<div>=Bellingham G&CC duo wins PNW PGA Pro-Assistant Championship=<br />
The Pacific Northwest PGA Pro-Assistant Championship was held at the scenic Eugene Country Club on March 20-21, 2023, bringing together the best PNW PGA Professionals and their assistants to compete for top honors.<br />
<br />
The players were greeted with wet weather, and a course that was in excellent condition, providing a stern test for the players. The first day saw Tim Hval and David Lebeck of Portland Golf Club lead the pack with an impressive 6-under-par 66, tied with Nick McCaslin and Amy Eneroth, who also shot 6-under-par 66.<br />
<br />
On the second day, the team of Cameron Fife and Daniel Campbell of Bellingham G&CC put on a spectacular performance, shooting a remarkable 65 that included 7 birdies to win the championship with a combined score of 133 (-11). Despite finishing as runners-up, McCaslin and Eneroth put up a strong fight and finished with a respectable score of 134 (-10).<br />
When asked what made the pairing of Cameron and Daniel so potent Daniel said, “our competitiveness was a major part of our success, we both have similar mindsets when playing tournament golf. Even though our physical games are different, we both play a similar style of golf. It was an enjoyable experience to have success putting those two together”.<br />
<br />
Tim Hval and David Lebeck finished tied for third place with the Everett G&CC team of Matt Epstein and Alexander Mroz and the Willamette Valley CC duo of John Grothe and Blake Netter, all three teams finishing with a total score of 135 (-9).<br />
<br />
“The event has a great history, and to be a part of that as a winning team is special. There are some great teams on that trophy. Additionally, the camaraderie and teamwork it builds is important to both Daniel and I, and it will only benefit us going forward professionally and personally” said Cameron Fife on what this event means to him.<br />
<br />
The tournament was an excellent showcase of golfing talent, with some exceptional performances from the participants. The Pacific Northwest PGA is proud to have strong sponsor support with Farmers Insurance – Jared Bouchey Agency as our title sponsor, and Sally Schmitz with Bushnell Golf, Bryan Dickson with Sterling Cut Glass, and Ian Crick with StrackaLine as our presenting sponsors. We also welcome our returning supporting sponsors, Matt Pollitt with PTE Golf, Darrell Livingston with GT Golf Supplies, as well as new supporting sponsor Liz Ogle with Sunice.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to Cameron Fife and Daniel Campbell from Bellingham Golf & Country Club on their well-deserved victory, and to all the participants for their impressive display of golfing skills. The event was a huge success thanks to the efforts of all involved.<br />

<div>=The Home Course duo wins PNWPGA Pro-Assistant Championship=<br />
PGA Professional Mitch Runge, Head Professional, and Shane Prante, Assistant Professional from The Home Course in DuPont, Washington, clinched a victory in the PNW PGA Pro-Assistant Championship by a mere stroke. Their collective prowess culminated in an impressive 17-under par four-ball score over the two-day tournament, held on March 18-19, 2024. Basking in spring sunshine and enjoying temperatures ranging from the high 50s to the lower 60s, players were treated to optimal conditions for a riveting competition at beautiful Tacoma Country & Golf Club.<br />
<br />
Mitch Runge previously won the championship in 2022. Shane Prante brings his own winning history to the table, having secured victory in the same event back in 2017.<br />
<br />
“Winning the Pro-Assistant Championship is so much fun. It truly is an honor to represent our facility and come out on top of such a talented field,” Runge stated, adding, “I started my career at TCGC and that club, it’s members and my bosses have played a huge role in the man I am and where I have gotten in my career. I don’t think for me personally winning anywhere else is quite as special as winning at my favorite golf course.”<br />
<br />
Prante praised the course as well, stating, “Tacoma C&GC club is so ripe with history and superior conditions that anytime I have a chance to play an event there it is something I thoroughly enjoy doing.”<br />
<br />
The team hailing from Oswego Lake Country Club in Lake Oswego, Oregon, led by Director of Instruction Scott Erdmann and Assistant Professional Brady Sharp, secured second place honors.<br />
<br />
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of our esteemed sponsors. We extend our gratitude to Farmers Insurance – Jared Bouchey Agency, our title sponsor for the third consecutive year. Additionally, we warmly welcome back Sally Schmitz representing Bushnell Golf and Bryan Dickson of Sterling Cut Glass. We are proud to introduce Jake Sowby from Titleist and Jake Gordon, Zac Keener and Dathan Wong from Noteefy as our presenting sponsors. We are equally appreciative of the continued support from Matt Pollitt and Les Veres of PTE Golf, and Patrick Coughlin and Mitch Bourgault of GT Golf Supplies, serving as supporting sponsors.<br />
<br />
The PNW PGA Pro-Assistant Championship is a testament to the camaraderie and skill displayed by golf professionals. This two-man team competition pairs a head golf professional with their assistant golf professional, engaging in a four-ball format that showcases their collective talent and strategic acumen on the course.<br />
<br />
What will the dynamic duo do next? Runge has his sights set on the National Club Pro and making the Hudson Cup team. Prante, who was the 2023 Assistant Player of the Year, echoed these goals, and added that he would like to win another section major and have a chance to win Player of the Year in 2024.<br />

