A Message From the Iowa PGA

Iowa PGA Executive Director

Iowa PGA Golf Magazine – Winter Review of 2025

What another great year of golf in 2025. As you read some of the articles from the IGA, Iowa Chapter of the GCSAA, District 8 Director Phil Anderson, incoming District 8 Director Aaron Krueger, Joe Canny at the PGM Program at University of Nebraska and our new Iowa PGA President JR Millar – you will see that each association is doing great things for golf on the Iowa Landscape. Whether that be playing opportunities, raising funds for charitable causes or just doing good things – we all have your back when it comes to anything golf related.

These associations have formed a c(3) corporation called the Iowa Golf Council. We work on behalf of each association member to better golf in Iowa and to enhance what each one does in a collaborative effort. Items we will be working on directly affect your golf facility. We will work on getting a permanent golf license plate in Iowa, property tax relief in Iowa, water issues, school start date and tourism to name a couple items. Our strategic plan is in place, and we will work to complete those goals and tasks on your behalf. If you are interested in attending our Iowa Golf Summit, it will be on May 11th at Wakonda Club in Des Moines. We will also be hosting a Women’s Golf Summit in 2026. The date and site have not been announced yet. Be on the lookout on our website(s) to sign up for these two events.

The Iowa PGA had a wonderful year. Iowa PGA Golf Hall of Famer, JD Turner, was inducted into the PGA of America Hall of Fame in November. He joins Dr. Gary Wiren and Jock Olson, two prominent PGA Members with Iowa Ties into this prestigious Hall of Fame. It was quite a celebration. Some of you may remember that JD had a TV Golf Show for 25 years. Was in on the Top 50/100 lists of teachers until he retired in 2012. He is one of the greatest all-time players in Iowa as an Amateur and Professional.

We have so much to be thankful for in 2025. In 2018 the Iowa PGA administered 108 events. This was anything we touched from Junior Tour, DCP, PGA Jr League, education for our PGA Professionals and professional tournaments. In 2015, we administered 186 events. Quite the growth to help deliver opportunities to enhance golf in Iowa and Western Illinois. Our seven staff members go above and beyond working hard with our wonderful PGA Professionals to deliver these events. Now as we plan for 2026, the Iowa PGA and the staff will make it even better than before. Thanks for trusting in us.

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.

President's Report

Iowa PGA President's Report

JR Millar, PGA - Lake Bracken Country Club

Hello everyone, this is J.R. Millar, your new Iowa PGA President. I am thrilled about this new role and excited for what is to come for our section. I would like to start by wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season. Enjoy this slower time as a chance to spend time with your loved ones or plan a getaway as we all finish another busy golf season in the Iowa Section. This is the perfect opportunity to rest up, recharge the battery, and plan for what will be another great year to come. For those that do not know me, I would like to share my PGA Journey and give everyone a little background of my roots.

I grew up in West Central Illinois on our family farm. My first exposure to golf came from my sister’s boyfriend (now husband of 30 years) Cory Bizarri, PGA. He would hit shag balls out into the adjacent corn field; it sure looked interesting. I played my first round of golf right before entering high school. I played all four years and then headed to college with zero golf aspirations. My college degree is in meteorology. I had planned on being a television weatherman. I began working for Cory in 2001 as a summer pro shop attendant while still in college. I developed a love for the business over 2001 and 2002. I decided to pivot and proceed down the path of a PGA Professional.

I took and passed my PAT in 2003 and immediately enrolled in the PGA Education program. I was then named the Assistant Golf Professional at Lake Bracken C.C. from 2003 to 2006. Upon receiving my Class A membership in the PGA of America in early 2007, I was promoted to the Head Golf Professional. I carried this title until 2023, when I also became the PGA General Manager at Lake Bracken C.C. It is hard to believe that this will wrap up my 25th year at Lake Bracken, not bad for a 35-year-old, or 44.

Everyone’s journey is different and that is ok. I never thought I would be in the position that I am now. Whether you are in this field because you love to play the game, teach the game or manage your facility, one thing is common; WE LOVE THIS GAME.

I am humbled and proud to be your President for the next two years. We have an amazing Board and the best PGA staff in the country. I may be partial, but I would put them up against any other section. As we continue to promote and grow the game of golf throughout the Iowa Section, I ask for all of your continued support of our initiatives. Play in more section events, host a junior tournament, volunteer for GIVE, these all support the section in a positive way. Prove to your facility and community that you are the leader.

Finally, I would like to again wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a blessed holiday season.

J.R. Millar, PGA President of the Iowa PGA Section & Foundation

Incoming District 8 Director

I am honored to serve as the Incoming District 8 Director on the PGA of America’s Board of Directors — an opportunity I have aspired to since my time as an officer on the Iowa PGA Board. I am grateful to the Iowa PGA Board for entrusting me with this responsibility. I would like to take a moment to introduce myself — both professionally and personally — and to share a couple of goals as I begin this new chapter of service.

I became a PGA Member in 2007 and joined the Iowa PGA Board in 2009 as Tournament Chairman, also serving on the Membership Committee. In 2013, I was elected Iowa PGA Secretary and from 2017-2019, I had the privilege of being the Iowa PGA President. Following my time on the Iowa PGA Board, I served two terms on the PGA of America’s Tournaments & Member Championships Committee and one term on the PGA Mentoring Task Force.

Over the years, I have learned a great deal from our Past Presidents - Steve Hutton, Greg Mason, Dick Specht, Dave Schneider, John Valliere, Matt Sherlock, and Erin Strieck. Our section is in great hands with Greg Mason & staff, President JR Millar, and the current board. These experiences and relationships developed while serving have strengthened my passion for PGA governance and deepened my desire to give back to the Association that has provided me so much.

During my tenure on the Iowa PGA Board, I worked with several outstanding District 8 Directors - Jeff Smith, Chris Thompson, Jeff Drimel, Dave Schneider and Greg Neujahr – each of whom has served as a mentor and source of inspiration. I am also grateful to continue learning from current District 8 Director, Phil Andreson, and at-large Director, Dawn Neujahr, during my shadow year on the PGA of America Board. It is exciting to note that District 8 will have three representatives in the boardroom this year — more than any other District.

My goal is to represent the Iowa PGA and District 8 with professionalism, transparency and integrity. I am committed to ensuring that communication from the PGA of America is effectively shared with each section, especially as I seek input from the officers and executive directors in our district. I believe that open and consistent communication is essential to aligning the PGA’s national initiatives with the unique needs of our sections and members.

