The Indiana Golf Association is the governing body of amateur golf in Indiana as recognized by the United States Golf Association. Included in its responsibilities is administering the oldest and most prestigious golf tournament in the state, the Indiana Amateur Championship.

The Indiana Section of the PGA of America is the governing body of professional golfers in Indiana as recognized by the Professional Golfer’s Association. Administering tournaments, including the Indiana Open and Indiana Section Club Professional Championship, providing educational opportunities and assisting with employment matters are just a few of the many ways the Indiana PGA serves the over 500 members and apprentices in the state.

In 1972, these two associations joined forces with the common goal to promote golf in Indiana. The IGA-PGA gives Indiana golf the coordinated efforts of both the amateur and professional organizations. The golfers in Indiana are fortunate to have this unique relationship, one of only two in the country. The IGA-PGA also provides a premier handicapping system to its members and member courses.

In 1995, the Indiana Women’s Golf Association (IWGA) joined forces with the IGA-PGA to administer the Indiana Women’s State Amateur Championship and work at developing more women’s tournament opportunities and programs.

Another main focus of the IGA-PGA is the Indiana Golf Foundation. Formed in 1994, the Foundation’s theme is “Preserving the Past, Investing in the Future” of Indiana golf through developing a new generation of players, while at the same time celebrating the past history and accomplishments of the many who have come before. Since 1987 the Pepsi Indiana Junior Golf Program has been providing professional, competitive tournament opportunities for junior golfers in Indiana. In 2001, the Foundation opened the doors of the Gongaware Indiana Junior Golf Academy to provide a first-class teaching facility with a dormitory to house 48 campers and state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor teaching facilities. Scholarship assistance is available through the Foundation to attend camp, as well as to graduating high school seniors who wish to pursue a college education.

About five years ago, I received a phone call from Jackie Hauck, then IWGA President, asking me if I would like to serve as a Northern Director. I was somewhat reluctant at first, because I just started a new job and wasn’t sure if I would be able to

devote the time. How quickly the years have gone by. It is now 2012, and I am honored to be the IWGA’s President. Looking back, I am very happy to have received Jackie’s phone call and to have the opportunity to promote women’s golf in Indiana. I am looking forward to what our board can bring to women’s golf in Indiana in the years to come.

To recap 2011, Mother Nature certainly had a few tricks up her sleeve. Starting with a

cold, dreary, and wet spring, to a very hot and dry summer, it proved to be a very “testing” season of golf. Despite all of the weather conditions, IWGA events were very successful and supported. Through the event survey emails, we have been able to make necessary changes to increase participation. For example, a change for 2011 was the addition of a Senior Division to the Women’s Mid-Am. This change proved to be well received and will continue for 2012. Another high point of 2011 was sending an Indiana team to Savannah, Ga, for the USGA State Team Championship. Thank you to Kristi Trotter, Julie Carmichael, and Nina Whalen for representing Indiana and finishing 25th! Finally, congratulations to Kristi O’Brien, this year’s Indiana Women’s Player of the Year. Kristi’s exceptional play throughout the season proved why she deserved the Alice O’Neal Dye Award.

For 2012, there will be a change to the event schedule. We will continue to offer five tournaments at great venues around the state, but the board has decided to discontinue the Play Days. Even though the feedback was very positive and the days were well received, we have decided to focus our attention back to the tournament schedule.

In closing, myself and the IWGA board would like to take this opportunity to thank all the participants for a successful 2011 season. We would also like to thank the golf professionals, superintendents, and the Golf Office Staff for all of their hard work throughout the season. One final thank you goes to Lisa Chambers Wallace for her hard work over the past five years as the Director of Marketing and Communications at the Golf Office. Good luck in your new position and we look forward to seeing you play in the 2012 events.

I am once again honored to be the President of the Indiana Golf Association for my second two year term. My last term ended in 2007, and in looking back at my last written message, I note that some things have changed while many have not.

We still have the best state association in the country. Mike David and his staff continue to do an excellent job of keeping our tournaments and programs strong, and of working with the Indiana PGA, the IWGA, the State Seniors Association, the Indiana Golf Foundation, and the USGA.

It is still difficult to be an owner or operator of a golf facility given our current economy.