<div>=Prugh and Hatley Win Third Pacific Golf & Turf PNW Pro-Am Championship as Duo=<br />
<br />
PGA Professional Corey Prugh of Community Colleges of Spokane and amateur Reid Hatley of Hayden Lake Country Club triumphed at the Pacific Golf & Turf PNW Pro-Amateur Championship held on October 5-6 at the Pronghorn Club in Bend, Oregon. The duo's exceptional performance in the championship clinched the title with a combined score of 128, finishing at an impressive -16.<br />
<br />
This win was no stranger to the pair, who had previously triumphed twice in this championship, showcasing their remarkable chemistry on the course. In 2013, they claimed the title at Salish Cliffs, and they added another victory in 2021 at Palouse Ridge. Their synergy and ability to conquer the competition have only grown stronger over the years.<br />
<br />
In the first round of the tournament, Prugh and Hatley demonstrated their intent by posting a solid score of 67 on the Nicklaus Course. However, it was in the second round where they truly shone. Corey Prugh exhibited remarkable precision by making an astounding six birdies and no bogeys, while Reid Hatley added one bogey but balanced it with a spectacular eagle, securing their victory with a round of 61 on the Fazio Course.<br />
<br />
The team of PGA Professional Ross Kukula from Arrowhead Golf Club and amateur Kyle Cornett from Oregon Golf Club finished tied for second place, just one stroke behind the leaders. Their consistent rounds of 66-63-129 showcased their competitive spirit and skill on the course.<br />
<br />
Joining them in a tie for second place were the team of PGA Professional Jared Lambert from Astoria Golf & Country Club and amateur Blake Kukula from Surfside Golf Course. Their impressive round of 61 in the second round was a testament to their ability to rise to the occasion after a modestly successful first round of 68.<br />
<br />
The event witnessed a week of spectacular play, including two hole-in-one’s. PGA Professional Garrett Smithson made an ace during round one on Nicklaus Course hole 14, earning a prize from sponsor Hole-In-One USA. PGA Professional Matt Bunn made a hole-in-one during round two on Fazio Course hole 16.<br />
<br />
We are grateful for the unwavering support of this event’s title sponsor, Pacific Golf & Turf. The tournament also received backing from supporting sponsors, Mizuno and Hole-In-One USA.<br />

<hr />
<div>The Pacific Northwest Pro-Am Championship started when a young head professional named John Junor and his amateur partner won back to back titles at the magnificent Seattle Golf Club in 1924 and 1926 (no championship in 1925). Professional Walter Pursey and amateur Harry Givan topped Junor in the late 30’s with a three-peat victory at Seattle GC twice and Alderwood GC once. Don Bies holds the record for most Pro-Am titles. Other greats such as Bunny Mason (1963) and Jerry Mowlds (1969, 1978) have all had their share of the title.<br />
<br />
Tournament record: 122 - Jeff Gove & Derek Slackman (2017) and Corey Prugh & Reid Hatley (2021)<br />

<hr />
<div>The Pacific Northwest Pro-Am Championship started when a young head professional named John Junor and his amateur partner won back to back titles at the magnificent Seattle Golf Club in 1924 and 1926 (no championship in 1925). Professional Walter Pursey and amateur Harry Givan topped Junor in the late 30’s with a three-peat victory at Seattle GC twice and Alderwood GC once. Don Bies holds the record for most Pro-Am titles. Other greats such as Bunny Mason (1963) and Jerry Mowlds (1969, 1978) have all had their share of the title.<br />
<br />
Tournament record: 122 - Jeff Gove & Derek Slackman (2017) and Corey Prugh & Reid Hatley (2021)<br />

<div>=Austin Hurt Victorious at Section Championship=<br />
by Tanner Montgomery, PGA - Director of Tournament Operations<br />
<br />
In a riveting display of skill and determination, Austin Hurt of Wing Point Golf & Country Club clinched a thrilling victory at the 2023 PNW PGA Professional Championship, presented by Club Car, Corebridge Financial, and Rolex. Held from September 19 to 21 at the picturesque and challenging Tumble Creek Club, the championship witnessed a fierce battle amongst the Section’s PGA Professionals.<br />
<br />
With a three-round score of 212, Austin Hurt emerged as the triumphant champion, narrowly edging out Brandon Drake of CDA National Reserve by a single stroke. <br />
<br />
The journey to victory was a rollercoaster ride. Following the opening round, it was PGA Professional Corey Prugh of Community Colleges of Spokane who led the charge. Prugh, a seasoned champion with titles in 2020, 2019, and 2016, displayed his prowess by carding a remarkable four-under-par 68, defying the challenging, gusty winds that swept the course. Hot on his heels, just one stroke behind, were Brandon Drake of CDA National Reserve and Scott Erdmann of Oswego Lake Country Club.<br />
<br />
As the competition intensified, the winds persisted at approximately 30 mph, making the course conditions even more daunting. After the second round, Prugh, Drake, and Erdmann found themselves in a three-way tie, each boasting a two-day total score of two-under-par. Meanwhile, lurking just behind, Austin Hurt sat tied for fourth at a commendable one-under-par.<br />
<br />
The final day of action saw Austin Hurt summon his inner champion. In a thrilling climax to the championship, Hurt’s precision and composure under pressure allowed him to pull ahead of the competition, securing a nail-biting one-stroke victory over the formidable Brandon Drake.<br />
<br />
“Winning my first major felt well deserved but hard earned,” said Hurt of his victory.<br />
<br />
Asked how it feels to represent the Section at the upcoming National event, he stated that it was “a great honor” and wanted to thank all the PGA Professionals in the Section that made it possible. “After all, we represent you!”<br />
<br />
But the excitement didn’t end with the top two finishers. In addition to Austin Hurt and Brandon Drake, Corey Prugh, Scott Erdmann, Derek Berg of PNW Golf Academy, Liam Kendregan of Sand Point Country Club, and Jeff Coston of Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club all earned coveted spots to advance to the prestigious 2024 PGA Professional Championship, presented by Club Car, Corebridge Financial, and Rolex, set for April 28-May 1, 2024 at Fields Ranch, PGA Frisco.In addition to these talented golfers, Colin Inglis of Shadow Hills Country Club, Russell Grove of North Idaho College, and Chip Sullivan already secured spots in the national championship based on their past performances.<br />

