Bay Area Chapter End of the Year Report 2023 was a slower year for Bay Area Chapter. A couple of events were held early in the year but with schedule conflicts and busy courses the year was not as we had hoped. The new board met this past week to address how we can get more events together while falling in line with the Section guidelines. The consensus was to reach out to the Senior and Assistant Division in hopes that we could piggyback on a couple of their events. With a majority of the Section events falling in the Bay Area Chapter, we felt that we need to get creative to get more events.

The new board will be led by John Vest (Castlewood CC) President, Brian Brake (Blackhawk CC) VP, and Adrian Cardoza (TPC Stonebrae) Secretary. The next meeting for the BAC will be held in early January 2024.

Respectfully Submitted, Mark Naylor, PGA Bay Area Chapter President

North Coast Chapter End of the Year Report All efforts for a big finish of the 2023 North Coast Chapter were washed out when the Fall Redwood Empire Pro Am was postponed then cancelled. On both occasions, the following day was to be the North Coast Chapter Annual Meeting. We will have a meeting prior to the Dec. 9th Chapter Skins Game to keep everything in line for 2024.

The virtual Semi-Annual Meeting in February turned out to be the main event of the year up to this point. It was a very nice meeting with great attendance and guest speakers Caitlyn, Junko Harkins and CEO Len Dumas. We are still trying to get some momentum going with our Pro-Am Tournaments with moderate success with Redwood Empire and Baywood. We are looking forward to making 2024 a successful one with our current officers of myself, President Ted Mattila (Buckingham GCC), Vice-President Don Harling (Beau Pre GC), Secretary Greg Bean (PGA), Education Chairman Brent Stone (Beau Pre GC) and Tournament Chairman Mark Wotherspoon (Buckingham GCC).

Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to All!

Sincerely, Ted Mattila, PGA North Coast Chapter President Buckingham GCC

Sierra Nevada Chapter End of the Year Report Happy Holidays from the Sierra Nevada Chapter! The chapter just finished up a successful 2023 season.

Recently, we wrapped up our last two events of the season. Those were our season long Individual and Team Match Play events. Both of those events had sold out brackets with 16 individuals or teams playing in each, respectively. Congratulations to Owen Miller, who won the Individual bracket by beating Dana Desarle in the finals.

Congratulations again to Owen Miller and his partner John Hermans, for winning the team bracket, edging out Stuart Smith and Mike Mazzaferri in a finals match at Wolf Run. Our annual Brooks Park Cup was also completed at Edgewood in October, where the NNGA Amateurs were able to take home the cup this year against the SNC Pro team.

We had a SNC Assistant/Associate Townhall mentoring event Montreux on October 23rd, with PGA Career Consultant Caitlyn Doyle leading the event. It was a great day of mentoring several PGA Affiliates/Associates. The event helped light a spark for those already in the program while educating a few eager individuals thinking about entering the PGA program.

Planning is underway for the 2024 program, including an extensive chapter tournament schedule.

Respectfully Submitted,

John Hermans, PGA Sierra Nevada Chapter President

Message from the President

December 4, 2023

Hello fellow Members, Associates, and Invited Guests, The game of golf continues to thrive, certainly here in California and nationally. Our local programs such as PGA HOPE, PGA Junior League and Drive Chip and Putt continue to expand throughout our Section, thanks to the incredible hard work and diligence of all of you, our NCPGA Members, Associates, and Partners. As another year has passed, I would like to take the opportunity to reflect on some of the highlights of 2023.

HIGHLIGHTS In January, the NCPGA Board of Directors met to develop and build goals for the year along with welcoming our new Directors. This is always an exciting meeting for the Board of Directors as we are inviting new NCPGA Section members to the team who bring a host of fresh ideas to make our organization better for you, our Members and Associates In March, Secretary Devin Maheen accepted a new position in Florida leaving a void in the Executive Team. A subsequent election was held to elect a new Secretary. There were five outstanding candidates in the runoff and the Board faced a difficult decision. Ultimately TJ Duncan from the Sierra Nevada Chapter was elected as the new Secretary. To stabilize the leadership, the Board also elected to extend the terms an additional year for both Eric Lippert (President) and Nick Bailey (Vice President).

April brought about the roll out of Deferred Compensation Plan, which has now become a reality. Since the program launched on April 1, the program establishes individual retirement accounts for Members in Good Standing, funded annually by the PGA of America. Contributions are based upon credits earned due to participation in established programs. Not only does the Deferred Compensation Plan serve our existing Membership, but it also serves as a recruiting tool for the next generations. Be sure to register for this valuable program.

