davenport Country Club. She was awarded the Iowa PGA Assistant Golf Professional of the Year in 2023. She also finally completed Level one of the PGA Associates programs. Her work ethic and love for the game has helped her understand that this career path is the perfect fit for her.

A lot to be thankful for…

A Message From the Iowa Golf Association

Golf continues to surge. According to the National Golf Foundation, there were 45 million people (up 9% from ‘22 and up 32% from ‘18) who played golf in some form or fashion in 2023. Nearly 40% of Americans (~123 million) engaged with golf in 2023, which includes playing, watching, reading, or following.

So it should come as no surprise that 2024 was yet another record-breaking year for the Iowa Golf Association. Our membership has now grown nearly 50% since 2019. Our championships are filling up faster than ever. We have added events and staff. It’s truly busier than ever.

With all of that said the highlight of the year was undoubtedly the opening of Golf House Iowa. The decades-long dream finally came true thanks to the help and generosity of hundreds. We moved in as a staff in late February, completed all of the final touches in early spring, and opened the doors to all in late May. It has been exciting and rewarding. We have had hundreds of visitors come and enjoy the facility. We hosted outstanding events, such as the Grand Opening Celebration, Women’s Golf Summit, Scholarship Banquet, and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. As the weather has turned toward winter, we have more and more kids coming through the doors to both learn the game and improve on our indoor putting green and golf simulators.

Our upstairs honors the history of the game with the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame and Museum. And with the first phase completed, we are now focusing on what new items we can add and highlight.

These successes didn’t happen by accident and there are many who deserve credit. But overall, I would like to thank a few groups who continue to mold the IGA and our Foundation.

Our donors - without the hundreds of you, Golf House Iowa, our scholarships, and everything else our Foundation does would not be possible. You truly are the backbone. Thank you so much for your belief and support of our missions. We are forever indebted to you.

Our staff - a wonderful group of people I get the privilege of working with every day. They are dedicated to our members and to making the organization better. They care deeply about the experiences we provide. Our interns were once again incredible this summer. We are all lucky to have this group’s talents here each and every day.

Our Board & Committee members - their leadership and vision are terrific. They have the proper perspective in mind at all times. They lead without micromanaging and have continued to provide our staff with the tools we need to succeed. It is a wonderful group to work with.

Iowa Golf Association

Our Volunteers - beyond our board & committee members, our volunteers fall into two categories - rules officials and course rating volunteers. The amount of time and travel both of these sets of people do for the organization is amazing. There is no way we could administer the number of tournament days or rate the number of courses we do each year without their knowledge and expertise. Their contributions are more substantial than people recognize. They deserve a lot of credit for the success of the IGA and I am extremely appreciative of that.

Our members - To the clubs/courses and the individuals - I thank you for your continued support. Whether it is signing up as a member club and promoting the GHIN Handicap Roster to your customers, signing up to play in an IGA Championship, or hosting various IGA events, we are your organization and are committed to ensuring that you receive substantial benefits for your membership. Thank you so much for helping us become what we are today.

Now, with 2024 nearly in the books and 2025 on the immediate horizon, we focus on setting records once again. We have an outstanding set of host venues for our championships and qualifiers, including the addition of the Iowa Adaptive Open. Plus, there are many other new items in the works to help us improve. We are excited about that and look forward to digging in. See you on the first tee soon enough!

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.

It is very meaningful and inspiring to be selected for this honor by peers and professionals that I look up to. I know what receiving this award means to those who have supported, mentored, and coached me in my early professional career. I am extremely honored to receive this award, as there are truly many great young Assistant Professionals in the Iowa PGA Section.”

Sutton’s overall performance as an Assistant Golf Professional has been on display at both Cedar Rapids Country Club and the Iowa PGA Section. He currently works as an Assistant Professional at Cedar Rapids Country Club, where he is in the middle of his sixth season at that facility. In 2024, Davis continues to help lead the golf operation at CRCC. He is actively involved in mentoring the two other Assistant Professionals, helping them work towards PGA membership and their overall growth as a golf professional. His role at CRCC finds him leading the tournament program as tournament director for all events, helping instruct the largest junior golf program in CRCC history, assisting members with their games around the practice facility, golfing with all varieties of members, and directing the outside operations staff.