The Pacific Northwest Section PGA Professional Championship is only open to PGA Members of the Section. Each year, a certain amount of places qualify for advancement to the National CPC. From 1997-2000 the CPC Qualifiers were separate from the winners of the Section Championship.<br />

== Quotes ==<br />
'''From Martin Pool, who provided the Seattle Times PDF's:'''<br />
<br />
"The July 2, 1944 issue of the Seattle Times regarding the upcoming championship in 1944, includes the statement: 'Al Zimmerman of Portland, who won the sectional title last year, will not be on hand to defend his crown, as he is on service in North Africa.'"<br />
<br />
"Initially this led to me think that Al Zimmerman, who won in 1940, 1941, and 1942 must have won for the fourth consecutive time in 1943, however, I do not think this was the case. After winning the 1942 championship, Al Zimmerman enlisted in the Navy on September 16, 1942. It seems highly unlikely that he would have competed in the 1943 championship if indeed one was held."<br />
<br />
"I think the writer of the July 2, 1944 article was mistaken when he said 'last year,' and should have said 'in 1942,' and Al Zimmerman would still have been the defending champion if the 1943 event had been cancelled."</div>Webadminhttp://www.pnwpga.com/wiki/index.php?title=Past_Presidents&diff=16437Past Presidents2023-09-18T22:43:57Z<p>Webadmin: </p>

<div>The Senior PGA Professional Championship was established in 1952. This very popular event, for those who are 50 years and older, has seen a major jump since the days of old. Some can remember all the way back in 1965 when Harry Umbinetti was the top money winner of the event taking home a whopping $250 dollars. Back then, the championship was held at the Yakima Elks' Golf and Country Club with only 21 professionals battling it out for the mere sum of $920 dollars. The Pacific Northwest Senior PGA Championship has seen many timeless and popular venues. The famous Bob Duden won the championship six times during the 70's and seven times overall. Jeff Coston holds the record for most wins (nine). <br />

<div>=Snyder Ties Record to Win Muckleshoot Casino Washington Open=<br />
==By Grant Tribolet, tournament intern==<br />
<br />
The annual Muckleshoot Casino Washington Open Invitational was held at Meridian Valley Country Club on August 21-23, 2023. The tournament was a great success, with 168 PGA professionals and top amateurs from the Pacific Northwest competing for the title. PGA Professional Blake Snyder of PNW Golf Academy emerged victorious, tying the tournament record for the Washington Open and claiming his first Pacific Northwest PGA victory.<br />
<br />
Play commenced on Monday, August 21st, with players hitting the ground running. Reigning champion PGA Professional Colin Inglis of Shadow Hills Country Club picked up right where he left off and fired a first-round -7 65 to take an early two-shot lead after round one. With a definitive outcome in round one, round two generated a more exciting story. Inglis continued his strong play but would soon be joined atop the leaderboard by PGA Professional Daniel Campbell of Bellingham Country Club and PGA Professional Blake Snyder of PNW Golf Academy with a two-day total of -11. All three players have had a strong season and would make for an exciting round-three finish!<br />
<br />
The winner was ultimately decided on the back nine of the final round. Snyder and Campbell both opened with 33s on the front nine, and they were tied as they reached the back nine. However, Snyder pulled away on the back nine, and he secured the victory with a two-stroke lead on the 18th green.<br />
<br />
"It means so much to me to win my state's open and have my name engraved on the historic trophy with the names of so many people I've looked up to over the years. It's a surreal experience," said Snyder of the victory. He also credited his success to his "process," which involved remaining disciplined in his game plan and sticking to his routine.<br />
<br />
Before the championship, a weekend pro-am was held for Folds of Honor and American Lake Veterans Golf Course. There were 26 sponsored teams that participated in a scramble on day one and a shamble on day two. The champion of this year's Muckleshoot Casino Washington Open Pro-Am was team adidas/TaylorMade led by PGA Professional Ryan Benzel of Sahalee Country Club with amateurs Kim Ponti, Karen Johnson, Jeff Kraft, Joey Zaputil. At the end of the event, $80,000 was raised to provide scholarships to spouses and children of those killed or disabled in service to the United States Military, along with supporting the American Lake Veterans Golf Course.<br />
<br />
Snyder had the opportunity to play with a group of veterans during the Pro-Am. He said that the experience was "humbling" and that it "put things in perspective" for him.<br />
<br />
The Section would like to thank Meridian Valley Country Club, Muckleshoot Casino, and the players for making this event memorable. Special thanks to General Manager Chris Lungo, PGA Head Professional Adam Englehorn, Superintendent Craig Benson, and all the staff for hosting an amazing event. We would also like to thank our master sponsors: Donovan Brothers Commercial Construction, Annasea Foods Group, RE Sides Landscaping, and Garmany Golf. We want to thank our supporting sponsor, Oak Harbor Freight Lines, Inc. Lastly, we would like to thank our presenting sponsors: Hempler's/Isernio's/Fletcher’s, Bacardi, Harbor Food Services, adidas, TaylorMade Golf, Club Car Skins and the PGA Tour.<br />

<div>The Washington Open was established in September 1922 at Yakima Country Club. When the championship was created, it was tied in with the Washington State Amateur so that professionals and amateurs would play with one another. The events remained together until the 1950’s. <br />
The Washington Open has accumulated an impressive list of repeat champions over the years.

