Letter from the President Matthew Schulze, PGA

Welcome to Summer Time!

As I come up for air after a wet but successful LPGA Kingsmill Championship, I am excited by all that is going on in the PGA and most importantly the Middle Atlantic PGA. I would like to first congratulate Dirk Schultz, Jim Estes, and Rick Schuller in representing the MAPGA at this year’s Senior PGA Championship presented by Kitchen Aid. Congratulations to Rick Schuller for his opening 3-under par 68 and making the cut. It is always exciting to see our Professionals perform so well on the national level.

As our industry becomes more technologically advanced, I am excited to announce that in late June/early July our website MAPGA.com will be getting a complete transformation. This new mobile friendly website will help us better showcase our PGA Members and better represent our brand as the leaders in the game of golf.

Along similar lines, the MAPGA Directory is now on the MAPGA App and is very easy to use. It lists all Members and Apprentices in our section, all facilities, and all MAPGA Partners. For more information about how to download our App and use the directory, see page 7.

Lastly, I want to remind all of you of the MAPGA Junior Tour and the MAPGA Mini-Mulligans Tour, both set for this summer. These two tours are perfect for juniors ages 6-18 of any skill level. We feel these tours are a great way for PGA Junior League players to take the next step to play in individual events after their matches and seasons are complete.

In this month’s edition of the MAPGA Professional presented by Celtic Golf, we hope you enjoy our highlight of the Club Car Pro-President, a Player Profile on Yong Joo, and recognizing our 13 PGA Professionals that will play in the PGA Professional Championship later this month. As always, I encourage all of our MAPGA Professionals to go out and play with your members/patrons and register to play in an MAPGA tournament.

Best wishes on your busy season, and I hope to see you on the course soon!

Winning the Big South Conference in College.

What do you love about golf?

That you can play it for a long, long time and that is a good thing and a bad one too!

What do you dislike about golf?

The inherent nature of the game and how difficult it is.

Yong Joo, PGA Born in Korea Lived Most of Life in No.Va. Attended Liberty University Wife, Nicole and two sons Ian (4), Own (2)

Biggest Pet Peeve as a Professional?

As an instructor I would like to teach the game and not be a shrink.

Do you have any superstitions before tournaments?

Not really other than my routine but that could be seen as superstitious.

How has golf impacted your life?

It has been and more than likely will be my career and I hope to enjoy it for a lifetime.

The MAPGA is proud to continue its popular Mini-Mulligans Tour this summer!

The Mini-Mulligans Tour is a great introduction to tournament golf for beginning juniors ages 6-9. The three and six hole divisions offer the perfect opportunity for your child to learn the game of golf, meet friends and have fun.

The MAPGA will be having a kickoff event at TopGolf Loudoun June 29 at 12 p.m. This is a chance to meet MAPGA Mini-Mulligans staff and hit the driving range with your future junior golfer.

There is no membership fee. Each tournament would cost $25 dollars for the six-hole division and $15 for the three-hole division. Entry fee covers golf and lunch following the event.

All Events Are Now Open For Registration!