Davis has been in the Iowa PGA Section for six years and has spent those years actively involved in the section by serving on committees and the board for the Assistants Association, as well as participating in many of the section tournaments each season. Davis served as the President of the Assistants Association from 2021-2023 after serving as Vice President the two years prior. He has served on the Iowa PGA Tournament Committee since 2020, where he has been involved in the decision-making covering section tournaments for his fellow professionals.

Some of the notable actions that Davis has been involved in are creation of the Assistants Teaching and Coaching Summit, adding the Assistants Match Play to the tournament schedule, and establishing a yearly PGA Level 1 workshop for associates.

While serving actively in the section, Davis has maintained a strong stance as a competitor in the section, winning his third Iowa PGA Assistants Championship this past September. He competed this May in the PGA Professional Championship held at PGA Frisco in Frisco, Texas. He has also played for Team PGA in the Iowa Cup each of the last six years, of which he takes great pride in competing against the state’s best amateurs annually. Davis enjoys being actively involved in the Iowa PGA Section, as he plays in a majority of the section tournaments and has made a lot of strong connections and friendships with fellow PGA Professionals throughout the years. He views these bonds with Iowa PGA Professionals and Associates as vital to being an active member of the section and helps his perspective serving on the various committees. Sutton has won the Assistant Professional of the Year in 2022.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Davis Sutton as our 2024 Assistant Professional of the Year.

Iowa PGA Awards || Golf Executive of the Year

Golf Executive of the Year Lance Marting Dubuque Golf and Country Club

Lance Marting of Dubuque Golf & Country Club has been named the 2024 Iowa PGA Golf Executive of the Year. The “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 Marting responded with, “Being named the Golf Executive of the Year for the Iowa PGA Section is an incredible honor, and it’s a reflection of the hard work and dedication of the entire team at Dubuque Golf and Country Club. I’m fortunate to work with such a supportive membership that encourages us to constantly improve. This recognition would not be possible without their trust and the tireless efforts of our staff, who strive daily to enhance the member experience. As we look ahead, my focus remains on continuing

to elevate what we do, always seeking new ways to improve our course and operations. This award is a testament to our commitment, and I’m excited to build on this success.”

Marting began employment at Dubuque Golf and Country Club in November of 2017 after spending 22 years in Wisconsin at the Janesville Country Club. In his last ten years in Janesville, he had the honor of being the club’s General Manager and PGA Head Golf Professional. Coming to Dubuque Golf was a homecoming of sorts; he grew up in Dubuque and learned to play golf at Dubuque Golf & Country Club. This Club was instrumental in fostering his love for the game of golf. It was also influential in directing his choice to attend the University of Wisconsin – Madison, where he received a scholarship to play golf and ultimately pursuing his career in golf as a PGA Member.

He has dedicated himself to enhancing our facility’s reputation and service standards, leading to significant growth and development. Under his leadership, Dubuque Golf has witnessed a record-breaking, 710 memberships; over 2,300 people. This was an increase from 440 total memberships in 2017. Our average age of membership has dropped by over 15 years of age. This is a testament to the vibrant and welcoming environment we have cultivated. Marting’s role has encompassed overseeing a dynamic peak-season staff of 189 dedicated individuals, ensuring that each member of our staff embodies the values and mission of our Club. Within the industry, many of our facilities had growth during the Covid-19 pandemic. We were incredibly fortunate to begin our growth and expansion in 2018 when we restructured membership classifications and began changing amenities for the membership. When the pandemic hit, our significant investments to that point could have been AND were questioned by our membership; in hindsight, our timing was perfect, and we were ready for membership growth.