<div>The Washington Open was established in September 1922 at Yakima Country Club. When the championship was created, it was tied in with the Washington State Amateur so that professionals and amateurs would play with one another. The events remained together until the 1950’s. <br />
The Washington Open has accumulated an impressive list of repeat champions over the years. [[Hall_of_Fame/Charles Congdon|Chuck Congdon]] won five titles over four decades in 1939, 1947, 1950, 1952 and 1962. Al Mengert has won four times, including three consecutive wins from 1963-65. Long-remembered stand outs Bud Ward and Bob Duden have also had their fair share of the spotlight to name a few. Don Bies won three times, once as a club pro in 1959 and again in 1980 and 1987 after he retired from the PGA tour. [[Hall_of_Fame/Jeff Coston|Jeff Coston]]'s victory in 2021 was his record-setting sixth, moving him out of a tie for most wins with Congdon.<br />
The current tournament record is 200 for the WA Open, set 5/18/2011 at Glendale CC by Tim Feenstra, tied by Jeff Gove on 5/23/2012 at Glendale CC, and tied again by Blake Snyder on 8/23/23 at Meridian Valley CC. The record previously was held by Chuck Milne, 202, set at Meridian Valley CC in 1976.<br />
<br />
<br />
Most tournament wins: [[Hall_of_Fame/Jeff Coston|Jeff Coston]] (6): 1996, 1999, 2001, 2010, 2016, 2021<br />
<br />

<div>The Washington Open was established in September 1922 at Yakima Country Club. When the championship was created, it was tied in with the Washington State Amateur so that professionals and amateurs would play with one another. The events remained together until the 1950’s. <br />
The Washington Open has accumulated an impressive list of repeat champions over the years. [[Hall_of_Fame/Charles Congdon|Chuck Congdon]] won five titles over four decades in 1939, 1947, 1950, 1952 and 1962. Al Mengert has won four times, including three consecutive wins from 1963-65. Long-remembered stand outs Bud Ward and Bob Duden have also had their fair share of the spotlight to name a few. Don Bies won three times, once as a club pro in 1959 and again in 1980 and 1987 after he retired from the PGA tour. [[Hall_of_Fame/Jeff Coston|Jeff Coston]]'s victory in 2021 was his record-setting sixth, moving him out of a tie for most wins with Congdon.<br />
The current tournament record is 200 for the WA Open, set 5/18/2011 at Glendale CC by Tim Feenstra, tied by Jeff Gove on 5/23/2012 at Glendale CC, and tied again by Blake Snyder on 8/23/23 at Meridian Valley CC. The record previously was held by Chuck Milne, 202, set at Meridian Valley CC in 1976.<br />
<br />