PGA Frisco is now officially open! The recent Kitchen-Aid Senior PGA Championship was competed on the Fields East Course as the inaugural event. Many members of our national staff are in place, Associates are working their way to PGA Membership, the Northern Texas Section has its new home up and running, and through the design of activities, and public spaces highlighted by two championship golf courses, we once again firmly establish ourselves as the experts in the game and business of golf.

Most recently, the 107th PGA of America Annual Meeting was held in Frisco, the first of many to be hosted at PGA Headquarters The meetings always serve as an opportunity for the Officer team to connect with other Sections leadership and share ideas along with best practices. Reminder to all, the PGA Annual Meeting is open for all to attend, you don’t need to be a member of the Board. I would encourage anyone to attend one of these meetings at least once and all are encouraged to visit PGA Frisco.

Logos became a topic of conversation as one of the biggest talking points from the Delegation at the recent Annual Meeting in Frisco. While there are strong arguments from both sides as to why or why not

411 Davis Street, Suite 103 • Vacaville, CA 95688 • 707.449.4742 www.ncpgalinks.com

to make the change, the decision to move forward has been made. A plan to transition the new logo into the Sections is in place whereby Sections will be given resources to help afford replacements within the next 2-3 years.

EDUCATION With PGA Frisco now online, Associates are headed to the new facilities for their level two seminars. The good news is that enrollment in the PGA program has been steadily increasing. There are over 5,000 Associates enrolled in PGA PGM 3.1. At the National level, topics for discussion have included the following: 1. Should PGM students be required to attend level 1 seminars in person?

2. Is there a pathway to membership using work experience vs the completion of PGA PGM education?

3. Should we use the specialization program to allow LPGA and international PGA’s as a substitute for PGA PGM education program?

As a Section, we are still focusing on creating mentoring opportunities for our new Associates. The board believes that this is one of our biggest opportunities to improve the Section.

NEW HIRES / EMPLOYMENT The executive team at PGA National headquarters welcomed two new employees. Craig Kessler, former COO of TopGolf joined the team in March as the new COO. He earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and completed his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University. Having spent some time with Craig in Frisco, he is very excited to make an immediate impact. His passion for golf and golf professionals is infectious and I am excited to see what he will accomplish in the coming years. Midway through the year, the National Board took a hard look at the financials which resulted in a realignment of resources and the decision to lay off over 22 employees. From this, a new CFO, John Connelly was hired. This is a huge pick-up for the association as John comes to the PGA via AT&T. On the regional side, Mike Ray, PGA was brought in as the Regional Director for our District. The regional model is expected to serve the Sections well by acting as the go between for National. Additionally, the advent of executive search has been extremely successful. Where private job search firms such as KKW and GBN used to dominate the landscape, the PGA Career Consultants, with help from the regional model, have been able to get in and make a huge difference in how PGA members are hired.

The Section staff and the Board of Directors have been extremely busy this year. While the work is ongoing, we continue to look for ways to serve our members.

SECTION HIGHLIGHTS: 1. In July, Assistant Executive Director Michael Merritt, PGA, was hired. Since arriving, Michael has been working diligently on mentoring programs for our Associates as well as learning the full operations of Section activities.

2. Development of a strategic plan to ensure the board stays focused on the future.

3. Reducing the size of our Board of Directors Upon completion of a National survey, it was brought to light that our Board was by far the largest of the 41 Sections. We also felt that we were bifurcating our local chapter leadership by requiring them to participate in all Section meetings in addition to their chapter duties. By allowing them to focus on their chapter and restructuring our board’s duties, we are certain that membership is still well represented, and communication will be improved.

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2024 As move into the new year, a few items will be at the forefront: 1. New logo and Section name change. With the development of a new logo, it has provided us with the opportunity to change the Section name. Northwestern Nevada has been an integral part of the Section so the potential to integrate their name will be a topic for discussion in the board room.

2. A new National Secretary election will be held at next year’s Annual meeting. The executive team will be interviewing candidates throughout the year as part of the delegate committee that will elect our associations future president.

3. Continued focus on our committee activity and development.

It continues to be my privilege to work alongside so many great PGA Professionals that are willing to donate their time for the betterment and service of their fellow PGA Professionals.

Thank you all for what you do to grow the game and deliver on your promise to make the game we represent so wonderful!

