i. NCPGA Chapter Reports- pp

Our end of the year event is scheduled for December at Stone Brae. The board is currently working on the 2023 calendar now that we have the section calendar. Our last event was cancelled unfortunately, due to lack of communication. We are working on that.

North Coast Chapter Report

There have only been a couple Pro Am Invitationals since the last report including the popular Baywood GCC Pro Am in July.

The next Chapter event will be the October 11th Annual Meeting. Originally it was to be coordinated in conjunction with the Redwood Empire Pro Am, but that was cancelled due to time conflicts.

Items that will take top priority are working together to re-energize the local pro-am structure and getting more involved at the Section level.

Sincerely,

Ted Mattila North Coast Chapter President PGA Golf Professional Buckingham GCC

NCPGA San Joaquin Valley Chapter Report

October 2022

The San Joaquin Valley Chapter has been relatively quiet over the past couple months. Within our chapter The First Tee of San Joaquin hosted a Pro-Am at Greenhorn Creek Resort that drew significant participation from our Chapter Members as we offered Player of the Year Points. We felt like it was a fun and mutually beneficial way to increase participation both for the event and for our Chapter. Coming up we will be closing out our “Season” with the Ernie George Memorial Chapter Championship at Micke Grove Golf Links on October 10th, followed by our last event of the year at the Chapter “Civil War” at Elkhorn CC on November 21st . As a Chapter we have seen our participation numbers fluctuate greatly between higher-thannormal 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 several events throughout the year and keep our Chapter healthy.

Respectfully submitted, Ryan Lancaster, PGA SJVC President

Sierra Nevada Chapter Report

The Sierra Nevada Chapter is wrapping up a successful 2022 summer season. With mild to cool weather this spring, a warm and smoke free summer season, and an amazing start to fall, all is well in the Sierra Nevada Chapter. Most courses haven’t seen “Covid Numbers” but strong upticks from a more standard year such as 2019. In other positive news, our PGA Team won the annual Brooks Park Cup this past week at Edgewood Tahoe. Congrats gentleman! Our chapter continues to be strong financially and we’re always looking for ways to provide tournament, education and other opportunities to our members. One unique education event last week, Philip Dawson provided a clinic to membership titled “Teaching with Technology”, we met on the range at Gray’s Crossing and in real time discussed every facet of launch monitors and the pros and cons of teaching while using these great tools. Our schedules begin to wind down this month, giving us plenty of time to reflect on the year. We plan to build on our success from 22’ while designing a new tournament and education calendar for 23’.

Onward and upward, The SNC Chapter Board