On a personal note, I grew up in Fulton, Illinois, where golf played an integral role in my family and upbringing. I graduated from the University of Iowa, playing on the men’s golf team under coach & PGA member, Terry Anderson. My wife, Tonya, and I have been married for 22 years, and we have one daughter, Lydia, a freshman at Iowa State University studying Graphic Design. Professionally, I have worked for great PGA mentors and learned from each of them - Todd Smith, Pete Beringer, Steve Reilly and Dave Schneider. I am currently in my 15th season as the Director of Golf at Wakonda Club, hosting the Principal Charity Classic on the PGA Tour Champions since 2013. From lifelong relationships with PGA colleagues to competing in the 2014 PGA Championship, I am deeply grateful for the many opportunities my PGA membership has provided.

I am honored to serve the members of the Iowa PGA, District 8, and the PGA of America, I look forward to connecting with you at our upcoming section meetings, and I welcome your ideas, questions, and feedback at any time.

Sincerely,

Aaron Krueger, PGA

Board

of Directors

PGA of America Don Rea appointed Erin Strieck of Pinnacle Country Club to the PGA Board of Control this last week at the PGA Annual Meeting in Frisco, Texas. She will represent not only the PGA of America, but she will be representing the Iowa PGA Section.

Strieck has these nice words to say about what it means to her to be on the PGA Board of Control, “Being chosen for the PGA Board of Control is both an extraordinary honor and a profound responsibility. To me, this opportunity represents trust, recognition, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to the future of golf and the PGA of America. This selection is a defining moment in my career; an opportunity to continue to serve, and to give back to the sport and the association that has shaped my life.”

Strieck is a Past President of the Iowa PGA from 2021-2025. This highly decorated PGA Professional won the Iowa PGA Golf Professional of the Year in 2023 and Professional Development in 2020.

PHIL ANDERSON, PGA | General Manager

Hazeltine National Golf Club

The PGA of America’s 2025 Year in Review reflects a period defined by leadership transition, brand momentum, meaningful investment in its professionals, and a clear voice in the evolution of the modern game. From governance shifts to championship highlights and workforce development, the Association reinforced its mission to serve PGA of America Golf Professionals and grow golf at every level.

Leadership & Governance: A New Chapter

The year opened with a significant transition in the officer corps and executive leadership.

• Don Rea Jr. assumed the role of the 44th President.

• Nathan Charnes stepped into the Vice President position.

• John Lindert, after completing his term, became Honorary President.

• Eric Eshleman was elected Secretary, rounding out a forward-focused leadership team.

In a major organizational milestone, Derek Sprague a past PGA President and career club professional, was appointed CEO. His elevation reinforced the Association’s commitment to ensuring PGA of America Golf Professionals remain at the center of strategy and operations, particularly as the broader golf industry navigates changes.

Brand Building: “We Love This Game” Expands Nationally

The Association’s multi-year brand campaign, “We Love This Game,” grew in national reach and cultural visibility through its partnership with Omaha Productions. After a successful debut phase, the campaign’s second wave reached mainstream audiences through placements on ABC, ESPN, Monday Night Football, and multiple digital platforms.

Signature pieces such as “When I Grow Up” and “18 Fore 18” featuring Peyton Manning and PGA of America Golf Professional Tony Pancake strengthened public perception of PGA of America Golf Professionals as skilled coaches, leaders, and community anchors. Survey data reflected a meaningful rise in awareness that the PGA of America is distinct from the PGA Tour, alongside improved perceptions of the Association’s modernity, trustworthiness and diversity.

Education & Workforce Development: A Growing Talent Pipeline

PGA Education continued to anchor the Association’s long-term impact, organized around three clear career tracks: Teaching & Coaching, Golf Operations, and Executive Management.

Key growth indicators included:

• A 36% year-over-year increase in PGA Associate participation, reaching nearly 7,000 participants.

• Enrollment of 1,800+ students in PGA Golf Management University Programs.

• Completion of the fully integrated PGM 3.1 curriculum, emphasizing business simulations, leadership, and modern coaching tools.

Nearly 25,000 mentor engagements over the year underscored the Association’s commitment to supporting its emerging professionals.

Inclusion & Impact: PGA REACH and PGA WORKS

The PGA of America REACH Foundation continued advancing opportunities for youth, Veterans, and underserved communities.

• PGA Jr. League and PGA HOPE expanded their footprints at facilities nationwide.

• PGA WORKS remained a leading workforce diversification initiative, with fellowships, scholarships, and championships creating pathways for individuals historically underrepresented in the golf industry.

Personal stories were front and center during the 2025 National Awards at Omni PGA Frisco, which honored outstanding PGA of America Golf Professionals including Scott Paris (Golf Professional of the Year), Jason Baile (Teacher & Coach of the Year), and Tony LaFrenere (Golf Executive of the Year).

Championships, Advocacy & the Changing Professional Game

The PGA Championship remained a cornerstone of the Association’s identity and economic engine. The 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow featured a record purse of $19 million, reinforcing the event’s stature among the men’s majors.

The Association also took a public stance on several key issues:

• It voiced strong concerns over the proposed golf-ball rollback, citing potential negative impacts on recreational golfers and the PGA of America Golf Professionals who serve them.

• Executed another chapter of the Ryder Cup with historic numbers at Bethpage, that helped drive the association forward. placements on ABC, ESPN, Monday Night Football, and multiple digital platforms.

109th Annual Meeting: Returning Home to Frisco

The year culminated at the 109th Annual Meeting at Omni PGA Frisco, the Association’s home campus. The event featured officer and CEO addresses, the National Awards ceremony, PGA Hall of Fame inductions, and collaborative sessions among delegates, students, PGA LEAD participants, and section leaders.

President Don Rea Jr. framed the week as a unifying moment where the Association recommits to its mission: empowering PGA of America Golf Professionals and elevating the global golf experience.

Looking forward to working with Aaron Krueger as he enters the board room this year to further the organization forward in 2026.

Luke Donah, PGA Head Golf Professional of Cedar Rapids Country Club has been named the 2025 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 Donah responded with, “I am truly humbled to receive this recognition,” Donah said. “This award reflects the support of my family, my team, our membership at Cedar Rapids Country Club, and the mentors who have guided me throughout my career. I am so blessed and fortunate to have the opportunity to wake up every morning and be an ambassador of the game that I love, to a club and community that I have also come to love.”