Yours in service, Eric Lippert, PGA

Section Logo Update As we near the December 15th deadline for providing your logo preferences regarding the inclusion of “Section” in the updated logos, I wanted to take a minute to answer questions that have come up in conversations over the past few weeks.

The first question is what the two options look like when incorporated into various Chapter, Championship, Foundation, etc. logos. To help with that we included the attached PDF which shows these examples from the most commonly requested use cases.

A second question relates to Sections that are considering a name change and what the necessary steps would be. To that end, if you are potentially interested in changing your Section name we request that you provide the following information by the December 15 deadline: • Proposed name change suggestion • A full list of steps that will need to be taken against your Section

Bylaws/governance documents to obtain internal approval of the change, and an approximate timeline for how long it would take to achieve these steps (please note that we are NOT asking for your full by-laws process to be completed prior to submitting your suggested name change for review by the PGA of America) Once the above information is collected, a plan for PGA of America Board consideration and approval or rejection will be developed. Generally, our plan is to bring all Section name changes to the PGA of America Board during a single session at a date to be determined based on the number of submissions received and the timelines of those Sections' respective Bylaw processes.

In addition to the internal Section approval process, a Section name change will also require, amongst other things: • PGA of America Board approval • Filing of articles of amendment with the state in which the applicable Section is

incorporated • Updating foreign entity filings in states, other than the state of incorporation, where the Section transacts business Note - Similar filing requirements will exist for any related Section entities that are impacted by the name change.

Please note that no funds from the $25,000 stipend for logo changes will be released to Sections who are changing their names until the full renaming process has been finalized and the Section can execute against the new branding.

If you are interested in proceeding with this process please submit the requested information to myself and Fahad Zahid by the close of business on December 15.

We hope that this email helps to answer some of the questions that have been brought up during this process. If you have additional questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We appreciate your efforts in support of this new logo roll out.

2023 Northern California Section PGA Finance Report

Incredible to realize that another year has passed.

Each year we create and review our operational plan with goal of maximizing our assets and resources allocated to provide not only a stable economic environment, but also maximize our programs and services, both in serving and expanding coverage to the extent possible.

Our funding consists of three major components, the PGA of America, Member and Associate Dues, and our Section Partners. Through our Section activities, we have been able to take advantage of additional funding opportunities and are truly grateful for the support of our Section Partners and Allied Associations. Tournament participation, especially in our Section Championships, increases future allocation from the PGA Tour, which is then used for purse payouts. Offering scale, in 2023 our Partner support was in excess of $150,000 and purse payouts in excess of $198,000. We look to continue to build upon our growth in future years. We also manage programs such as PGA Junior League, which continues to grow year over year, a great example of an activity that generates income for our involved PGA Professionals.

This time of the year we create our plans, strategic, capital and operational for the following year.

Management prepares the plans, and brings them forward to the Board of Directors for explanation, discussion, revision, and ultimately approval. During the course of a season, we follow accounting process and procedures as to approvals and allocations. For example, the Executive Director will review, approve at the staff level, and our Officer team reviews the Executive Directors expenses. Our National Financial team, now under new leadership in Frisco, TX, control and handle much of our accounting practices, assuring separation of duties and additional adherence to proper process. We’re excited about the new leadership team and look forward to improved, timely reports from National as we head into 2024 and beyond.

Our goal is to maximize services provided while our Dues, entry fees, education costs, etc., are managed to remain at the most reasonable level possible. To that end, your continued participation is encouraged and acknowledged with our thanks.

Best wishes for the Holiday Season, Nick Bailey, PGA Vice President NCPGA Board of Directors

Financial Statements for the period ending September 30, 2023

Attached you will find detailed financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2023 September 30, 2023, Statement of Activities (page 1) Statement of Financial Position (page 2) Section financials continue to be strong with healthy reserves while we coordinate with National with new leadership at the financial helm. Results for the period September 30, 2023, reflect a Section operating NOL (Net Operating Loss) $66,970, which although shows as a significant NOL, are more a non-repetitive timing issue than anything else. $40,000 of the NOL includes expenses from prior periods, inclusive of the 2022 Summer Meeting, 401(k) Plan True-up, and Insurance. The September financials also reflect a double posting of rent expense ($7,830, which has already been corrected and will be reflected in the proper financials) as well as Depreciation (non-cash activity) in the amount of $ 8,517.