Inspiring fellow golf professionals involves leading by example and sharing a vision of growth and opportunity. Through actions and initiatives, he strives to demonstrate what can be achieved with dedication and innovation. Whether it’s through hosting successful events, providing mentorship, or championing new ideas, he aims to inspire others to pursue excellence and embrace the evolving landscape of golf. Ownership of one’s job is very important to our success. Marting wanted AND needed staff to spend their time looking for ways to improve our team. He prides himself that there isn’t a task here that we aren’t unwilling to do. From trash collection or dishes to writing budgets. We all need to understand what the end product needs to be. The old adage, if you don’t know where we’re going, it’s difficult to get there.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Lance Marting as our 2024 Golf Executive of the Year.

Iowa Turfgrass Institute

Iowa GCSA 2024 a Year in Review

Someone is quoted as saying “Sometimes, you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead.” So now is a good time to look back and reflect on the successes the Iowa Golf Course superintendents experienced in 2024.

Iowa GCSA held the Wee One Benefit Tournament at Finkbine Golf Course, Iowa City. This was the 2nd year offering the Wee One Tournament. 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. Former Finkbine Golf Course Superintendent, Tim Gravert took the lead on planning for the tournament and knocked it out of the park. Current superintendent at Finkbine, Drew Boekholder had the course in superb shape and the weather was fantastic! The combination of all those factors resulted in a spectacular event with over 100 golfers participating! But of course the goal is to raise funds and that we did. Iowa GCSA was able to present a check to the Wee One Foundation for over $17,000! Well done!

The Annual Iowa GCSA Fall State meeting headed to Gates Park Golf Course in Waterloo. Again the day was greeted with fabulous weather! We were able to hold the annual meeting for members prior to golf outside in the patio area of the clubhouse! Bob Jorgenson, course superintendent, offered those attending a beautiful course and the Gates Park staff rolled out the red carpet for those attending. Another successful Fall Meeting in the books!

And finally, Iowa GCSA members will have the opportunity to participate in some exceptional education sessions at the annual Winter Seminar held at Wakonda Club, Des Moines hosted by course superintendent, Dane Wilson.

I also need to mention the superintendents who stepped up in hosting golf events for the Iowa Turfgrass Association in 2024. Tom Meier, Veenker Memorial, Ames hosted the ITI/ISU Extension Fundraiser in June. Over $8,000 was raised to help offset travel expenses for Dr. Thome, ISU Turfgrass Management professor. In July, the annual Field Day Classic returned to Grinnell College Golf Course. Course superintendent, Jason Koester, CGCS, once again offered a unique 9-hole course for those participating. Multiple tee boxes gave the golfers different looks as they played through twice for 18 holes! And finally, the ITI Benefit tournament was held at Echo Valley Country Club, Norwalk. As a neighbor to the Iowa Golf House, ITI's new home office, this was a natural choice for the annual tournament and fundraiser in 2024. Ryan Lux, Echo Valley superintendent, and his staff had the course in pristine condition. The views from the course are spectacular. And we hit the jackpot with weather once again.

Thank you to the superintendents who hosted events in 2024 and thanks to all the superintendents for your dedication and hard work so others can enjoy the great game of golf!

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

Iowa PGA Awards || Teacher of the Year

Teacher of the Year Butch Haverland, PGA

Palmer Hills GC and CEO Coach18

Butch Haverland of Palmer Hills Golf Course has been named the 2024 Teacher of the Year by the Iowa PGA. This honor is based on a professional’s entire record of achievements over their career.

When asked on what this means to win this award Haverland responded with, “It’s always been a goal, but to finally attain it is rewarding. It’s something I’ve thought about for some time and always thought, maybe one day I’ll get there. There are so many great teachers of golf, especially in the Iowa Section, and to be recognized is something special.”

This game is so hard and yet so rewarding. Each day you work with students you learn more about this game. It never ends. Each year, I see or hear about a new aspect to the game. A new driver swing, a new putting grip, a new chip shot approach. But what I’ve learned most is to keep it simple and fun for the student. Sometimes the old way is still the best.

I try to always tell my students they are good golfers. Most are better than they believe and need to hear this. Giving students confidence is very important. Give them goals and write them out. Tell them where they need to be in a month or by the end of summer. Of all the fundamentals, alignment I feel is the most important. It’s hard to get the student to see it properly and understand how important it really is. Playing the game relaxed is hard. Getting the student to relax is even harder. Teach slowly and eloquently. Make the students tell you what they are thinking. This helps in understanding how they think about the game. Golfers think putting is easy when actually it’s the hardest and having patience in the game is the biggest ingredient.