I hope that we as an organization can continue to attempt to help this group as much as possible. We have noticed a drop in participation in several of our tournaments and a substantial drop in the number of players using our handicapping system. I will work to remedy these declines over the next two years.

Our tournament offerings will change somewhat. We are adding a fifth McDonald’s series event. These one day events continue to be popular, as we recognize the difficulty for many of our players to be able to play in multiple day events. Our four man team event that we have historically held in the fall will be discontinued. We are hoping to add another event for senior golfers, and we have added a Super Seniors (65 and over) Division to our State Senior Amateur.

2012 promises to be an interesting and busy year for Indiana golf. The PGA Tour will be at Crooked Stick in the fall for the BMW

Championship. I am most excited about the fact that The Indiana Golf Foundation has taken over the First Tee program for Central Indiana, giving us another wonderful opportunity to grow the game. And Prairie View will host the State Amateur for the first time in that tournament’s history.

I would like to recognize a few people. Congratulations to Patrick Rodgers from Avon for playing on the Walker Cup squad, and to Bo Van Pelt and Jeff Overton for their continued success on the PGA Tour. Thanks to Terry Smith for his work as President over the last two years and for his family’s unyielding support of Indiana golf. Special thanks to Joan Schernekau and to Lisa Chambers Wallace for their incredible work over the past years that has made this organization what it is today.

And thank you for your support of the IGA.

In October, the 2011 TaylorMade Indiana Section PGA Fall Meeting took place in Indianapolis. I kicked off the business meeting with some exciting golf achievements in the state of Indiana from 2011, but I also shared a realistic look at the economic condition of the business of golf. We are over populated in comparison to number of rounds. In order for us to show recovery, there must be either closure of facilities or an increase in the number of rounds. Our PGA of America leadership will not go for a reduction in our PGA organization! Therefore, we must increase rounds.

In November, our Executive Director, Mike David, Indiana Secretary, Keith Clark, Indiana Vice President, Todd Firestone and I attended the 2011 PGA Fall Conference of Leaders in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The whole focus was the PGA’s new strategic initiative Golf 2.0 with the goals of retaining and strengthening the core golfers, engaging lapsed golfers and driving new players to improve the industry.

The PGA of America is respected as the ‘Leaders of the Industry’ and we will be supported with our strategic initiative of Golf 2.0. Every arm of the industry from the USGA and GCSAA to the manufacturers, to the architects, to the media and NGCOA, have all aligned with one goal in mind – grow the game of golf!

When we look at lapsed golfers and creating new golfers, it is impossible to overlook the female population. Donna Orender, former President of the WNBA and Suzy Whaley, renowned PGA Member and member of the PGA Board of Directors, are leading the charge on this front.

A tremendous announcement also was made concerning alliance with the Boys and Girls Club of America. Frank Sanchez, Jr., Vice President of Sports, Entertainment and Alumni Development at the Boys and Girls Club was on hand to speak about the coalition with the PGA of America. This tie will provide a long term relationship producing on-site PGA golf programs and field trip opportunities to PGA golf facilities.

The PGA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was also part of the conference in Port St. Lucie. Being the 2009 PGA Golf Professional of the Year, Mr. Jack Barber was inducted into the PGA Hall of Fame. As you would expect, Mr. Barber was the epitome of professional grace. He was the perfect representation of an award winning PGA Golf Professional to his club, his Indiana Section and the PGA of America. Most importantly though, everyone in attendance got a peek at what a special person Jack is to his staff, peers, membership, friends and family. Congratulations Jack on being such an inspiration to so many!

And in January at the Orange County Convention Center, Chip Essig was officially honored as the National PGA Golf Professional of the Year! Congratulations to Chip for this outstanding accomplishment.

Finally, as I head into my last year as President, I am confident that our board members will step up to leadership in the future. At the Fall Business Meeting, the Board of Directors had three members with term expirations opening up three spots for the election. Nine PGA Members ran for these three Board positions. In a very competitive election, Ryan Ford and Dan Ross were re-elected to the Board and Bill Pollert successfully won a new position on the Board.

