Bay Area Chapter Report

We have been quiet with a busy summer for pros in our section. We are feeling the sting of not getting events on the calendar due to our restructure early in the year. We do have an event in August coming up at TPC Stonebrae. We have a sponsor secured and will be getting it published on the chapter webpage and section schedule.

North Coast Chapter Report

The North Coast Chapter had a big first official event of the year when PGA Member Greg Senestraro hosted the Redwood Pro Am on May 23rd. It was a successful venture as a good number of fellow PGA professionals and their amateurs are now set to resume back to pre-pandemic routine that includes more travel.

There is nothing set in stone until the Annual Meeting in October to meet again, but there have been suggestions to do so. More discussion is needed to clear everything up on what’s going on up and down the Chapter right now and what the plans are for 2022 and beyond.

The next Chapter events will be the Beau Pre Pro Texas Scramble (6/20) and the Baywood Pro Am (7/18-19).

Sincerely,

Ted Mattila North Coast Chapter President PGA Golf Professional Buckingham GCC

Message for Career Consultant – Caitlyn Doyle

Hard to believe we are almost halfway through the 2022 calendar year! My first five months in this new role as your Career Consultant has been a thrilling and rewarding ride and I wanted to reiterate to you all how honored I am to serve this wonderful Section.

A couple reminders:

1. Please complete your compensation profile on PGA.org if you haven't already done so. This is a very important tool that the Career Services team uses to better support your fellow professionals and employers within the industry with the goal of increasing compensation for all PGA Professionals. This profile is strictly confidential and owned by the PGA Professional.

2. Are you low on MSR's? There is still time to sign up for the Engage, Elevate, and Advance Webinar led by myself and Junko Harkins, PGA on June 9th. This is a great way to learn about PGA resources

that are available to you and earn MSR credits. Sign up using the link below. Can't wait to see you there!

The Section also has a plethora of opportunities available and there are videos you can watch on PGA.org from the 2022 PGA SHOW.

Don't forget! The Section's Semi-Annual Meeting is coming up on Sunday, June 26th and it is a great way to earn MSRS, network with your fellow professionals and have some fun too while at the El Dorado in Downtown Reno! The following day is the 4 Pro Scramble at Somersett so grab a team and I will see you out there!

I look forward to seeing many of you in the coming months and please don't hesitate to reach out should I be of assistance to you. I am happy to help and look forward to continuing to build relationships with you all.

NCPGA San Joaquin Valley Chapter Report June 2022

The San Joaquin Valley Chapter has been relatively quiet over the start of Summer. We had an event scheduled earlier in the month of June, but unfortunately had to cancel. We don’t normally attempt an event around this time of year but decided to give it a shot, and remembered quickly why we don’t host them in June. We had pretty significant heat in the valley during this time frame and our Golf Professionals have a lot on their plate to start the Summer. In the future we will reserve a large portion of our events for the Fall and Winter months with perhaps an event in the Spring. Our participation numbers show that this fits best for our Chapter Membership. Currently we continue to run our “Season Long” Match Play, we are winding down to the final handful of players that will continue to compete for the title of SJVC Match Play Champion.

As a Chapter we have seen our participation numbers fluctuate greatly between higher than normal participants, and then lower than usual for some events to the point of cancelation or postponement. With the Central Valley Golf Professionals being so busy we are finding that now more than ever the timeframe for scheduling is as much or more important than the type of event we host. We are going to continue using the easy technology and communication through the Section to reach our players as well as placing high value on personal relationships and making the competition somewhat secondary. We plan to continue this type of outreach with the hope that we will continue to host a number of events throughout the year and keep our Chapter healthy.

Respectfully submitted, Ryan Lancaster, PGA SJVC President