<br />
I grew up in a fairly large family, the youngest of six children. No one in my family golfed, but I played every sport you can imagine that involved a ball, including handball. Golf was my passion, but I didn't have the means or a course close enough to start my golf journey. I had to wait until I got a job and a car.<br />
<br />
This isn't a story about me, but about the many families that have made our game better and the legacy they carry on. When I first got into the business as an assistant working at a municipal golf course (Jackson Park in Seattle), I knew some of the legends right away. John Hoetmer and his son Ron. Bob Tindall and his son Bill (in my opinion, the greatest golf pro I've ever met).<br />
<br />
The family element in the golf business is extremely welcoming. I experienced this firsthand when I attended my first National Club Pro Championship in La Quinta, California. I was young and naive, and I didn't know anyone there. But then Steve Bowen came up to me and asked, "Where are you staying?" I told him I didn't know, and he said, "You're staying with me."<br />
<br />
Steve is from a golfing family. His brother John is a PGA member, and his son Blake worked for Steve as a pro for a while. He adopted me into his golfing family that day, and I'm so grateful for his kindness and generosity.<br />
<br />
This is just one example of the many ways that golfing families have welcomed me into their fold. Bill Tindall, who was the head pro at Jackson Golf Course in Seattle when I was an assistant, also took me under his wing. He taught me a wealth of knowledge about the business, teaching, and playing golf. He told me that public golf is vital to the game.<br />
<br />
I've also been fortunate to be adopted by the Hixson family. Harvey Hixson is a former PGA President, and his son Dan is a renowned golf course architect. They have both been incredibly supportive of me, and I'm so grateful for their friendship.<br />
<br />
Jim Von Lossow and his brother John are two other great golfers who have welcomed me into their family. Jim played on the PGA Tour, and John played in two US Amateurs. They have both been generous with their time and advice, and I'm so lucky to have them as friends.<br />
<br />
Bryan and Mark Tunstill are two other golfing families that I'm honored to be a part of. Bryan is a Hall of Fame member in our section, and Mark is one of the most engaging and witty people I know. I'm so grateful for their friendship and support.<br />
<br />
I could go on and on about all the golfing families that have made me feel welcome in this industry. But the biggest thing to remember is that I'm just one small example of their generosity. They are committed to making our game great, and the family element is an innate welcoming skill they have all inherently not only developed but perfected.<br />
<br />
The other families that have adopted me, and whom I have tremendous respect for, include the Runge Family—three generations, Hank (father) Louie, Chris, (sons) and now Mitch; Joe Clarizo and Rob Gibbons; Steve, Corey and Alex Prugh; Jerry and JD Mowlds; John and his son Jeff Groshell; Scott Krieger and his dad, Dick. Dick wasn't a pro, but he might as well have been.<br />
<br />
I'm so grateful to all these families for their kindness and support. They have made my journey in the golf business so much richer and more rewarding. Here are some quotes from other family members in the golf business. I find it amusing how many times I've heard people say, "Don't go into the golf business." Thank goodness these families ignored that advice, because where would our great game be without them?<br />
<br />
“In 2014 I was honored to be the Captain of the United States Junior Ryder Cup Team. Victorius I might add. The event was in Scotland and the entire family was in attendance. Watching the greatest junior players in the world was very motivating for all of us. Also, at the 2008 Ryder Cup during my Presidency, I had the chance to have former President Bush meet my family and hold my 10-month-old grandson Brody in his arms. Quite an experience.” - Brian Whitcomb<br />
<br />
“Family throughout my 39 years in the golf business has been somewhat two-fold for me. I have my immediate family, who have given me so much support throughout my career, and my working families that I have had the pleasure of working with at the five different clubs over that span. Since childhood we have been a sports family with my two brothers and I playing the major sports—football, baseball, and basketball—and of course golf. Eventually golf became our sport with John and I becoming PGA Professionals and my younger brother Kelly becoming a Superintendent and now a District manager with Toro. I also had the great pleasure of my son Blake, after his basketball career in college, turn pro and work for me for over two years. He is now in Austin, Texas in a different career!” - Steve Bowen<br />
<br />
“I’m a firm believer that it takes an army of people to achieve greatness. How has it helped my career? We each have different gifts that allow us to work so well together as a group. Each and every family member has helped me be a better golfer, man of God, father, husband and businessman. I could not have gotten to where I am today without my family.” - Bryce Fisher<br />
<br />
“My best memory with my family is when I was a kid and on a very rare occasion all of the Runge men would get to play 9 holes together at Willapa Harbor Golf Course.” - Mitch Runge<br />
<br />
“I’ve been able to use my family members as a sounding board because my family members are in the golf business. I never feel alone.” - Ross Kukula<br />
<br />
“First, all four of us played together many times. Second [best memory of family members in golf], attending the 2022 US Amateur gallery for my son Andrew Von Lossow [and watching him] winning the match and a spot on the Golf Channel.” - Jim Von Lossow <br />
<br />
“Competing against my siblings as kids, as we learned how to play, was a big part of development. I took pride in trying to be an example to them as the oldest on how to succeed in the game. That no doubt helped me as I grew, and now working with my sister Sheena at The Home Course, I get to continue sharing with her our love of golf at work each day.” - Shane Prante<br />
<br />
“For Dad's 70th birthday we all got together (Dad, David, Barbara, Danny and myself) and played a fivesome at Quail Valley which had just opened. Mom rode around in the cart, and it was the perfect afternoon. The next day Dad called me and said, “That was his best, proudest day ever on a golf course.” It will always be mine also!” - Doug Hixson<br />
<br />
“My wonderful wife would bring our three children to the golf course in the evening so they could see Dad, and that led to doing family golf activities together. This led to the kids becoming involved in competitive golf, and all three children playing college golf and the two boys becoming Golf Professionals. Since we have three children (and if you add me), we had a natural foursome. Susan took a different path with golf and became a top-rate USGA rules expert. With the children grown up and out of the house, it has been a big part of Susan’s and my summers going to and helping run junior golf tournaments.” -Steve Prugh<br />
<br />
“Having a son who is a golf pro has helped me be a better mentor, not only to him but other young golf professionals as my career has progressed. I think that was an area that I was not always at my best, but thankfully have improved as my son has progressed as a professional.” - Charlie Thurston<br />
<br />
“I don't have my own children, but my siblings and dad have been involved in golf our entire lives so it's just kind of in our blood. I tried to get away and take other career paths but ultimately came back to golf because it hooks you in—especially when you have a dad and siblings to talk to about golf. It's at family events, holidays etc. It connects you all.” - Sheena Prante <br />
<br />
“Joe Clarizio is my stepdad of 56 years. My whole family worked at Arrowhead. My mother was the GM, Joe was the Director of Golf, I was the Head Professional, my older sister was the controller, my other sister worked in F&B and my younger brother was the Superintendent. Also, all our children worked at the club at some point. Obviously, working at Arrowhead has been a big part of my family’s lives.” - Rob Gibbons<br />
<br />
The family element is one of the things that makes golf so special. It is a game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds, and it is a great way to bring people together. Golfing families are a testament to this, and they are an important part of what makes the game so special. <br />

