History of the Championship

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 associates nationwide. This year’s Assistant Championship marks the 45th Anniversary as a National event but the PNW Section has been conducting the event since Fred Pelzer donated the trophy in 1965.