Haverland has recently completed his 10th season as a PGA Junior League Coach with over 80 different players. Presently coaching (22) different golf clinics for ladies and men all sold out with a total of over 110 attendees. Haverland coaches 6-8 hours per day, all ages. He most recently retired from Coaching Men’s Golf at Black Hawk College for the past 5 years. He is currently sitting on the board for the 20th year of Big Brothers Big Sisters Putt-Around committee. This is a Putt-Putt event and a major fundraiser to help fund matches. We average 1300+ players, over 100+ matches, raise over $85,000 net for the week in February. The total amount of donations is well over $1.4 million for its history.

The award is determined based off the nominee’s overall impact in teaching at nominee’s facility, unusual, innovative, or special teaching programs initiated or implemented, instructional articles, videos or publications written or produced, list of outstanding golfers whom the nominee has instructed, involvement in junior golf activities and in the community and innovative contributions.

Iowa PGA Awards || Deacon Palmer Deacon Palmer Sean McCarty, PGA Brown Deer Golf Club

Sean McCarty of Brown Deer Golf Club has been named the 2024 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.

While playing at the national level, McCarty tried his best to make Iowa known as one of the top playing sections in the country. McCarty has had a back problem since he was 16, which requires every year to have a lumbar rhizotomy every spring. This past January, he tore his bicep tendon and rotator cuff. He wasn’t supposed to play until July, which he started at the end of April to compete at the 2024 Senior PGA championship. His biggest problem in the last eight years is that he burned his right hand, making it difficult to hold the clubs when it's hot or on multiple golf days. He is in the process of working with the University of Iowa hospital burn unit to figure out a solution

without doing skin graft. He has tried many different golf grips to see if that would help.

McCarty’s goal as a PGA golf professional has always been to represent the Iowa PGA and his facility the best he could, whether it was running an event, giving lessons, or playing at the national level.

McCarty still tries to compete at the highest level so he can be an inspiration to young golfers around the state and at his facility. All golfers seem to have body ache, so it makes it easier for him to relate and maybe help them make adjustments in their swing to continue golfing. His biggest contribution is to let players know it sucks to have pain while playing, but it is possible to succeed at the highest level.

McCarty won the Iowa Section Player of the Year (2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022), all while going through the body aches and pains which hopefully shows that he doesn’t give up while it would be easy to do. He just feels like he needs to be an inspiration to the young golfers he teaches and coaches at his facility. He knows Mark Egly has been through a lot and has inspired him not to give up. He has won the National Deacon Palmer award, and rightfully so, with all the health problems he has gone through. He is his hero in his book not to give up!

Mark Egly, PGA Golf Instructor at Des Moines Driving Range, “Over the years, Sean has been very modest and humble about his successes, and sharing his problems is almost unheard of. This year, some of you know, Sean tore his bicep tendon, while pulling a ripcord that recoiled on him about January 18th of 2024. The tear required immediate surgery and would require 7 to 9 months of rehabilitation before playing again for the average person. Sean's strict discipline and rehab has amazed his doctor. His surgeon only permitted him to play if he did not take divots until further notice. If you saw Sean hit a thin shot this year that sailed over a green, that most likely was caused by following Dr. Nepola's advice!”

Joel Logan Sales Representative at TaylorMade Golf had this to say about McCarty, “As we all know in the section, Sean had shoulder surgery earlier this season. I thought his golfing season was over before it started. With his dedication and love for the game, Sean did what it took to make it back to playing. Not only is he back playing but playing at a very high level. I remember him telling me in the shop before his surgery that he would be back playing in only a couple months. I had my doubts but going forward if Sean tells me he can do something, I will never doubt him on anything ever again.”

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Sean McCarty as our 2024 Iowa PGA Deacon Palmer Award.

Iowa PGA Awards || Bill Strausbaugh Bill Strausbaugh Jay Giannetto, PGA Elmwood Country Club

Jay Giannetto of Elmwood Country Club has been named the 2024 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.