<div>By Tom Sovay, PGA<br />
<br />
I grew up in a fairly large family, the youngest of six children. No one in my family golfed, but I played every sport you can imagine that involved a ball, including handball. Golf was my passion, but I didn't have the means or a course close enough to start my golf journey. I had to wait until I got a job and a car.<br />
<br />
This isn't a story about me, but about the many families that have made our game better and the legacy they carry on. When I first got into the business as an assistant working at a municipal golf course (Jackson Park in Seattle), I knew some of the legends right away. John Hoetmer and his son Ron. Bob Tindall and his son Bill (in my opinion, the greatest golf pro I've ever met).<br />
<br />
The family element in the golf business is extremely welcoming. I experienced this firsthand when I attended my first National Club Pro Championship in La Quinta, California. I was young and naive, and I didn't know anyone there. But then Steve Bowen came up to me and asked, "Where are you staying?" I told him I didn't know, and he said, "You're staying with me."<br />
<br />
Steve is from a golfing family. His brother John is a PGA member, and his son Blake worked for Steve as a pro for a while. He adopted me into his golfing family that day, and I'm so grateful for his kindness and generosity.<br />
<br />
This is just one example of the many ways that golfing families have welcomed me into their fold. Bill Tindall, who was the head pro at Jackson Golf Course in Seattle when I was an assistant, also took me under his wing. He taught me a wealth of knowledge about the business, teaching, and playing golf. He told me that public golf is vital to the game.<br />
<br />
I've also been fortunate to be adopted by the Hixson family. Harvey Hixson is a former PGA President, and his son Dan is a renowned golf course architect. They have both been incredibly supportive of me, and I'm so grateful for their friendship.<br />
<br />
Jim Von Lossow and his brother John are two other great golfers who have welcomed me into their family. Jim played on the PGA Tour, and John played in two US Amateurs. They have both been generous with their time and advice, and I'm so lucky to have them as friends.<br />
<br />
Bryan and Mark Tunstill are two other golfing families that I'm honored to be a part of. Bryan is a Hall of Fame member in our section, and Mark is one of the most engaging and witty people I know. I'm so grateful for their friendship and support.<br />
<br />
I could go on and on about all the golfing families that have made me feel welcome in this industry. But the biggest thing to remember is that I'm just one small example of their generosity. They are committed to making our game great, and the family element is an innate welcoming skill they have all inherently not only developed but perfected.<br />
<br />
The other families that have adopted me, and whom I have tremendous respect for, include the Runge Family—three generations, Hank (father) Louie, Chris, (sons) and now Mitch; Joe Clarizo and Rob Gibbons; Steve, Corey and Alex Prugh; Jerry and JD Mowlds; John and his son Jeff Groshell; Scott Krieger and his dad, Dick. Dick wasn't a pro, but he might as well have been.<br />
<br />
I'm so grateful to all these families for their kindness and support. They have made my journey in the golf business so much richer and more rewarding. Here are some quotes from other family members in the golf business. I find it amusing how many times I've heard people say, "Don't go into the golf business." Thank goodness these families ignored that advice, because where would our great game be without them?<br />
<br />
Brian Whitcomb<br />
“In 2014 I was honored to be the Captain of the United States Junior Ryder Cup Team. Victorius I might add. The event was in Scotland and the entire family was in attendance. Watching the greatest junior players in the world was very motivating for all of us. Also, at the 2008 Ryder Cup during my Presidency, I had the chance to have former President Bush meet my family and hold my 10-month-old grandson Brody in his arms. Quite an experience.”<br />
<br />
Steve Bowen<br />
“Family throughout my 39 years in the golf business has been somewhat two-fold for me. I have my immediate family, who have given me so much support throughout my career, and my working families that I have had the pleasure of working with at the five different clubs over that span. Since childhood we have been a sports family with my two brothers and I playing the major sports—football, baseball, and basketball—and of course golf. Eventually golf became our sport with John and I becoming PGA Professionals and my younger brother Kelly becoming a Superintendent and now a District manager with Toro. I also had the great pleasure of my son Blake, after his basketball career in college, turn pro and work for me for over two years. He is now in Austin, Texas in a different career!”<br />
<br />
Bryce Fisher<br />
“I’m a firm believer that it takes an army of people to achieve greatness. How has it helped my career? We each have different gifts that allow us to work so well together as a group. Each and every family member has helped me be a better golfer, man of God, father, husband and businessman. I could not have gotten to where I am today without my family.”<br />
<br />
Mitch Runge<br />
“My best memory with my family is when I was a kid and on a very rare occasion all of the Runge men would get to play 9 holes together at Willapa Harbor Golf Course.”<br />
<br />
Ross Kukula<br />
“I’ve been able to use my family members as a sounding board because my family members are in the golf business. I never feel alone.”<br />
<br />
Jim Von Lossow <br />
“First, all four of us played together many times. Second [best memory of family members in golf], attending the 2022 US Amateur gallery for my son Andrew Von Lossow [and watching him] winning the match and a spot on the Golf Channel.”<br />
<br />
Shane Prante<br />
“Competing against my siblings as kids, as we learned how to play, was a big part of development. I took pride in trying to be an example to them as the oldest on how to succeed in the game. That no doubt helped me as I grew, and now working with my sister Sheena at The Home Course, I get to continue sharing with her our love of golf at work each day.” <br />
<br />
Doug Hixson<br />
“For Dad's 70th birthday we all got together (Dad, David, Barbara, Danny and myself) and played a fivesome at Quail Valley which had just opened. Mom rode around in the cart, and it was the perfect afternoon. The next day Dad called me and said, “That was his best, proudest day ever on a golf course.” It will always be mine also!” <br />
<br />
Steve Prugh<br />
“My wonderful wife would bring our three children to the golf course in the evening so they could see Dad, and that led to doing family golf activities together. This led to the kids becoming involved in competitive golf, and all three children playing college golf and the two boys becoming Golf Professionals. Since we have three children (and if you add me), we had a natural foursome. Susan took a different path with golf and became a top-rate USGA rules expert. With the children grown up and out of the house, it has been a big part of Susan’s and my summers going to and helping run junior golf tournaments.”<br />
<br />
Charlie Thurston<br />
“Having a son who is a golf pro has helped me be a better mentor, not only to him but other young golf professionals as my career has progressed. I think that was an area that I was not always at my best, but thankfully have improved as my son has progressed as a professional.”<br />
<br />
Sheena Prante <br />
“I don't have my own children, but my siblings and dad have been involved in golf our entire lives so it's just kind of in our blood. I tried to get away and take other career paths but ultimately came back to golf because it hooks you in—especially when you have a dad and siblings to talk to about golf. It's at family events, holidays etc. It connects you all.”<br />
<br />
Rob Gibbons<br />
“Joe Clarizio is my stepdad of 56 years. My whole family worked at Arrowhead. My mother was the GM, Joe was the Director of Golf, I was the Head Professional, my older sister was the controller, my other sister worked in F&B and my younger brother was the Superintendent. Also, all our children worked at the club at some point. Obviously, working at Arrowhead has been a big part of my family’s lives.”<br />
<br />
The family element is one of the things that makes golf so special. It is a game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds, and it is a great way to bring people together. Golfing families are a testament to this, and they are an important part of what makes the game so special. <br />