We still needed to fill one last open position since Board Member Seth Ray took a position at National Headquarters with the Education Department. Seth had one more year left on his Board term. In this scenario, the Board decides who will fulfill Seth’s term. In a unanimous decision, Joel Baumgartner was positioned on the Board to fulfill the term. Joel had been unsuccessful in the last few elections, but showed sincere passion toward his career and helping the section. Congratulations Joel!

With the strength of your Section Office led by Mike David and the PGA Board we now look to the 2012 golf season. The focus is primed toward Golf 2.0 and increasing the number of rounds and business at each of our facilities. The Indiana Section PGA will devote education and support toward making Golf 2.0 a success for us all.

Best regards,

Indiana PGA President’s MessageBy Tim Frazier

2011-2012Annual6

Golf has been experiencing a supply and demand problem for several years now, especially in Indiana where we are grossly overbuilt. The number of courses rose dramatically through the 1990s, but during the same period, the overall growth of the game leveled off. This put a number of Indiana courses in a position where they were forced to discount prices in order to compete.

To compound the problem, the economic downturn forced people to play fewer rounds of golf and some people totally left the game. Statistics show the number of golfers has dropped from 31 million to 26 million in the United States.

More competition, fewer players and fewer rounds of golf all add up to a difficult environment for golf course operators. However, the drop in the number of people playing the game is of an even greater concern. With people’s time and resources at a premium, something must be done to ensure that the game of golf re-establishes itself as a viable, family oriented, leisure activity anyone can enjoy.

The PGA of America has taken the lead in the battle to reinvigorate the game by commissioning a study by the Boston Consulting Group. The Boston Consulting Group surveyed random people across the country about their golf consumer habits and the research shows some amazing numbers that provide hope for the future of the game.

The BCG study found that 90 million Americans have played golf in the past and enjoyed the experience. Of those 90 million, 70 percent have expressed some interest in playing again. In addition, the study found there is also a significant amount of people who have never played the game but would like to try and there are a number of current players who want to play more golf.

From the BCG Study, the PGA of America has established the Golf 2.0 initiative. Golf

2.0 is an aggressive, dynamic, strategic plan designed to grow the game of golf to 40 million golfers by 2020. Whether that lofty goal is met or not is somewhat secondary to the core goal of changing the tide from losing players every year to showing an increase in the number of people playing the game of golf.

The three core strategies of the Golf 2.0 initiative are to retain and strengthen the core golfers, engage the lapsed golfers and drive new players to the game.

While the PGA is leading the charge the rest of the golf industry has pledged their support to the Golf 2.0 initiative. The PGA Tour, USGA, LPGA, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, Club Managers Association and National Golf Course Owners Association are just a few of the organizations that are supporting Golf 2.0.

What happens now?

It is important to keep in mind that Golf 2.0 is an overall initiative from the leaders in the golf industry to reinvigorate and grow the game of golf. It is also important to note that the Golf 2.0 initiative will continue to evolve.

The core messages to be delivered from Golf 2.0 initiatives are that golf is a fun family activity, it is affordable, it doesn’t have to include a full 18 hole round, it’s healthy and it welcomes women. Consumer advertising over the next several months will focus on these five key areas and highlight the fact golf is a game that can be played by virtually every age group and it is a healthy way for a family to spend quality time together, something that few other sports offer.

The cost and time factors are roadblocks currently mentioned as to why people don’t start playing, or play more golf. Statistics show the median cost for 18 holes at a public facility in 2010 was $28 and 70 percent of all golf courses are public facilities. Golf is more affordable than is often perceived. From a time commitment standpoint, programs such as a 9 and Dine, 6 holes after 6 pm, Parent/Child 4 hole events and other time saving alternative golf options will be delivered by numerous golf facilities to encourage people to play more.

A large push from the Golf 2.0 initiative will be geared toward women and golf. Research shows women want to play golf as a family activity but also acknowledge golf can be a valuable business tool that provides professional networking benefits.

Finally, with more and more Americans trying to live a healthy lifestyle, golf is a perfect sport for the masses. Golf can be played by people of all ages and body types and health and fitness experts stress that taking 10,000 steps per day, the equivalent of 18 holes or

five miles, will improve your overall fitness.

The first step to implement the Golf 2.0 initiative was the recent introduction of the Golf 2.0 Player Development Playbook that the PGA of America is providing to their 27,000 PGA Members and Apprentices nationwide. The Player Development Playbook is complete with step by step processes that can be followed to introduce new programs to encourage new golfers to play and current golfers to play more.