Our Summer Meeting was the primary driver as attendance was well below typical attendance, likely partly because of the date shift. Our team will continue to monitor this moving forward and attempt to hit final head counts and room counts as close as possible, and we believe it was a one-off incident as this weekend’s Annual Meeting and Awards Dinners are both sold out. We are sensitive to any price increases on meetings in particular, and will continue to look for opportunities to offset some of the costs associated, but we continue to confront inflationary pressures that all of us our facing with food costs, rentals, etc.

Looking at our performance over the last two years, we are still forecasting to have a positive impact on cash reserves and are confident that the drivers of our NOL through these summer months have been worked through and will not present persistent challenges to our breakeven budget. Our cash position remains at $457,315, inclusive of $324,413 in cash reserves, and we continue to pick up interest in partner contracts. Our Tier One and Two Funding has been approved and are not reflected in our current balances, along with any further income from the Drive Chip and Putt Season.

2023 Northern California Section PGA Membership Report

The Northern California Section PGA consists of 862 Members and 220 Associates, making us the 9th largest of the 41 Sections of the PGA of America. Nationally, we are pleased to report that Associate registration is at levels not seen in many years. Since January 1, 12 new Members are now part of the NCPGA as well as 93 Associates.

The rollout of the Deferred Compensation has been successful and to date there are 122 NCPGA Members enrolled, 14 of whom have reached the 200 point minimum and will, therefore, have a contribution made to their account at the end of the current fiscal year. We certainly encourage each and every Member to take part in the Plan as a means to create retirement income based upon activities that you are more than likely already leading or participating in at your facility.

428 of our Members have completed the Compensation survey to date, so we are just over the 50% mark of those eligible to complete the survey. This information is singularly key in the work done by our Career Consultants in assisting all in continued increases in compensation, so realize that we help each other when we complete the survey.

The events of 2022 and 2023 have created an incredibly exciting time to be part of the PGA of America, as Members we need to keep ourselves informed of the Path to Membership, so we are able to mentor, guide, and serve as a resource to those comprising our future.

From: Len Dumas, PGA, Executive Director/COO Re:

2023 Northern California Section PGA Executive Director Report

2023 continued the ever-changing landscape that has become the golf industry, affecting all involved at the national and local levels. The Northern California Section PGA, as an organization, continued the integration of ourselves and our Allied Associations in varied aspects of projects and activations. For example, the June 6 announcement of the pending partnership between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund created a storm that we were forced to navigate in explaining our true identity and purpose, and the legislative threats to golf in the State of California rallied the California Alliance of Golf to deter pending changes to golf courses as vast expanses of land which may well serve other purposes. Our commitment to the game has many forms and challenges that are outside the playbook, yet rest assured that we are on alert.

As we reflect on the past year, in terms of our goals, tasks and resource allocation, it jumped out how we have recruited and developed specialized skillsets to best serve our Members, Associates and Partners. Our staff is now 10 in number, allowing us to expand programming and services through an assessment and reset of the tasks at hand. We welcome Michael Merritt, PGA, to his role as Assistant Executive Director, adding talent and perspective to our growing responsibilities and relationships.

Our team challenges each other on a daily basis through the comments made and questions asked pre and post event, such as “how did we do ?” and “what are we able to do to add additional value to not only our Section membership, but also to our Section Partners ?”. The business of golf continues to evolve, and our team keeps us on the front line at all times. Our expanded network consists of our regional colleagues providing support in logistics, Career Services and Player Development.

The Northern California Section PGA and Northern California Section PGA Foundation continue to grow and model, nationally, the mission statements of Serve the Members and Grow the Game as well as Impacting Lives Through Golf. Our rankings are quite high on the National level for PGA Junior League participation, players served through Drive, Chip and Putt, and certainly the expansion (more of an explosion) of our PGA Hope sessions and therefore, the number of Veterans served. Our professional events grow in participation number each season as, through many, our hosts are facilities coveted nationally and throughout the world. Our Partner relations continue to grow, as they are the vital to our success, and thus we are always sure to thank them and request that you do the same at every opportunity.

Our Northern California Section PGA Board of Directors and Committee Members continue to provide support, guidance, and assure we are on the front lines. Their commitment is to all given the investment of time and hours above and beyond their full-time engagements. Thank you to those who take the time to govern.

To each and every Member and Associate in the Northern California Section, thank you for all allowing us to be part of your activities, your input, communication and passion for the greatest game.

To our 2023 Northern California Section PGA Award recipients, congratulations for the incredible achievements and representing the Association and Section to the highest standard.

I am excited to report about the upcoming Player Teacher Forum and new initiatives for 2024.