When asked on what this means to win this award Giannetto responded with, “It is an honor to be recognized as the Bill Strausbaugh Award Honoree for 2024. Bill Strausbaugh was known as a "Pro's Pro" which is a label that I strive to have associated next to my name. The Iowa PGA is full of first-class golf professionals and my career has been positively impacted by so many of them. As I become a more experienced professional, I look to continue to develop relationships with younger PGA Professionals and hope to have a positive impact on their careers like so many Pros had on my development as a PGA Professional.”

Giannetto’s journey in this industry has been enriched by the wisdom imparted by some of the finest PGA Professionals, and their mentorship has shaped him into the professional he is today.

What truly sets him experience apart is the genuine bonds of friendship woven over the years with his peers. Rather than assuming the role of a mentor, he aspires to be a friend, a confidant to fellow professionals and associates. The joy of sharing their victories, supporting them through their struggles, and providing guidance from his own experiences is immeasurable. The measure of his impact as a mentor isn't in grand gestures, but in the heartfelt messages, calls, and conversations he shares with fellow professionals throughout the year.

One of the cherished experiences in his professional journey has been the privilege to work alongside Matt Jennings during his time at Elmwood Country Club. His aim was to guide Matt in unravelling the business facet of our profession, while maintaining his passion for teaching and playing. His growth into the Head Golf Professional at Bos Landen fills him with immense pride, and he eagerly looks forward to his continued progress and his strong presence in the Iowa PGA Section.

Giannetto has been graced with the opportunity to strive for excellence as a PGA Professional, a journey that is both challenging and rewarding. Despite the hurdles, his commitment to improving every day has remained unwavering. The pride he feels in representing the PGA of America, wearing our badge with honor, and supporting our Section leaders is immense. His membership with the Iowa PGA is a badge of honor that he wears with immense gratitude.

He considers himself incredibly fortunate to have been able to contribute to the growth of golf through initiatives like Iowa PGA Swings With Kids, PGA Junior League, and more. The experience of being part of organizations that enhance children's lives in our community has been a source of great joy and appreciation. His involvement with the Lennox/ Quakerdale Pro-Am committee since 2015 has given him a profound sense of gratitude. It has shown him how golf can act as a powerful conduit for positive change. The Pro-Am's success, raising over 2 million dollars for the Quakerdale Foundation, has brought light to countless stories of impact on youth and families in central Iowa. Serving on this committee has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of his career, for which he is immensely grateful.

Giannetto is currently a sitting member of the Iowa PGA Board of Directors and Acting Co-Chair of the Tournament Committee. He has been a member of the Tournament Committee and the Awards Committee during his years in the Iowa PGA.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Jay Giannetto as our 2024 Iowa PGA Bill Strausbaugh Award.

Iowa PGA Awards || Professional Development Patriot Award

Mike

Armes, PGA

Geneva Golf & Country Club

Mike Armes of Geneva Golf & Country Club has been named the 2024 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.

Armes is the Lead instructor for GIVE (Riverside) and have been an instructor for GIVE over 10 years before becoming the lead. ln his position, he participates in fund raising by either playing in the pro-am or being an ambassador for the 2-day event at Riverside. This year he was the Keynote speaker for the fundraiser. He is an instructor for the previously named TEE Tournament for vision impaired veterans which is now named, National Disabled Veteran Golf Clinic. This event has 3 days of instruction for the yearly event. Some of the students are paraplegic, amputees, and all sorts of disabilities. This is an event! Have been supported by teaching for several years.

Next 18 is an organization that does camps for both veterans and first responders with a whole person approach, which

includes several days of instruction along with golfing with the veterans. This is a new event for me this year, and he will be supporting them again next year.

Armes is a veteran, having served in the Army as a Military Policeman in Thailand and San Francisco from May 1975 to May 1978. This allows him to communicate with veterans at their level and helps to make them more comfortable. ln striving to be a better instructor, he is now a Certified Golf Professional in Teaching and Coaching as well as PGA HOPE Certified. The importance of staying up to date with different approaches is important to not only the instructor but the student as well, as some of the disabilities we have in our students create challenges to traditional teaching methods.