Additional Playbooks are in the final stages of development and will be rolled out in the next few months. Those Playbooks will focus on knowing your customer, growing junior golf and connecting with women golfers.

To launch the Golf 2.0 initiative four main programs will be featured in 2012. Those programs are Get Golf Ready, TEE IT FORWARD and the PGA Sports Academy.

Get Golf Ready is a way to bring adults into the game in a fast, fun and affordable way. It is a nationally branded golf experience that provides beginning players with a series of 5 lessons for just $99. The program provides participants with an introduction to the game and gives them the basic fundamentals of the golf swing. It also gives participants a general understanding of how to act, where to go and what to do when you visit a golf facility. A Get Golf Ready 2 program refines those skills learned in the basic GGR program.

TEE IT FORWARD encourages golfers to play the course at a length that best suits their abilities. All too often egos get in the way of fun on the golf course. TEE IT FORWARD allows a golfer to have more fun and to play faster, two key components involved in why people are not playing more golf.

Finally, the PGA Sports Academy is an exciting and interactive approach to growing junior golf participation. The elements of PGA Sports Academy can be implemented into existing junior golf programs. The curriculum includes golf skills, fitness and nutrition, sportsmanship, rules and safety and golf and near golf experiences. The golf and near golf experiences reinforces the thought that golf does not always have to be 18 holes. Friends, Family and Fun is the overall theme for the Golf 2.0 initiative that has been embraced by the entire golf community and is now being rolled out to the golfing, and non-golfing public. While it remains to be seen whether 40 million golfers by 2020 is achievable, the PGA of America, along with the rest of the golf industry, has taken an important step toward revitalizing the game of golf and encouraging current golfers to play more and non-golfers to take up the sport.

2011 NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR

CHIP ESSIG:

2011 - 2012 Annual 9

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Don “Chip” Essig IV of Indianapolis, who extended a family tradition in Section leadership, administering the Rules of Golf and managing golf facilities, has been named the 58th recipient of the PGA Golf Professional of the Year Award, the highest annual honor bestowed by The PGA of America on a PGA Professional.

Essig, a 21-year member of The PGA of America, is the PGA Director of Golf and owner of Hickory Stick Golf Club in Greenwood, and is the third member of the Indiana PGA Section to be so honored. He follows his father, PGA Golf Professional Hall of Famer Don Essig III – a 1984 Horton Smith Award recipient – as the second father-son combination to receive a PGA of America national award.

Chip Essig will be recognized at The PGA of America Awards, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012, during the 59th PGA Merchandise Show at the Orange County Convention Center’s Chapin Theater in Orlando, Fla.

Essig, 46, who achieved PGA Master Professional status in 2004, follows the late Don Padgett I, formerly of Selma, Ind. (1961) and Jack Barber of Indianapolis (2009) as the only Indiana PGA Section members to receive the Association’s highest annual honor. Essig and his father

follow one previous father-son PGA national award combination. Joe Walser, formerly of Oklahoma City, was the 1970 Horton Smith Award recipient, and his son Jeff Walser, formerly of La Quinta, Calif., won the 1990 President’s Plaque.

Born in Indianapolis as the only son of the 1957 U.S. Public Links Champion, Chip Essig’s first memory of holding a golf club was at age 8. He grew up playing the game at a course his father owned and operated, the former Hoosier Links in New Palestine, Ind. By the time he graduated from high school, Essig had performed virtually every job at the course. He also served as an unpaid instructor for one of the largest growth of the game instruction programs in the country involving more than 900 students annually.

Essig attended Purdue University, where he graduated in 1987 with a degree in accounting, following the professional path of his grandfather. But golf continued its lure, and Essig declared professional that year and went on to earn PGA membership in 1990, a pathway that he carved by observing the leadership skills of other professionals and following his father’s advice, “that PGA Professionals help each other out.”

Essig is the co-owner of Essig Golf LLC, a golf course management company that oversees three facilities in the Indianapolis area – Hickory Stick Golf Club, Heartland Crossing Golf Links in Camby; and Pebble Brook Golf Course in Noblesville. The trio of facilities combine for 85,000 rounds per year, servicing more than 1,000 members and employ three PGA Professionals, two PGA teaching professionals and four apprentice professionals.