The upcoming Player Teacher Forum will be at Lake Merced Golf Club on January 8 and 9, 2024. We are excited to have a great lineup for this year as we will be back in person for the first time since 2020. We will have Warren Bottke, Nick Clearwater, Phil Dawson Jr., George Gankas, Roger Maltibe, and Marcus Potter. We hope to see you all there.

We will be starting a monthly webinar starting in the first quarter of 2024 that will cover a range of topics. We hope these will be beneficial to the membership not only professionally but cover topics that could help benefit the membership personally. This will also benefit the membership for education/player engagement PDRs. Also, we will be sending out a member satisfaction survey to the membership no later than the middle of February. We are currently going to be asking questions about tournaments, communication, education, and support. This will ensure we are properly focusing our resources to those areas that our membership feels strongly about.

FOUNDATION REPORT- 2023 Tim Burr, PGA President, Northern California PGA Foundation First, I want to say “Thank You” to each of the PGA Members, Associates, and LPGA Professionals that serve as PGA HOPE Instructors - without you this program would not be possible. I am constantly awestruck by what PGA HOPE has blossomed into. Since the fall of 2015, almost 1,800 veterans have graduated from the program and over 2,200 Veterans have attended at least one clinic. The momentum for PGA HOPE is growing as more people learn the stories of how it has saved and transformed the lives of our Veterans.

I am proud to report that on November 9th PGA HOPE Northern California was awarded “Enterprise of the Year” by the San Mateo County Veterans Commission. The award included distinguished resolutions from County, State, and Congressional dignitaries.

Congratulations to all the 2023 Award Winners, but especially to Joe Vavra for being awarded “Patriot of the Year”. Joe is a great PGA Professional, PGA HOPE Instructor, and a true American patriot for his service in the U.S. Army. Thank you, Joe! It is important to recognize the golf facilities that hosted PGA HOPE programs this year. Our Members and their management teams have made our Section one of the best HOPE programs in the nation: Cypress Lakes Golf Course, Vacaville

● Veteran’s Day National Day of HOPE 30-Day Campaign - $20,000 Goal / $19,483 raised. o I’d like to recognize these PGA Members who went above and beyond to raise funds for PGA HOPE during the Veteran’s Day National Day of HOPE Campaign: ▪ Mike Spiller, PGA HOPE Program Lead at Bayonet Black Horse raised $7,303 ▪ Dennis Urabe, PGA HOPE Program Lead at Cypress Lakes raised $4,005 ▪ Kelly Smith, PGA HOPE Instructor raised $1,700 at Discovery Bay Country Club ● Private Club Fundraisers o Meadow Club, Head Professional Jim O’Neal – PGA HOPE was the beneficiary of the Club’s Labor Day & Veteran’s Day fundraising campaign where members donated over $39,000. o Richmond Country Club, Head Professional Tom Zaradka - PGA HOPE was the beneficiary of the Women’s Club charity tournament that raised $10,664 for an all-women PGA HOPE program. ● Grants from: Wayne & Gladys Valley Foundation, Morton Golf Foundation, Hugh Stuart Foundation, Oakland Firefighters Local 55, Monterey Peninsula Foundation, Lucius Bateman Foundation, and Bob & Connie Lurie Foundation.

Your NCPGA Foundation Board supports the mission through their enthusiasm and professional networks that make great leaps forward in our fundraising and program awareness in the community. I would like to recognize our non-PGA Directors Andy Dolich, Bob Hoffman, Lydia Morasky, Rich Cerussi, Mark Killeen, and Frank LaRosa for their continued time and effort in making 2023 a banner year. I would like to thank our Foundation staff Suzy Schneider, Bob Epperly, William Stockholm, Jacob Fagan, and our newest addition to the team Will Floyd, and of course our PGA Board members, Len Dumas, Dede Moriarty, and Morgan Davies, for all their passion and hard work to make our NCPGA Foundation a success.

I would like to remind all the Membership that the Foundation offers the following scholarships: 1. Chris Thomas PGA Associate Scholarship – $2,500 for Associates at Level 2 or above in their journey to completing their Class A Membership.

2. Jim Langley College Scholarship – $2,000 for 1 boy and 1 girl – awarded to college-bound high school seniors to assist with their financial costs.

Applications for both of these scholarships are accepted from January 1 st to May 31st. Application information can be found on the Foundation website – ncpgafoundation.org I’d be happy to talk to anyone about the Foundation programs, serving on the Foundation Board, or becoming a PGA HOPE Instructor. I am so thankful to be able to give back to our men and women of the military and to be on this journey with you all.