Previously as President of the Assistant's Association and Board Member of the lowa PGA Section, he encouraged all members of the lowa Section to assist in instruction to provide a sense of giving back to the community as well as making them a better instructor as they must teach golfers with different injuries/disabilities.

Mark Egly, PGA Golf Instructor at Des Moines Driving Range, “I am proud to say Mike Armes is a PGA Professional who came to us late in life and now leads us from his military, police work, and golf professional background to lead our Give Program proudly! Please strongly consider him for our PGA Patriot Award!”

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Mike Armes as our 2024 Patriot Award Winner.

2024 Herb Graffis Iowa PGA Section

A Lasting Legacy is Rewarded

Iowa PGA Section has conducted player development programs for years, some are now national initiatives

Written by: pga of america

Committed to growing the game for more than 40 years, the Iowa PGA Section has been a pioneer in developing several successful player development programs that are now flourishing nationally. Some of the programs that are now flourishing nationally. Some of the programs have new names, but they took root years ago in the Hawkeye State.

Over the years, as new leaders have emerged, the Iowa PGA Section has continued its legacy of growing the game by continuing its proven player development programs while also introducing new ones as the popularity of golf swells. For its exemplary contributions and achievements in player development, the Iowa PGA Section is the 2024 recipient of the Herb Graffis Award for growing the game.

Former Iowa Section President Tom McCann and fellow officers Larry Gladson and Ross deBuhr introduced a Drive, Chip and Putt competition for youths in 1999. Patterned after football’s highly popular Punt, Pass and Kick, the golf version focused on the fundamentals of driving, chipping and putting with an emphasis on fun and attracting more youths to the game. In its heyday before national Drive, Chip and Putt competition took root, the Iowa PGA had more than 1,500 participants.

The competitors who qualified through regional events advanced to the finals at TPC Deere Run on Wednesday of John Deere Classic week. The champions in each age group were often greeted by Zach Johnson at the awards ceremony. Today, the competition has been rebranded as the Iowa PGA Skills Challenge.

“The Iowa PGA Section has had Drive, Chip and Putt for several years; we just weren’t smart enough to trademark the name,” chuckles Section Executive Director Greg Mason, PGA. “It was a way to get junior golfers in the Section involved in golf. It’s great to see it achieve such popularity nationally.”

The pioneering Iowa PGA Section, in conjunction with the Iowa Veterans Administration and Riverside Casino & Golf Resort, introduced its GIVE – Golf for injured Veterans Everywhere – Foundation and programming in 2007 to assist Veterans through the therapeutic powers in golf. Starting

with the first class of 20 in 2007, more than 2,300 Veterans have now been introduced to golf through GIVE programs, while more than 40 PGA Professionals (many who served in the military) from the Iowa PGA Section have donated their time to teach and lead clinics.

The Iowa PGA’s GIVE program was used as the model for the PGA of America’s HOPE program under PGA REACH and now involved more than 100,000 Veterans nationwide.

“Our past officers and board members in the Iowa PGA Section have always had great vision and have maintained a commitment to growing the game over the years through many diverse programs,” notes Erin Strieck Iowa PGA Section President and Head Professional and Director of Golf at Pinnacle Country Club in Milan, Illinois.

“Our current leadership follows many of the same principals that led our former leadership to endorse ongoing growth of the game programs and create new ones.”

The Iowa PGA Section is one of the smallest Sections in the country, with nearly 200 PGA Golf Professionals actively working and 58 Life Members. Yet, Iowa consistently has one of the highest per-capita participation rates in national and regional PGA Members or Associates are employed.

The Iowa PGA Section’s rich history of hosting player development program includes its 43-year-old-Junior-Academy, 26 years of the Iowa PGA Junior Tour, 20 years of the Pee Wee Tour, 16 years of the GIVE program for Veterans (2007), 12 years of Swing with Kids, and the Drive, Chip and Putt program that has been rebranded in Iowa as the Iowa PGA Skills Challenge that dates to 1999.