“This is one honor that it is hard to believe for me that I won, and I have to let it sink in,” said Essig. “I was thrilled when I won a Section award. I think the most enjoyment I had was watching my father’s reaction after he learned I had won. I also was able to share the news with my friends

on the PGA Rules Committee, and it made it all the more special to me.”

Essig has been a member of the Indiana PGA Section board of directors since 1998, serving on virtually every leadership committee and from 2006 to 2008 was Section president. Since 2000, he has been a board member of the Indiana Golf Foundation, a member of the USGA Men’s Amateur Public Links Committee; and has served since 2001 as a board member of IGA/PGA. In 1996, Essig was asked to host the Indiana State Special Olympics Tournament, and with a limited knowledge of the athletes and their program.

“Fifteen years later, it has been the most rewarding activity that I have been involved in my golf career,” said Essig. “I have met many great friends, both athletes and volunteers. The program has grown significantly, from 50 participants to more than 400 actively involved. My being selected in 2003 as the Team USA head coach was a great honor. We traveled to the Special Olympics World Games in Dublin, Ireland. It was an incredible experience.”

Growth of the game initiatives have been a constant within the family-operated core of public courses. In an effort to attract younger golfers to

a course that had primarily senior players, the Essigs began one of the first facilities in Indiana to offer free golf to juniors when accompanied by an adult. The campaign attracted many families who had never before played the course. The Essigs later partnered with a public school and a local charity to benefit inner-city youth. Several of the students in the golf program went on to receive college golf scholarships, and one is today a college head coach.

Essig said that among the pieces of advice shared by his father was a simple lesson in “keeping things in life in the right priority.”

“It begins with faith, followed by family, and then career,” said Essig. “That was the recipe for success, and I have never forgotten that piece of advice.”

Essig first read the Rules of Golf at age 12, while accompanying his father on a cross-country PGA of America Rules assignment to the West Coast. “By the time we arrived, I had read the whole book and had what I thought was a general knowledge of the Rules,” said Essig. “Dad said that it might be good to continue to study them. Later in life, the phone would ring at the club asking my Dad to answer a Rules question. If he wasn’t available, I provided an answer in his absence.”

In 1998, Essig was appointed to the PGA Rules Committee by the late PGA Rules legend, Ed Hoard, and his high-profile assignments have included every PGA Championship since 2001, a Senior PGA Championship, the 2009 Masters, three U.S. Senior Opens, two PGA Cups, and four PGA Professional National Championships.

Essig and his wife, Stefanie, live in Westfield, Ind., and are the parents of a daughter, Cameron Nicole, 6, and a son, Travis Ryan, 4.

Essig will be inducted into the Indiana Golf Hall of Fame in 2012.

“It begins with faith, followed by family, and then career,” said Essig. “That was the recipe for success, and I have never forgotten that piece of advice.”

The First Tee has awarded the Indianapolis First Tee Chapter to the Indiana Golf Foundation. The Chapter will immediately become The First Tee of Central Indiana, broadening the potential service area to a region from Kokomo to Seymour and Terre Haute to Richmond.

The mission of The First Tee is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.

“We are excited to incorporate The First Tee under the Indiana Golf Foundation umbrella,” said Indiana Golf Office Executive Director Mike David. “The First Tee’s philosophy of teaching life skills through the game of golf fits well into what the Foundation has been doing since its’ inception in 1994.”

Through The First Tee’s National Schools Program, over 5,900 kids have been reached at 21 IPS schools in the first two years that The First Tee has operated in Indianapolis. The program is targeted to reach 8,120 IPS kids by June 2012. The National Schools Program is delivered by trained wellness teachers as part of the Wellness curriculum.

“The First Tee of Indianapolis has accomplished some great things in the first couple of years of existence with the National Schools Program,” said David. “Our goal moving forward is to get The First Tee programs into more schools throughout central Indiana and to look for more on-course opportunities for the kids. By coming under the Foundation umbrella there is a tremendous growth opportunity for The First Tee in Indiana.”