Donah’s career is marked by an unwavering commitment to elevating the game and those around him. A nationally recognized instructor, he has twice been ranked Golf Digest’s #1 Teacher in Iowa (2019-2023), has been featured on Golf Digest’s Best in State Teacher Rankings (20232026), and has been honored as one of Golf Digest’s Best Young Teachers in America from 2021–2025, making him one of the youngest professionals ever to achieve this recognition. His students include many of the state’s top professional, amateur, and junior golfers, and in 2025 alone, several of his students captured prestigious state and regional titles.

As Head Golf Professional, Donah has transformed the Cedar Rapids Country Club experience. Under his leadership, golf shop sales more than doubled in just three years, earning him the 2023 and 2025 Iowa PGA Private Merchandiser of the Year Award and a feature in GOLF Magazine. He has also elevated tournament operations, increasing participation across the board, introducing innovative branding and member experiences, and bringing nationally recognized entertainment to the club’s signature events. Donah’s impact extends well beyond the course. Membership engagement has soared under his leadership with rounds played up

78% since 2021 alongside continued membership growth. He spearheaded the creation of the Cedar Rapids Junior Golf Academy, the club’s first Evans Scholar caddy program in decades, and in the wake of the devastating 2020 Derecho, played an active role in guiding Cedar Rapids Country Club through a significant facilities improvement plan that included the construction of a brandnew 7,000-square-foot putting course, a 3,500-square-foot golf shop, and a 5,500-square-foot indoor TrackMan studio, along with the restoration of the club’s historic 18-hole golf course. These projects not only revitalized the club after the storm but also positioned it as one of the premier golf destinations in the Midwest.

A leader in the Iowa Section PGA, Donah has served on the Iowa PGA Board of Directors since 2023, chaired key committees, and hosted multiple educational summits and workshops to mentor the next generation of PGA Professionals. He has guided several of his assistants to award-winning careers and positions at some of the country’s most prestigious clubs, exemplifying his dedication to staff development and professional growth.

Larry Gladson, 1994 & 1998 Iowa PGA Professional of the Year, had some nice comments about Donah, “Luke’s pride in Cedar Rapids Country Club has helped to foster a positive culture within the membership and staff of the Club. Luke is a historian; he loves to research and share the long history of the game and the Club while in his own humble way contributing to impacting the future of the Club. Cedar Rapids Country Club is proud of their Donald Ross designed golf course, and they have a great ambassador of the Club in Luke Donah. As his young career continues to evolve, I am confident Luke will use his platform to continue making future contributions to the game. In my opinion, Luke is one of the young rising stars in our profession!”

Jock Olson, 2002 National PGA Golf Professional of the Year, also had some nice comments about Donah, “Over the past ten years, I have had the opportunity to not only observe Luke as the head professional at the Cedar Rapids CC, but I have also heard considerable feedback from members on what an excellent job Luke has done since coming to CRCC. Having held this same position from 1982 through 1993, I totally understand that it takes a great deal of skill and patience to represent a prestigious club like CRCC. Knowing the requirements to reach the level of Golf

Golf Professional of the Year, I feel that Luke is well on his way to being one of the best of the best in his career as a PGA Professional.”

Donah won the Merchandiser of the Year for Private in 2023.

On behalf of the Iowa PGA Members, Associates and Iowa PGA staff we congratulate Luke Donah as the 2025 Iowa PGA Golf Professional of the Year.

Congratulations to Sterling Mcllravy of Blue Top Ridge has been named the 2025 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.

His background in the game began his sophomore year of high school. Once he could drive to the course, he spent as many hours as he could practicing and playing. That passion for the game propelled him to a successful high school and collegiate career. Upon graduating college, he began his professional playing career. Though he was not the most successful during his time as a playing professional, he had the opportunity to play alongside and learn from some incredible players and coaches. During his time playing professionally he also worked in the game. He taught lessons independently for a couple years, spent a semester as the Assistant Men's Golf Coach at Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and has been an Instructor at Blue Top Ridge at Riverside for the last two summers. All these experiences have made him the person and instructor he is today.

His long-term goal is to be a Top 100 Teacher in America. This goal is only possible with countless hours of teaching, training, and continuous education.

2025 The Max Shields Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Gracie Russell of Woodhull, Illinois on being selected as the 2025 The Max Shields Scholarship honoree by the Iowa PGA Foundation The Max Shields Scholarship committee.

The Max Shields Scholarship awards a $2,000 scholarship each year to anyone wishing to get into the golf business as a PGA Professional, Golf Course Superintendent or as a Club Manager. The criteria for recipients include interest and potential for future contributions to the game of golf in any of these fields in the golf business. They may be a graduating high school senior, post-graduate or even someone looking into golf as a second career.

She started playing golf when she was seven years old out on the driving range. Although she didn’t play much or play in any tournaments, she still got out there and learned how to swing the club. It was eighth grade when she started playing a lot more and thought that she might have a good future with golf. She played in only two Iowa PGA Junior tournaments before her freshman year. Once she got to high school there weren’t any other girls going out, so she must play on the boy’s team. Throughout her high school years, she competed in many Iowa PGA Junior tournaments every summer. Competing in the Iowa PGA Junior Tournaments and on the high school boys team taught her perseverance, patience, and dedication. Her senior year her high school finally had the numbers to put together a girls’ team.

Russell is committed to playing and studying at the University of Dubuque this fall. She plans on continuing her golf career at the University of Dubuque studying Business Administration. She plans on using this background to become a club manager. The reason she has decided to pursue a career in the golf industry started when she first volunteered to work at the junior camp at her home course. She has volunteered at her local youth camp since the summer before her eighth grade and every summer since. It has been very rewarding in seeing the interest grow in the younger campers.

2025 Women's Fairway Scholarship Recipient

Congratulations to Rochelle Beardsley of Sunnyside Country Club has been named the 2025 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. Qualified, interested females are welcome to apply. The Women’s Fairway Scholarship is funded by Master PGA Professional Lisa Miller, the first female PGA member in the Iowa PGA Section and by her spouse Sharon Hawn a lifelong educator, public health professional and avid golfer.

She values the skills and lessons playing golf has taught her throughout her life. It’s provided some of the most memorable experiences and opportunities of her life, and she knows that it will continue in her future. She believes playing golf is a great way to learn lessons like integrity, sportsmanship, and discipline. She wants to be a role model for younger female golfers, as she didn’t have any women golfers to look up to growing up. Only having met one female golf professional in her life, becoming one herself is another way to make sure that someone else experiences that sooner in their life than she did. Becoming a PGA member is a goal for her to establish more credibility in her career, for college coaching again in the future, as well as growing the game. It’s our duty to keep the game around for future generations, and by encouraging more women to participate and work in the golf industry, it can only inspire more girls and young women. This scholarship would allow her to continue working towards her PGA certification and pursue her career goals.