PGA Jr. League also has taken off in the Iowa PGA Section since 2017, with 40 of Iowa’s 86 green grass facilities hosting programs. In 2023, there were more than 750 players with 71 teams at the 40 host Iowa facilities.

The Iowa PGA Section continues to support the national Drive, Chip and Putt competition with the PGA of America, Augusta National and USGA, conducting 23 local

2024 Herb Graffis Iowa PGA Section

qualifiers each year.

How has the Iowa PGA Section been so successful in continuing to develop programs that grow the game for all ages and skill levels?

“The Iowa PGA does a nice job of R&D – researching and duplicating other great ideas and then adapting it to our golf customers,” explains Mason. “We’ve taken the successful aspects of other programs and adapted them to Iowa.”

Overcoming So Many Obstacles

Written by: pga of america

Egly’s Advice for Dealing with Challenges

• Take advantage of every possible moment with family, friends and those important to your life.

• Never give up. Quoting Yogi Berra, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.”

• A thought Arnold Palmer shared with me in 1979 when he helped me settle in Orlando: “We’re not here for ourselves, but the better we do the more we can do for others. Just remember that, Mark.”

Mark Egly has battled countless maladies to devote his time to the game and cancer prevention.

PGA of America Golf Professional Mark Egly has spent the past 37 years of his life overcoming obstacles. Now 68, the former tour professional who owns and operates the Des Moines (Iowa) Driving Range is not only a walking, talking, teaching medical miracle, but a living tribute to never growing up.

Egly is the very definition of a survivor. He is the recipient of the 2024 Deacon Palmer Award, which bestows special recognition on a PGA of America Golf Professional who personally displays outstanding integrity, character and leadership in the effort to overcome a major obstacle. Overcoming a major obstacle? How about five or six!

On May 5, 1990, Egly was on his way to a U.S. Open Section Qualifying event when he was involved in a serious auto accident on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River Bridge on I-80. Egly sustained significant injuries to his right arm and shoulder. He was involved in two more auto accidents when other drivers ran red lights – one in 2007 and another five years later – that led to injuries to his back, neck and right knee.

Following a series of surgeries, Egly qualified for PGA TOUR events in 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1995. Post-surgery in 1995, he made a comeback and qualified for the PGA TOUR’s 1995 John Deere Classic at age 40.

Then came a series of life-threatening obstacles. In February of 2018, Egly was diagnosed with COPD and Emphysema, even though he was a life-long non-smoker. Two days before Christmas that same year, Egly was told by doctors to get his affairs in order after tumor was found in his pancreas.

“I was told I had 30 percent chance to live six months, and maybe a 10 percent chance to live more than a year,” he recalls.

The resolute Egly underwent surgery for skin cancer in June of 2020 and suffered a stroke and the ability to speak while giving golf lesson three month later.

After taking numerous medical courses while in college at Michigan State University, Egly was deeply inquisitive over the years about the succession of maladies that had befallen him. So, he initiated research to find some answers.

“With more than four decades of research regarding my family’s ongoing health issues, I came up with a hypothesis,” recalls Egly, who entered the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame in 2022. “I requested a blood test for a circulating protein called Alpha1 Antitrypsin, which confirmed my hypothesis. Turns out I suffered from a disease called Alpha1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.”

Just as Egly has always assisted golfers of all skill levels, his research regarding Alpha1 Antitrypsin has helped

2024 National Deacon Palmer, Mark Egly

thousands, even saving hundreds of lives. He has spent his own money to fund a foundation to educate doctors and individuals about this relatively unknown medical calamity, while assisting in the production of additional Alpha1 Antitrypsin to make it available to the masses.

“My discovery has the potential to help millions of individuals in the U.S. to a path of better health and a longer, healthier life,” says Egly. “I was treated like a hypochondriac way too often because my blood test always came back perfect, when I was actually really sick. Alpha1 Antitrypsin is our body’s natural pain killer that fights off inflammation.” Egly, who was born and raised in Jackson, Michigan, attributes his never-lose-hope, resolute attitude to former PGA TOUR standouts Mike and Dave Hill, his boyhood idols, and Arnold Palmer.