<div>=Daniel Campbell Takes Home Assistant Championship=<br />
==By: Grant Tribolet, Tournament Intern==<br />
<br />
The National Car Rental PNW PGA Assistant Professional Championship took place on August 7th at Tualatin Country Club in Tualatin, Oregon. For 36 holes, 36 assistants and associates battled for the championship and a chance to play in the 47th annual PGA Assistant Championship this November at PGA Golf Club, Wanamaker Course in Port St. Lucie, Florida.<br />
<br />
After the first round, Daniel Campbell of Bellingham Golf and Country Club sat atop the leaderboard after an opening round of -6 66. “The course set up well for my game. I'm generally really solid off the tee, and putting is also pretty solid, but my wedges this week were spot on, which led to a lot of good looks for birdie.” But there were still another 18 holes to play, and a familiar name chased down the leader. Multi-winner of the event, Shane Prante of The Home Course, sat one shot back of Daniel after round one.<br />
<br />
As the 36 holes came to a close, it proved that it would not be enough to decide the victor as Daniel Campbell and Shane Prante sat atop the leaderboard tied at -7. Both players have already had an exceptional season, with a major victory for each of them; it was sure to be an exciting conclusion to the event.<br />
<br />
The playoff commenced on the 1st hole following the conclusion of play. Daniel Campbell came out on top after the first hole. When asked about his strategy, Campbell said he “[Wanted] to be aggressive and hit the driver and then just try to get it up down for birdie. [His] pitching and chipping had been great all day, so [he] believed that [he] could get it up and down for birdie if [he] hit a good drive.” He was able to do just that!<br />
<br />
This is Campbell’s second victory of the season, and he is excited to continue his strong play through the last few events. “It feels great, a lot of this success this year comes from a good start to the year with winning the Pro-Assistants Championship with my Head Professional Cameron Fife in March. But to win another individual title is great, I've been playing well all summer so far and just want to keep it going for the next few events that I have.”<br />
<br />
We want to congratulate Daniel Campbell on his tremendous play and his second victory of the 2023 season! We would also like to congratulate Shane Prante of The Home Course, Colin Inglis of Shadow Hills Country Club, and Blake Netter of Willamette Valley Country Club for being the three eligible assistants that qualified for the 2023 PGA Assistant’s Championship.<br />
<br />
The PNW PGA Section would like to thank host PGA Head Professional Jeremy Moe and all his staff and grounds crew for having Tualatin Country Club in championship condition. We would also like to appreciate our sponsor National Car Rental and the support of Srixon, Cleveland Golf, XXIO, and the PGA Tour.<br />

<div>The earliest record of the Assistant Championship being conducted by the Pacific Northwest Section is the 1935 Assistant Championship at Olympia C&GC. Fred Pelzer donated the trophy in 1965. The National Championship tradition began in 1976 to recognize the role of the PGA Assistant Professional and how important he or she may be in the success of a golf facility as well as our entire Association. They represent more than 10,000 men and women assistant professionals and registered apprentices nationwide.<br />

<div>=Malby Wins Back-to-Back Senior Oregon Open Titles=<br />
<br />
==By: Grant Tribolet, Tournament Intern==<br />
<br />
The 21st annual Senior Oregon Open took place at the Wildhorse Resort Golf Club and the Golf Course at Birch Creek and was an excellent host to our full field of 300 players. A hidden desert oasis, the two courses provided an exciting event that crowned a more than worthy champion. PGA Professional Ryan Malby of Kalispell, Montana, won the 2023 Senior Oregon Open Championship for the second year in a row with a three-day total of -15 201. <br />
<br />
The championship commenced on August 1st, and the players were ecstatic to hit the ground running. The players started hot as low rounds came in spades. After round one, PGA Professional of Awbrey Glen Golf Club Tim Fraley fired a first-round 66 at Birch Creek and grabbed on to a one-shot lead over amateurs Erik Hanson of Sahalee Country Club and Pendleton local Joe Reyes of Birch Creek. But business was being handled on Wildhorse as defending champion PGA Professional Ryan Malby fired a first-round 68 and sat two shots off the lead.<br />
<br />
Round two was a different story as the defending champion took a significant step towards retaining his title, posting a seven-under 65 and taking a four-shot lead. A confident player, the Kalispell, Montana Professional enjoyed the test of the two different courses and even felt at home on one of them. “I love the feel of Birch Creek. You Definitely have to place tee shots in more specific locations on several holes to really be able to attack certain pin locations. The shapes and undulations can certainly put you in awkward places if you are a bit off. To me, Birch Creek really has a Montana feel to it as well!”<br />
<br />
That four-shot lead carried over into round three as Ryan Malby secured his victory and won the Senior Oregon Open for the second year in a row. His first win of the season, Ryan’s game was not up to his standards until a few good rounds at the Rosaeurs Open Invitational put him in a good rhythm that helped him “peak at the right time.”<br />
<br />
When asked about the excitement of round three, this is what Ryan Malby had to say: “There were no nerves in round 3. Playing with three of my really good friends helps too. I just wanted to get off to a good start and kind of maintain then. Birdies at 2, 3, and 5 really took care of that. Just focused on rhythmic swings and fairways and greens from there.” <br />
<br />
“The win was certainly special. I certainly missed not having [my wife] Lisa there with me for the final days, but having my pro/am team supporting me and having Jon Lowry caddy the final round and Jose Chirino and Chuck Eble watching and cheering was amazing. I just really love the feel and camaraderie of the Senior Oregon Open.” Congratulations to Ryan Malby on his spectacular back-to-back victory!<br />
<br />
During the championship, a pro-am competition was held concurrently. Teams consisted of one PGA Professional and three amateurs. The team led by PGA Professional Jason Lehtola of Whitetail Golf Course, along with the amateurs Sean Hauser, Brad Dantic, and John Velk, who all represent Whitetail Golf Course, won the two-day team competition with a two-day total 36-under par 252. <br />
<br />
We want to thank Wild Horse Resort and Casino for their 21 years of continued support in hosting this event. Special thanks go to PGA Director of Golf Professional Mike Hegarty and his golf operations staff, Superintendent Sean Hoolehan and his grounds crew, and head PGA Professional Ryan Dahl of The GC at Birch Creek and his team.<br />