Scholarship Recipients

The Iowa PGA Section Foundation annually awards at least one $2000 Morris Family Scholarship to assist in furthering a high school graduate interested in or planning on playing college golf to assist in furthering their education. The Morris Family Scholarship is funded by friends and family. Scholarship winners are selected based on their experience and activity in golf, their desire to play college golf, leadership skills, high school activities and interest and financial need.

2025 Morris Family Scholarship

Congratulations to Marshalltown, Iowa native, Natalie Henson on being selected as the 2025 Morris Family Scholarship honoree by the Iowa PGA Foundation Morris Family Scholarship committee.

Next year, Henson is signed to play at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Her major is Aviation, and she is working towards becoming a commercial pilot. It is going to be a lot of work; however, with what golf has taught her to be persistent and how to work hard, she knows she will succeed. Becoming a pilot costs more than just a college degree. Henson is working to get her private pilot’s license now. I am blessed to have the chance for further education. Many women didn’t have this opportunity previously, especially in Aviation. A 4.0 unweighted GPA and ranked first in her class demonstrates how serious she is when it comes to her education.

When Henson was little, she started to play golf to connect with her family. We often played it together for an enjoyable afternoon. Her favorite place was the sand traps. She would purposely hit it in there to play in the sand. Then she started to get a little older and compete competitively in the Junior League team at Elmwood Country Club, the Iowa Jr. PGA tournaments along with the Drive, Chip and Drive Qualifiers. After that, she started to play in Hurricane Junior Golf Association tournaments and Iowa Golf Association Tournaments. Henson continuously works with Ken Schall to improve her swing and golf game.

2025 Morris Family Scholarship - $500

Congratulations to Sumner, Iowa native, Chloe Bolte on being named the 2025 Iowa PGA Morris Family Scholarship winner by the Iowa PGA Morris Family Scholarship Committee.

That moment sparked something in her–it gave her confidence and a clear sense of direction. She realized that if she was willing to put in the work, she could achieve what she truly wanted: to play college golf. From that point on, everything she did was driven by that goal.

Watching the girls competing at the next level inspired her deeply. She saw them at tournaments throughout the summer and couldn’t help but imagine herself in their shoes. She wanted to be like them-not just because they were great golfers, but because they had achieved something she deeply aspired to.

When asked what this means to win, Bolte responded with, “I am honored to be recognized as a Morris Family Scholar. I would like to thank the Morris Family for their generosity in creating this scholarship for aspiring collegiate golfers.”

2025 Morris Family Scholarship - $500

Congratulations to Ankeny, Iowa native, Duncan Beelner on being named the 2025 Iowa PGA Morris Family Scholarship winner by the Iowa PGA Morris Family Scholarship Committee.

Beelner’s journey with golf began at age 15 when his dad introduced him to the game. What started as a casual hobby quickly turned into a passion. Over the past four years, Beelner has dedicated himself to improving as a player. Beelner competed in tournaments and was a proud member of his high school golf team, where he gained valuable experience, discipline, and camaraderie. He also enjoys playing recreationally with friends and family, keeping the joy and social aspect of the game alive.

While his college program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is focused on PGA Golf Management, he has a strong desire to continue playing competitively at the collegiate level. Whether through club tournaments, intramurals, or local amateur events, he plans to stay actively involved in the game while pursuing his degree. Playing golf in college will not only help him sharpen his skills but also keep him connected to the competitive side of the sport the he loves.

When asked what this means to win, Beelner responded with, “I’m incredibly grateful to receive the Morris Family Golf Scholarship as I begin my journey in the PGA Management program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. I am very passionate about golf and this award motivates me to pursue my goal of growing the game of golf through hard work and dedication. The financial aid provided will help me achieve my goals. I am also grateful to the Iowa PGA for their work around the game of golf.”

2025 Morris Family Scholarship - $500

Congratulations to Ames, Iowa native, Macy Button on being named the 2025 Iowa PGA Morris Family Scholarship winner by the Iowa PGA Morris Family Scholarship Committee.

This fall, she will attend Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa, majoring in their Professional Aviation Flight Program with a minor in UAS drone operator. She has also committed to playing collegiate golf for Morningside’s Women’s golf team. She is a high school senior on the Ames High School Varsity Golf Team, a member of The Veenker’s 72 Golf Task Force, and a Junior IPGA member.

She has also been learning to fly at the Ames Municipal Airport and will obtain her private pilot’s license within the next month. She also plans to be a flight instructor while still attending college. This will allow her to help other flight students strive to earn their pilot’s license and also be a mentor as a female flight instructor for other females in this industry. Button plans on having an aviation career, whether flying a commercial airliner, a corporate jet, or a cargo plane. Her path will be a long journey as she attains all the different hours and licenses, but she is determined to be a trailblazer by creating an easier path for other females. She also plans to obtain my agriculture drone endorsement in her first year at Morningside.

When asked what this means to win, Button responded with, “I am honored and grateful by the Morris Family’s generosity to receive their scholarship.

JD Turner

Kentucky PGA Section

John David “JD” Turner learned the game at a nine-hole golf course in Perry, Iowa. He attended the University of Iowa, where he was the first recipient of the Herman Sani Golf Scholarship, the captain of the golf team and finished 4th in the All Big Ten Championship.

A PGA of America Golf Professional since 1970, his competitive record comprises a combined 67 professional and amateur victories, including five Iowa Open Championships. He qualified for and competed in two U.S. Senior Opens. JD was named PGA Head Golf Professional at Lakeshore Golf & Country Club in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1972. He served as Nebraska Section President from 1977-79 and was the 1979 Nebraska PGA Player of the Year. In 1980, he was named Head Professional and Director of Golf at Des Moines Golf & Country Club, where he served for 14 years. He was key in bringing the 1999 U.S. Senior Open to the facility, which would later host the 2017 Solheim Cup, as well. As an instructor, Turner earned PGA Master Professional status in 1993, and in 1980 he began producing a series of seven instructional tapes designed for high school, college, library and deaf students, eventually used in 2,000 institutions. In 1984, he went on cable television, creating “The Iowa Golf Show” (later called “JD Turner Golf University”), which reached up to 1.2 million viewers. In 1994, he established the Turner Golf Group, which staged corporate golf outings and tournaments. Turner was a mainstay of Golf Magazine’s “Top Teachers” list, appearing from its inception in 1991 until 2012. A multi-award winning PGA of America Golf Professional, Turner was the Iowa PGA Section Golf Professional of the Year (1989) and Teacher & Coach of the Year (1986, ‘87, ‘88, ‘98). He was given the Iowa Golf Association Lifetime Achievement Award (1990) and inducted into the Iowa PGA Hall of Fame in 1995, the youngest inductee at that time. Turner is also a member of the Graceland Hall of Fame (1989).