Those sentiments were echoed by Kent Knorr, manager of golf course operations for Indy Parks and Recreation.

“Under the leadership of the Indiana Golf Foundation the opportunity for continued success is greatly increased, “said Knorr. “This transition will give The First Tee the best opportunity for growth not only at our Indy Parks Golf Courses, but also throughout Central Indiana.

According to David, the IGF is working to form partnerships with the City of Indianapolis and the Indianapolis City Golf Courses to offer The First Tee curriculum throughout the Indianapolis Metropolitan area. Future plans are to expand The First Tee programming to other central Indiana cities. One such program is already in place in Richmond, Ind., and is offered as part of The First Tee of Central Indiana.

“I am very excited for the youth in Central Indiana,” said Al Arrigoni, Associate Director of Mid – South Region Affairs for The First Tee. “The First Tee is committed to the success of young people by introducing the game and its positive inherent values. The Indiana Golf Foundation has at its core a great passion for the game and is the undisputable leader of the game in Indiana. The IGF Board, along with Mike David and his staff have all been a wonderful group committed to promoting the game and its positive inherent values making the collaborative effort a hole-in-one for Central Indiana,” added Arrigoni.

Jon Chapple’s merchandising plan had three key elements: offering a wide variety of quality products and vendors, offering competitive prices, and employing a friendly sales staff. He and his staff encourage demo

use and welcome merchandise returns. He claimed the most important and successful tactic was simply talking to his customers to help them decide how to best fit their needs and budget.

He did 100% of the buying for The Fort and did his best to take advantage of rebates and programs that make sense for his facility. Displays were changed at least every 10 days.

Chapple also won this award in 2007.

Economic Impact Launch Event and National Golf Day

Industry leaders educate legislators on how the golf industry impacts the economy, environment, well-being and charities.

A well-attended Economic Impact Launch Event at the statehouse April 12 conveyed the importance and magnitude of golf’s impact on Indiana’s economy. At 12:30 on the main floor of the capitol, Ted Bishop, Vice President of the PGA of America and Linda Rogers, Vice President of the National Golf Course Owners Association joined Mike David, Executive Director of the Indiana Golf Office for a brief presentation. The industry leaders presented the findings of the 2010 Economic Impact Study and emphasized the many ways that golf benefits all Indiana citizens, from facility employees and new junior golfers to local businesses and charities. Numerous legislators and Lt. Governor Becky Skillman filled the room throughout the day to learn and discuss golf’s important role in the state. PGA Professionals from around Indiana were also on hand to give free hitting and putting lessons to legislators and statehouse employees.

The Study, completed in 2010, showed impressive data. Golf provides $909 million in direct revenue to the Indiana economy. Compare that number to other industries in the state and it paints a clear picture of how important the golf industry is to the state’s economy. In Indiana, medical equipment manufacturing accounts for $5.8 billion to Indiana’s economy. Soybean production accounts for $2.4 billion to the economy and dairy products account

for $640 million to Indiana’s economy. Additionally, the Indiana Study showed that over 21,000 jobs in Indiana are created through the golf industry and account for a total wage income of $530 million.

It’s well publicized that golf and charities work hand in hand. The Study found that in 2008, charitable giving by the Indiana Golf Industry topped the $42 million mark. Golf course owners, operators and PGA Professionals serve as access points for hundreds, if not thousands, of local service organizations for their annual fundraising needs.

The findings of the study came as no surprise to those closely associated with the golf industry. “The Economic Impact Study validates that golf is an economic engine that contributes substantially to the momentum of the Indiana economy,” said Linda Rogers, owner of Juday Creek Golf Course in Granger, Ind. and Vice President of the National Golf Course Owners Association.

PGA of America CEO Joe Steranka concurred with Rogers’ statement. “The biggest benefit of these studies is the ability to show how golf benefits not only the 1 in 11 Americans who play, but entire communities which benefit from the jobs it creates, the green space it protects and the healthy recreation it provides for people of all ages,” said Steranka.

The study, which was prepared by SRI in agreement with Golf 20/20, was commissioned by the Indiana Golf Association and the Indiana Section of the PGA. Other associations that participated in the study were the Indiana Golf Course Owner’s Association, the Indiana Golf Course Superintendents Association, the Indiana Club Managers Association and the Indiana Office of Tourism Development.