“Arnold has been an inspiration and a mentor to me since the day I met him,” assures Egly. “In 1979 Arnold had a strong hand in helping me land my first job at Des Moines Golf and Country Club with one of his Wake Forest golf alumni.”

The irony of him receiving the Deacon Palmer Award, named after Arnolds’s father, is not lost on Egly. “Does knowing Arnold make this award doubly gratifying?” he asks. “No, it makes it more than 100 times more gratifying!”

These days, Egly continues to teach and hit balls occasionally. On his birthday last September, he played in an Iowa PGA Section event, captaining his team to a fourth-place finish.

Education Teaching & Coaching

Martin Chuck, PGA

Tiffin, Iowa– The 2024 Iowa PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit was held at PinSeekers Tiffin with special guest speaker Martin Chuck.

After a long and storied path as a golf professional, Martin started the Tour Striker Golf Academy in the Spring of 2011, and it has become one of the most successful Golf Academy and Coaching Programs in North America.

Ranked #7 Coach in America and #1 in Arizona by Golf Digest, Martin Chuck developed his love and talent for the game of golf north of the border in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Like most kids from Canada, ice hockey was Martin’s first sporting love. It wasn’t long before the allure of golf took hold. Like any true outlier in his given profession, Martin found himself in the shadow of two of the World’s best ball strikers and Canadian Legends, Moe Norman and George Knudson. “The time spent around George and Moe was invaluable and back then, I didn’t realize how truly special of an opportunity it was,” says Chuck. “I was able to watch, witness and in the case of Mr. Knudson, work for one of the best ball strikers of all-time. I started as a teaching assistant for Mr. Knudson 30 years ago. I guess I owe him for my overnight success as an instructor!”

Martin has consulted and taught PGA Tour Winners, Ryder Cup, President’s Cup and Major Champions. Martin is not a traveling Tour Coach. His preference is to stay home with his family and help amateur golfers improve their games. During summer months, escaping the heat of Phoenix, he takes his family and Tour Striker Golf Academy on the road to various facilities in the U.S., Canada and abroad.

Along the way, he owes a debt of gratitude to all the coaches who have helped him gain a greater knowledge of the game, including; Mike Hebron, Ben Doyle, Brian Manzella, Mark Evershed, Mike LaBauve, Herb Wimberly, Ben Kern, Mike Bennett, Andy Plummer, Joe Mayo, Aaron Olson, Jeff Ritter and Peter Croker, to name but a few.

Team Junior & Stroke Play July 1, 2024 | Briarwood Golf Club

Ankeny, Iowa – The Team Junior & Stroke Play was a Ace Point on the 2024 Iowa PGA Junior and Pee Wee Tour held at Briarwood Golf Club. All players will play their own individual ball from tee to green on each hole. There will be awards presented to the top 3 finishers from each division for the individual competition.

There will also be a team component: players will be in teams of 2 (maybe from the same or different divisions). These teams will take the best score from each hole between the two players towards the team score. Each player MUST play their own ball and finish out each hole or they will be disqualified from the individual competition. Players may choose their teammate, or the Iowa PGA will assign them.

Special thanks to PGA General Manager John Dinnebier, PGA Head Professional Chad Callan and the entire Briarwood Golf Club in hosting this event.

Quad Cities Junior and Pee Wee at Glynns Creek July 23, 2024 | Glynns Creek Golf Course

Long Grove, Iowa – The Quad Cities Junior and Pee Wee at Glynns Creek was an Eagle point event on the 2024 Iowa PGA Junior and Pee Wee Tour held at Glynns Creek Golf Course.

Due to the event yesterday at Glynns Creek being cut down to weather we are having to modify how we score and award. Any divisions that finished all of their holes, this won’t affect you. What we are going to do is determine the winner by counting the holes that the final group in each age division finished through. For example, if the last group in an age division was only able to play 15 holes, the competition will be scored through 15 holes. Player of the Year Points will we be awarded out accordingly. The Tournament Info Page results will reflect this as well.

Special thanks to PGA Head Professional Josh Bowlin and the entire Glynns Creek Golf Course staff for hosting this event.

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!

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. BY