Jacob Bermel, PGA Pheasant Ridge Golf Course

Jacob Bermel of Pheasant Ridge Golf Course has been named the 2025 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 committee also considered the contributions to the success of the nominee’s facility, the nominee’s contributions to the game of golf, the character of the nominee and his respect for other professionals. Finally, the determination of the award looked at the example of professionals who have enhanced their careers through the nominee, the nominee’s ability to play golf and previous Section awards or community involvement activities.

When asked what it means to win this award Bermel responded with, “Getting this award feels like a culmination of hard work paying off. I’ve seen this award given to many deserving candidates, several of whom have had an influence on my own career as an assistant, and their examples of how to fulfill our roles as well as the way in which they represent our section is always something I have strived to be. My own dad won this award in 1987, so it’s exciting to see this award come back to our course on my behalf. The Iowa

Section, Pheasant Ridge, and the game have golf have always been a major part of my life, and have shaped who I am today. I thank the committee for considering me for this accolade, and I am proud that my accomplishments this past year as an assistant, an employee, a coach, and a player qualified me to receive this award.”

In terms of Bermel’s overall performance as an Assistant Golf Professional, he is truly in it for the business and furthering the game of golf in his community. Bermel has grown up in the Iowa Section and knows what it takes to run the day-today operations at a daily fee golf course. He is comfortable running any event both from scoring and outing logistics, as well as food and beverage services. He runs the Junior Golf program at Pheasant Ridge each summer, which has grown to over 125 players, and helps with leagues both through the Iowa PGA and locally. Bermel serves as the manager for training and scheduling all of his employees, but most days you can find him behind the counter taking greens fees or cooking and serving a meal to their members. Although he loves teaching and growing people’s games on the golf course, he believes it is his dedication to what happens under the roof of the Pheasant Ridge Pro Shop that distinguishes him as an Assistant.

Bermel is currently the Vice President of the Associates Board, was previously Secretary, and will step in as President when Jacob Shultz’s term is over. Bermel’s mission as part of his role on the Assistant’s Board is to help Associates get through the program to become PGA Members. He has been instrumental in getting several associates to become Class A members of the PGA, whether it be reviewing their coursework, helping them through a lesson for their portfolio, or even caddying for them during their PAT.

When his working hours allow, Bermel does his best to keep his game in-check to be able to participate in section events throughout the year. His favorite is always the Iowa Assistant PGA Professional Championship which by his scoring and classification allowed him to represent the Iowa Section at the Assistant PPC 3 times in the last 6 years, making the cut each time.

This is Bermel’s first Iowa PGA Section Award.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Jacob Bermel as our 2025 Assistant Professional of the Year.

Iowa PGA Awards || Golf Executive of the Year

JR Millar, PGA Lake Bracken Country Club

JR Millar of Lake Bracken Country Club has been named the 2025 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 Millar responded with, “Having the dual role of PGA General Manager and the Director of Golf is challenging. I owe a great deal of thank yous to all of the managers that work WITH me to help cover all aspects of life at Lake Bracken. This includes, but is not limited to, the complete food and beverage dept, golf course maintenance, swimming pool, lake health, grounds and infrastructure throughout the community. I am truly humbled to be the recipient of this award.”

Millar’s philosophy on leadership is always lead by example. He has always been a “take charge” individual. He will get into the trenches in any situation. When he first ran for the Board, he knew that he wanted to help the Section and his fellow professionals. This has been and continues to be extremely rewarding. He has chosen to put himself out there when running for an Officer position. He hopes that what he does and who he is can inspire the next generation of Section leaders.

As previously stated, he strives to lead by example. He makes every effort to participate in Section Tournaments, attend educational events, and support the Section in any way possible. His thought process is simple: He cannot ask other professionals to play, participate, run for the board or host a Jr. tour event if he is not doing the same thing.

He strives to promote and participate in as many section activities as his schedule allows. Having been a PGA Jr. League Coach and a host site for the DCP, this has put an emphasis on the local youth to get involved in golf. Swing with Kids helped to bring golf to the local school system and has exposed numerous kids to the game. He is proud to be the host course for a college golf team, 3 high school teams, and most recently a new jr. high golf team. This has helped to make Lake Bracken one of the leaders in junior golf promotion in the area.

Mark Egly, PGA/Owner at Des Moines Golf & Driving Range had these nice comments to say about JR, “When there is this much offered at a facility that provides so many leisure and recreation activities, there comes much greater responsibility than the typical job held by those of us who manage golf facilities alone. I know that there has been substantial growth in membership in recent years. JR is directly responsible for that. Having an increase in revenues from additional rounds of golf is a golf course manager's dream. JR has done just that significantly!”

Millar has previously won Professional Development in 2022 and 2023. He will become our next Iowa PGA Section President on October 21, 2025.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates JR Millar as our 2025 Golf Executive of the Year.

A Message From the Iowa Golf Association

Chad Pitts | Executive Director | IGA

As we look back on the 2025 season, one theme rises above all others: growth. It came in many forms—more golfers playing the game, more entries into our championships, and more opportunities to serve our members. Even in a year where the weather seemed determined to test our patience, the Iowa golf community proved its strength time and time again.

The clearest indicator of that strength was the continued rise in IGA membership. This season, we nearly reached 33,000 active members—an all-time record for the association. That number represents more than a milestone; it speaks to the health and vibrancy of the game across our state. It tells us that more golfers are joining clubs, connecting with their communities, and finding value in the services the IGA provides. The commitment of golfers across Iowa to join, renew, and stay engaged fuels everything we do, from handicapping services to course ratings to conducting championships. We are honored by that trust, and we are energized to continue serving an expanding and increasingly enthusiastic membership base.