And a day later in Washington, D.C., WE ARE GOLF, a coalition led by five of the game’s leading associations and supported by a wide range of industry partners, met with key Members of Congress on National Golf Day, Wednesday, April 13, 2011, to share stories and data that illustrate golf’s diverse businesses and their employees, the tax revenue it creates, the tourism it spawns, the charity it generates, and the environmental leadership it provides. WE ARE GOLF members met with Members of Congress throughout the day, and sponsored a day-long exhibit in the Rayburn Foyer.

WE ARE GOLF’s day-long exhibit in the Rayburn Foyer kicked-off at 10 a.m. with a live lesson from Jim Estes, founder of the Salute Military Golf Association, to (ret.) Sgt. Ramon Padillia, who has used the program as part of his rehabilitative therapy following wounds received in Afghanistan. House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller and Ranking Member Bob Filner were scheduled to attend that lesson.

The Foyer exhibit also included swing analysis from renowned instructor Michael Breed, host of the Golf Channel’s “The Golf Fix,” a Republican vs. Democrat putting challenge, and photo opportunities with the U.S. Open trophy.

The nearly two million U.S. jobs generated by the multi-billion-dollar golf industry, and its vast economic reach, are at the core of WE ARE GOLF’s message. Given the scope and pace of federal government activity and the impact on small businesses, the golf industry believes it can play a vital role as policymakers continue their efforts to boost employment and get the nation’s economy back on track. Beyond better demonstrating golf’s profound economic clout, WE ARE GOLF will seek to illustrate the industry’s health and wellness benefits, its unparalleled charitable giving, and its environmental sustainability initiatives.

Larry Nicolet, a former IGA board president and long-time member at the Country Club of Indianapolis, was presented the Clifford Wagoner Award Oct. 20 at an Indiana Golf Foundation banquet at Meridian Hills Country Club for his love for the game, commitment to promoting and growing golf in Indiana, and for his good sportsmanship on the course. “Golf has given me so much that after graduating from Purdue I really wanted to give something back to the game,” explained Larry. He attended Purdue University on a golf scholarship and graduated in 1971. Shortly after graduating, he joined CCI, and he jokes that the membership considers him the best CCI member to never have won a tournament.

While Nicolet has been a member at CCI, he has served three board terms from 1983-85, 1994-96, and 2009-11. He also served as president in 1995. Larry has also served on Indiana Golf Office boards of directors. In 1995 he joined the IGA board and only a year later became an officer, which led to his presidency from 2004-05. The Indiana Golf Foundation has also benefited from his service. From 1996-2008 Larry helped promote the game and junior golf as a board member. And since 2010, he has been involved with the Tri-State as a director.

For his friendly personality, great sportsmanship and dedication to giving back to the game of golf, the IGA is happy to honor Larry with this award.

Cardarelli Recognized for Free Lesson Month Efforts

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.— Each year, thousands of PGA/LPGA Professionals nationwide participate in PGA Free Lesson Month, giving consumers the opportunity to receive a free 10-minute lesson that can help improve their game. For Matt Cardarelli, PGA Teaching Professional at The Fort in Indianapolis, Ind., PGA Free Lesson Month is much more than a promotion: it’s the way he builds his business.

“I initiate free lessons by spending a lot of time on the course. Using my iPhone, I can record peoples’ swings and then play it back to illustrate simple changes that can help them improve their game,” Cardarelli says. “No one has ever turned down free instruction, and I find that it often results in a call to schedule more lessons.”

Cardarelli has understood the importance of building the game of golf since the day he started working on a golf course and takes every opportunity to help golfers improve and grow the game. In addition to promoting PGA Free Lesson Month on Facebook and around his facility, he hands out his card at gas stations, coffee shops, restaurants and everywhere else around town.

“In many ways, golf comes across as elitist and unwelcoming. People come to the course and act like they don’t belong. I want everyone to know that they’re accepted as a golfer, regardless of age, gender or race,” said Cardarelli. “I try to be positive and encouraging at every lesson – even if I don’t retain that student, I want them to know that there are friendly golf professionals out there who want to help.”