<div>=Robbins Wins 36th Rosauers Open Invitational=<br />
==by Grant Tribolet, Tournament Intern==<br />
<br />
The 36th annual Rosauers Open Invitational was held at the iconic Indian Canyon Golf Course, providing an excellent venue for our complete field of 168 players. Offering undulating terrain and blind tee shots, this exciting course once again served as an exceptional test of skill and patience for all participants.<br />
<br />
The first round began Friday, July 14. It started hot and temperatures remained warmer than average throughout the week. However, players still posted low scores, with PNW Golf Academy's Derek Berg leading by three shots after the first round with a score of 63.<br />
<br />
With Berg’s score being the best of round one, an interesting story was developing quietly during the second round. After a first-round 67, that included a hole-in-one on the par three 11th, North Shore Golf Course PGA Professional Conner Robbins was expertly plotting his way around Indian Canyon. His second-round 61 catapulted him to the top of the leaderboard in a tie with Derek Berg.<br />
<br />
There’s a saying that The Masters doesn’t start until the back nine on Sunday, and the 36th Rosauers Open Invitational exuded a similar energy. Conner Robbins held a sturdy lead going into the back nine of the third round, but an unfortunate bounce that yielded a double bogey on the par four 14th gave the field a chance and amateur Zachary Stoker was the one who took the jump. Stoker posted a back nine -5 with a dramatic birdie on 18 that eliminated Robbins’ lead and gave Stoker a seat at the top, tied with Robbins. <br />
<br />
The tournament came down to the final hole. Conner Robbins made a ten-foot putt on the 54th hole of the tournament for a walk-off eagle, a two-stroke victory, and the first victory of his PGA Pacific Northwest career!<br />
<br />
Robbins said that he enjoyed the anxiety of being in the mix on the final holes. "When you are in the mix with a few holes left, there is an adrenaline nervous feel that you get to experience," he said. "There is no other feeling in sports that compares, and it heightens your 'in the moment' brain…Whenever I get that feeling, I just have a blast hitting each shot." <br />
<br />
Preceding the 36th Rosauers Open Invitational, the Franz Bakery Pro-Am supporting Vanessa Behan took place. The overall winners of the team event were the BUNZL #1 team, consisting of PGA Professional Bo Baker with amateurs Doug Titus, Bill Kodama, Joe Tappan, Rick Sorenson, and Bob McClure, who posted an excellent combined two-day score of 241, 47-under. This year's event raised $170,000 for the charity, with donations totaling $3,650,000 over the 36 years of the tournament.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to BUNZL #1 for the Pro-Am victory and Conner Robbins for his flagship PGA Pacific Northwest victory! We thank Indian Canyon GC Head PGA Professional Doug Phares for providing a beautiful venue for the 36th Rosauers Open Invitational. Thanks to Superintendent Josh Harty and his staff for their tireless effort to prepare the course. We would also like to thank Rosauers Supermarkets, Franz Bakery, and all the various sponsors and volunteers for continuing to make this event so special!<br />

==by Grant Tribolet, Tournament Intern==<br />
<br />
The 36th annual Rosauers Open Invitational took place at the historic Indian Canyon Golf Course and was an excellent host to our full field of 168 players. An exciting place to tee it up with undulating terrain and blind tee shots, it once again proved an exceptional test of skill and patience. <br />
<br />
The first round began Friday, July 14. It started hot and temperatures remained warmer than average throughout the week. However, players still posted low scores, with PNW Golf Academy's Derek Berg leading by three shots after the first round with a score of 63.<br />
<br />
With Berg’s score being the best of round one, an interesting story was developing quietly during the second round. After a first-round 67, that included a hole-in-one on the par three 11th, North Shore Golf Course PGA Professional Conner Robbins was expertly plotting his way around Indian Canyon. His second-round 61 catapulted him to the top of the leaderboard in a tie with Derek Berg.<br />
<br />
There’s a saying that The Masters doesn’t start until the back nine on Sunday, and the 36th Rosauers Open Invitational exuded a similar energy. Conner Robbins held a sturdy lead going into the back nine of the third round, but an unfortunate bounce that yielded a double bogey on the par four 14th gave the field a chance and amateur Zachary Stoker was the one who took the jump. Stoker posted a back nine -5 with a dramatic birdie on 18 that eliminated Robbins’ lead and gave Stoker a seat at the top, tied with Robbins. However, the spectators sat in anxious silence as Robbins stepped up to hit his shot into the par five 18th. <br />
<br />
The tournament came down to the final hole. Conner Robbins made a ten-foot putt on the 54th hole of the tournament for a walk-off eagle, a two-stroke victory, and the first victory of his PGA Pacific Northwest career!<br />
<br />
Robbins said that he enjoyed the anxiety of being in the mix on the final holes. "When you are in the mix with a few holes left, there is an adrenaline nervous feel that you get to experience," he said. "There is no other feeling in sports that compares, and it heightens your 'in the moment' brain…Whenever I get that feeling, I just have a blast hitting each shot." <br />