That enthusiasm was equally evident in participation at our championships. In fact, 2025 brought record entries at our championships. Most notably, the Iowa Amateur Championship attracted more than 350 entrants—a modern day record. The championship was contested at the storied Des Moines Golf & Country Club on its South Course, offering a worldclass stage that elevated the moment. When the final putt fell, it was Owen Sawyer who emerged as our Iowa Amateur champion, delivering an impressive performance against the strongest and deepest field we’ve ever had for the event. The win once again gave our champion an exemption into the U.S. Amateur, this time to be contested at the famed Olympic Club in San Francisco.

On the national stage, Iowa golf made headlines as well. One of the defining highlights of the year was Mike McCoy’s remarkable victory at the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship. Mike’s accomplishment places him in rare company: he is now the first man ever to win both the U.S. Senior Amateur and the U.S. Mid-Amateur—which he captured back in 2013. Achieving one of those titles is an extraordinary feat; achieving both, more than a decade apart, is nothing short of historic. Mike’s dedication to the game and his enduring competitive fire continue to make all of us in Iowa proud.

Of course, reaching new heights in participation and hosting high-level championships also came with its challenges— chief among them, the weather. Iowa’s climate kept us on our toes all season long. It felt as though nearly every multiday event encountered some combination of rain delays, lightning suspensions, or storms that swept in at exactly the wrong time. It quickly became a running joke among our staff that radar maps and weather apps were practically honorary members of the operations team. In fact, we were grateful to have invested in new lightning detection and prediction software this summer - it certainly came in handy!

While these disruptions tested our patience and required constant adjustments, what stood out most was the unwavering cooperation and understanding from players, volunteers, and host facilities. Their collective resilience helped us navigate a season full of necessary pauses, restarts, and long days, ensuring our championships maintained the standards our golfers expect.

Weather aside, the success of this season was rooted, as always, in the people who make up the IGA team. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to work with a staff that brings such professionalism, flexibility, and genuine passion to their roles. This year, we were delighted to welcome Paige Hoffman as our new Director of Development. Paige has quickly become an integral part of our team, bringing fresh ideas, a strategic mindset, and the relationship-building skills that will help strengthen and expand the IGA’s impact in the years ahead. Of course, the continued expertise of our veteran staff - Katelynn, Clint, Nate, and Karli - is substantial. Our staff is my favorite part of working at the IGA, bar none.

Our PJ Boatwright interns once again played a vital role in nearly everything we accomplished. These young professionals embrace long hours, unpredictable weather, and the fast pace of the summer with enthusiasm and poise. Their contributions are essential to running quality events and providing great experiences for our golfers. This year's group

carried on that tradition of excellence, and watching them develop over the course of the season remains one of the most rewarding parts of our work.

I would be remiss if I did not mention our volunteers, whether it be at championships, course rating, or the board and committee levels. Their dedication to the IGA is astounding. Collectively, we are talking about thousands of hours of given to our great organization, with no monetary return. We are tremendously grateful.

In a year marked by growth, record-setting participation, and historic achievements, it’s the people—our members, volunteers, staff, interns, and the broader Iowa golf community—who made 2025 truly special.

As we look ahead to 2026, I’m filled with gratitude for everyone who contributes to the IGA’s mission and helps sustain the momentum we’ve built together. Whether you competed in a championship, supported one of our programs, volunteered your time, or simply enjoyed the game at your local club, you are part of what makes Iowa golf exceptional.

Thank you for being with us this past year—and here’s to another great season of golf in Iowa.

Iowa GCSA 2025 a Year in Review

As another year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to look back and celebrate what we’ve accomplished together. The Iowa Golf Course Superintendents Association had an outstanding 2025, marked by successful events, record participation, and continued dedication to advancing the profession. From education and fundraising to camaraderie on the course, our members once again exemplified what makes this association strong.

National Golf Day

In May, Brian Abels of Ames Golf & Country Club and Matt Beatty, IGCSA Chapter Executive had the opportunity to represent Iowa GCSA at National Golf Day in Washington, D.C. It was a valuable experience to connect with policymakers and highlight the many ways golf supports our state’s economy, environment, and communities.

Wee One Benefit Tournament

The 3rd Annual Iowa Wee One Benefit Tournament was held at Crow Valley Country Club in Davenport. Superintendent Tim Gravert continued his leadership in hosting the event, bringing in a full event of 144 golfers. This event continues to grow each year. Participants and sponsors raised over $24,000 for the Wee One Foundation, helping golf course management professionals facing medical hardships. A big “thank you” to Tim and his crew, as the course looked great. Well done to everyone involved!

Fall State Meeting

The annual Iowa GCSA Fall State Meeting was hosted at Geneva Country Club in Muscatine. We had a beautiful September day for the event, and Chad Shafer and his staff were fantastic hosts. An Iowa GCSA board business meeting was held for members prior to a great day of golf. There were even two holes-in-one! Superintendents finished the day with awards and a tasty BBQ meal, featuring pork loin smoked by Syngenta’s John Spaulding.

Winter Seminar at Blue Grass Enterprises

The Iowa GCSA closed out the year with the annual winter seminar, this year hosted at the Blue Grass Enterprises sod farm outside of Alburnett. Several education sessions were offered along with a catered lunch and an Iowa GCSA meeting with updates for the membership. A big thanks to Sarah Nolte and the crew at Blue Grass for organizing and sponsoring this event!

Matt Beatty | Executive Director

Supporting the Iowa Turfgrass Institute

Iowa GCSA members once again stepped up to support the broader turfgrass community through hosting the following ITI events:

• ISU Extension Fundraiser at Oneota Golf & Country Club in Decorah, hosted by Lee Anderson, raised over $9,000 to support travel and outreach by Dr. Adam Thoms, professor of Turfgrass Management, in his efforts to diagnose turfgrass issues in the field throughout the state.

• The Field Day Classic at Grinnell College Golf Course, hosted by Jason Koester, CGCS, offered another fun experience at the 9-hole course while supporting ITI initiatives.

• The ITI Benefit Tournament at Glen Oaks Country Club, hosted by Chris Coen, capped off the season in style, with pristine playing conditions and a full 144-person event.

Looking Ahead

2025 was a year of growth, collaboration, and continued excellence for Iowa’s golf course superintendents. As we move into 2026, we look forward to:

• Expanding member engagement and professional development opportunities.

• Supporting research and education through ITI partnerships.

• Continuing to build awareness of the important role superintendents play in Iowa’s golf industry. Thank you to all our members, sponsors, and partners who made 2025 a success. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Our retail philosophy is to create an elevated guest experience motivated by a vast souvenir option. The core customer drives 2-6 hours to play either once in a lifetime or once annually and are looking for a memorable keepsake. We also host multiple collegiate events including two intercollegiate and one national championship where athletes and families are looking for meaningful gifts to remember their visit. Our ordering strategies are heavily dictated by the timing of these competitions to help create a fan shop-like experience.

Iowa PGA Awards || Teacher of the Year

Teacher of the Year Seth Svejda, PGA

Ken Schall Golf Performance Studio

Seth Svejda of Ken Schall Golf Performance Studios has been named the 2025 Teacher of the Year by the Iowa PGA. This honor is based on a professional’s entire record of achievements over their career. The award is determined based on the nominee’s overall impact in teaching at the 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.

When asked on what this means to win this award Svejda responded with, “As a teacher, we don’t show up every day to win awards. We teach because we want to give back to a game that has given us so much. Personally, golf has taken me to college, provided me with my dream career serving others, surrounded me with hardworking, kind, and genuine friends and colleagues, led me to my wife, and offered me an escape when life gets hectic. While I know I can never fully repay what the game has given me, I am determined to try.

Receiving an award like this is simply recognition of the progress I’m making toward my goal of giving back. It’s a true honor to have my name alongside fellow nominees who have made a far greater impact on the game, such as Ken Schall, Mark Egly, and Sarah Bidney. I feel beyond blessed to carry on and grow the Ken Schall Golf brand and legacy, and I think this is a great start."

Lastly, this fall they will be renovating the studio to move from 3 bays to 5 bays. This addition will allow them to add to their staff, take on almost double the number of members, and do some winter camps this year that just seemed impossible with how the space was previously arranged. It would be much easier to just keep things the same and stick with the status quo for the next couple years, but these changes are going to allow them to have a much bigger impact on the Des Moines Golf Community.

One of the reasons Seth chose to accept the job at Ken’s was to learn from him. Last year, they started doing monthly teaching meetings where they will discuss certain topics going on in the world of instruction, talk about different drills, swing theories, how to handle different situations with students and parents, and recently, they have been going through Cameron McCormick’s teacher education program that they offer through Altus to give us other things to talk about and learn. They started doing this monthly, it has now almost just become an “off-season” thing when we slow down enough to breathe, but none-the-less, this has been great not just for Sam and Seth, but he hopes for Ken as well. They get to bring new ideas and things that he hasn’t seen or heard yet that are going on in the golf instruction world.

This is Svejda’s first Iowa PGA Section Award.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Seth Svejda as our 2025 Teacher of the Year.

Iowa PGA Awards || Deacon Palmer Deacon Palmer Chad Callan, PGA Sun Day Red

Chad Callan, PGA of Sun Day Red has been named the 2025 Iowa PGA Deacon Palmer Award winner by the Iowa PGA Award’s Committee. The "Deacon Palmer Award" bestows special recognition on a PGA Golf Professional who personally displays outstanding integrity, character and leadership, in the effort to overcome a major obstacle in their life. This individual is an unsung hero/heroine at their facility and in their community, who serves to inspire, empower and assist others, both inside and outside of the game.

When asked on what this means to win, Callan responded with, “I would like to thank the nomination committee for all their hard work reviewing the candidates and selecting winners of each award. Special thanks to my doctor, Jon Piper,MD. My final thanks would be extended to my fantastic wife, Jenni. Dealing with me for months, trying to keep me positive while also maintaining the kids hectic schedules. I really appreciate her.”

In early June of 2024 Callan had surgery on his L5-S1 followed by a second surgery mid-August on his C5-C6. He was hardly able to walk, let alone get around to work or doing his favorite activities with his kids.

Golf, the highlight of his day was taken away from him which played a negative role in his mental health. It was what he was excited to wake up and do. It was his stress reliever, his activity he did with members, friends and fellow Pros. Once healed and able to swing the club and get back out there, he realized he can overcome anything because he has a great support system.

In early of 2025 I was finally feeling pre-injury. So I’m back to my passion and over joyed to be accepting this award.

Joel Logan, Sales Representative of TaylorMade Golf has these nice comments to say, “As we all know in the section, Chad had 2 back surgeries earlier this season. I thought his golfing season was over before it started. With his dedication and love for the game, Chad did what it took to make it back to playing. Not only is he back playing but he does so at a high level. He was in contention and in the final group for the section championship last month.”

Callan was previously awarded the Private Merchandiser of the Year in 2015 and 2019.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Chad Callan as our 2025 Iowa PGA Deacon Palmer Award.

Mike Downing, PGA Iowa PGA Section

Mike Downing of Iowa PGA Section has been named the 2025 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 Downing responded with, “Whenever you are recognized by your peers and chosen as the recipient of an award, it is very humbling and gratifying. I have been extremely fortunate to be surrounded by an amazing staff and support system that has allowed me to excel in this position. It is truly a honor to be this year's Bill Strausbaugh award recipient.”

During his past five years with the Iowa PGA Section, he has overseen the Iowa Assistants Association, with a focus on professional development and mentoring to ensure that our future professionals are well-equipped and well-versed to become our next leaders. Downing has overseen close to 20 associates who have become Class A members and advanced in their career paths.

As PGA of America Golf Professionals, we are, by definition, professionals, and must act accordingly. Downing tries to lead by example and treat everyone the same as he would like to be treated. The biggest compliment he has received from his PGA peers is that they trust him. To Downing, that is as rewarding as it gets. A mentor of his growing up once told him. “You are only giving one thing in life, your name; it’s up to you to do what you want with it and how you will be thought of.” He has never forgotten it and try to live up to it every day.

Having met with over 100 facilities in the Iowa PGA Section, he also works closely with our Career Consultant, Kevin Drew, PGA. We have become a one-two punch for our members in all things related to employment, compensation, PDRs, and Deferred Compensation.

During meetings with facilities, members, and associates, having built trust, we can have honest conversations and can build obtainable game plans for better opportunities. Whether it is that at the current facility, developing a better skill set is needed, or focusing on where he or she would like to be in 2-5 years. That's the fun part: working one-on-one to help them achieve their goals.

Like many before him, he’s just trying to make things better. He hopes that he has made a positive impact on the lives of our professionals, both professionally and personally. Again, he tries to lead by example and be Mike Downing. Nothing special, just consistent, honest, trustworthy, and treating others with the respect they deserve.

Butch Haverland, PGA Teaching Professional, Palmer Hills Golf Course, “Mike demonstrates what professionalism is. He has patience, is a great listener, and takes control of situations and makes things work properly. Let me also emphasize that Mike bails me out with help when it comes to dealing with the PGA Junior League, PGA Coach and Deferred compensation. He answers all my poor questions!”

This is Downing’ third Iowa PGA Section Award. He was awarded Bill Strausbaugh in 2022 and Professional Development in 2024.

Iowa PGA Awards || Professional Development Patriot Award Terry Anderson, PGA PGA Life Member

Terry Anderson, PGA Life Member has been named the 2025 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 asked on what this means to win, Anderson responded with, “I am humbled beyond belief. I do what I do with the veterans to try to pay them back for the sacrifices they made to provide me with the freedom that allows me to have had the successful career that I have had in the golf business.”

The GIVE program began in August of 2007. Lou King, the founder of the program, told him that he must be there for the opening day. After 18 years he is still showing up to teach the GIVE program participants and support the lead instructors Jim Dickerson, PGA, and current lead Mike Armes, PGA. Anderson became the Head PGA Golf Professional at the Elks Club in 2013. . Every year since, he had the Elks Club host the National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic. It is a weeklong event where disabled veterans from all over the country come to the Iowa City area to have socialization through the game of golf. He does all

the instructions at the Elks Club during the week with support of the staff assigned by the Veterans Administration to the group playing the Elks Club for the week. He also provides support and instruction while the veterans are out on the golf course playing by roaming from group to group. Having no military background or experience, this is the least he can do to thank those that have sacrificed themselves to give him the freedom to do and enjoy the career that he has had in the golf business.

For 18 years, he has been teaching injured veterans in the GIVE program. This is almost a year-round commitment. Anderson is present for the refresher courses on Saturday mornings during January, February and March. The actual new classes rotate every five weeks from April through October. For the past 12 years, I have hosted and been the lead instructor for the National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic group assigned to the Elks Club in Iowa City.

Consistently being present at GIVE classes makes it easy to establish relationships with the veterans and their golf partner. Seeing smiles on the faces of these individuals when they hit that golf shot that is effortless brings joy to his heart. The teamwork that Jim Dickerson, Mike Armes and himself have developed over the years has brought joy and a new sense of purpose to the veterans that we get to work with. He couldn’t begin to count all the kind words of thanks I have received from those I have helped in GIVE and the National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic.

Anderson has previously been awarded Golf Professional of the Year in 2004 and Bill Strausbaugh Award in 2023.

The Iowa PGA Congratulates Terry Anderson as our 2025 Patriot Award Winner.

THE MORRIS FAMLY STORY

Scholarship winners are selected based on their experience and activity in golf, their desire to play college golf, leadership skills, high school activities and interest and financial need. ssist nterested ssist amily cholarship xperience ollege ctivities

The Morris Family Golf Scholarship is supported and funded by the Morris family, friends, and business partners. The Morris Family has and still are an integral part of the Cedar Rapids and Marion surrounding communities since the early 1950’s. The introduction and passion for golf began with Waldo Morris who loved and played the game for well over 50 years. Waldo, and two friends, purchased and operated St. Andrews 9-hole Golf Course in Cedar Rapids in the 1970’s. A short time after, they expanded their vision when purchasing and developing an additional 9-holes offering an 18-hole facility. St Andrews soon became a popular and all are welcome golf and clubhouse destination The course became the home to new golfers, family and company outings, and avid golfers enjoying the game of golf and comradery. Waldo, his grandson Jared Morris, and two-family friends still hold the 18-hole course record. Even though Waldo had played golf courses around the world including the original St Andrews in Scottland, known as the “Home of Golf,” he always thought of and wanted his St Andrews to be a home for anyone who loved the game.

Many years later, Waldo’s grandson Jared Morris at age 12 got his first job at St Andrews and the rest is history. After mowing the greens and any and all other tasks Mike Hall, PGA Golf Professional asked of Jared, he would find himself with a club in his hands. When Jared was not in school or playing other sports, he could be found on a golf course. Life lessons learned along the way and the friendships made on the course are still strong today. The love of the game bridged three generations with Waldo’s son Jon, also known as Jared’s dad, starting to play together. They played in fundraising events, best man tournaments, and loved to revisit every golf hole played, the good, the bad, and the ugly golf shots of the day. Jared’s uncle, cousins, and many more family members and friends now enjoy golf.

The fourth generation of Morris golf and one of Jon and Jared’s favorite golfing partners is Hayley Morris. She is enjoying success in high school golf and the Iowa PGA Junior Tour. Through following their daughter each summer on the Iowa PGA Pee Wee Tour, then the Iowa PGA Junior Tour, Jared and Heather Morris learned about the Iowa PGA Foundation and the programs they support for youth and junior golf. They became increasingly thankful and appreciative of opportunities available and wanted to find a way to contribute.

This four-generation passion for golf, the desire to continue to give back, and the appreciation for the opportunities available through the Iowa PGA Section & Foundation have led to the creation of the Morris Family Scholarship.

PGA Golf Management Program at Nebraska

Competitive golf remains an important part of the PGA Golf Management Program at the University of Nebraska. Our students are working toward becoming PGA Professionals not only by learning the business, teaching and coaching, and supporting the growth of the industry, but also by continuing to develop and maintain their own playing ability.

This year, our students played in fifteen tournaments at ten different golf courses across Nebraska. Each event offered something a little different, from new course conditions to unique formats, giving students meaningful chances to sharpen their skills and connect with fellow competitors. These experiences build camaraderie, confidence, and professionalism, all qualities that carry directly into their future careers.

Throughout the season, students have the chance to earn prize money that they often put toward new equipment, and they collect points that qualify them for travel events around the country. One of the highlights of the year came when our top fourteen players, based on season points, faced the University of Central Oklahoma in the annual CONE Cup. The two-day event, held at Highlands Golf Course and Hillcrest Country Club, ended with the UNL PGM Program retaining the trophy for the fourth year in a row.

Thank you Iowa for trusting the University of Nebraska with your future PGA Professionals. It has been an amazing semester and we look forward to serving them again this Spring and seeing you on course across Iowa this summer!

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!

Scholarship Opportunities 2026

Charlie Burkart Scholarship

The Iowa PGA Foundation annually awards a college scholarship in memory of Charlie Burkart, PGA member for 49 years and head professional at Elmcrest Country Club in Cedar Rapids for 42 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.