Cardarelli estimates that during the month of May he gives more than 200 free lessons, and that’s just the beginning. He has seen such a great response that it’s now a daily aspect of his teaching strategy for all eight months that his course is open.

2011 - 2012 Annual 27

Far Hills, N.J. -- The United States Golf Association (USGA) and the R&A today announced the publication of the new Rules of Golf for 2012-15.

Changes in the Rules – which for the first time have been designed, published and presented jointly by golf’s governing bodies – include exonerating a player from penalty if it is known their ball was moved by the wind after address.

Following an exhaustive, four-year review of golf’s 34 playing Rules, nine principal Rules have been amended to improve clarity and ensure penalties are proportionate. Significant changes include:

• Ball Moving After Address (Rule 18-2b). A new exception is added which exonerates the player from penalty if their ball moves after it has been addressed when it is known or virtually certain that they did not cause the ball to move. For example, if it is a gust of wind that moves the ball after it has been addressed, there is no penalty and the ball is played from its new position.

• Ball in Hazard; Prohibited Actions (Rule 13-4). Exception 2 to this Rule is amended to permit a player to smooth sand or soil in a hazard at any time, including before playing from that hazard, provided it is for the sole purpose of caring for the course and Rule 13-2 (improving lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of play) is not breached.

• Time of Starting (Rule 6-3a). The rule is amended to provide that the penalty for starting late, but within five minutes of the starting time, is reduced from disqualification to loss of the first hole in match play or two strokes at the first hole in stroke play. Previously this penalty reduction could be introduced as a condition of competition.

Commenting on the revisions to the Rules of Golf supported by Rolex, R&A Director of Rules and Equipment Standards David Rickman said: “The key point is that the Rules of Golf will remain fundamentally the same. We have undergone a pretty extensive review although what has come out of that has been relatively modest.

“The Rules of Golf are constantly evolving and our hope is that what we have produced for 2012 is clear, informed by common sense and reflective of the demands of the modern game.”

USGA Senior Director of Rules of Golf Thomas Pagel said: “We have produced a unified code of the Rules of Golf for 60 years and although the context has been the same, we often found the perception that there were different Rules in place depending upon where you were to play the game.

“Now the book will not only have the same content, but it will also be presented in a uniform fashion with similar formatting and covers; this will truly be a single code governing the Rules of the game that reflects the strong collaboration between The R&A and USGA.”

The most significant change (Rule 18-2b) will see an end to situations like the one witnessed during the final round of this year’s Open Championship when Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy was penalised when his ball was moved on the seventh green by the wind after he had addressed it.

Padraig Harrington, three-time Major winner and R&A-Working for Golf Ambassador, said: “I am delighted with the changes, in particular

the ball moving after address. Every time the wind blows I am worried that my ball is going to move and I am worried about grounding my putter, distracting me from trying to hole my putt.

“This change will speed up play, there won’t be as many suspensions and players won’t be getting penalised or disqualified unfairly. It is definitely giving us players a little bit of a break.”

There has been a unified code of golf since 1952 but until now The R&A and the USGA have published the same rules in separate editions, thereby giving the impression to some that the rules were different. However, this year sees identical publications with only some spellings and respective logos changing depending whether the edition serves the U.S. and Mexico or the rest of the world.

Golfing legend Arnold Palmer welcomed the announcement of a jointly published edition of the Rules. He said: “What has happened with The R&A and the USGA is wonderful. In the years I have been associated with the game and got to know The R&A and what their efforts are and having lived with the USGA all my life, one of the things I have always thought we should be closer together.”

Changes to the Rules of Amateur StatusFar Hills, N.J. – The most significant changes affecting amateur golfers in the United States include:

• Professionalism; Contracts and Agreements (New Rule 2-2(a)). An amateur golfer may now enter into a contract and/or agreement with his national golf union or association, provided the player does not obtain any financial gain, directly or indirectly, while still an amateur golfer.

• Professional Agents, Sponsors and Other Third Parties (New Rule 2-2(b)). An amateur golfer who is at least 18 years of age may enter into a contract and/or agreement with a third party solely in relation to the golfer’s future as a professional golfer, provided the player does not obtain any financial gain, directly or indirectly, and is not required to play in certain amateur or professional events, while still an amateur golfer.

• Subsistence Expenses (Rule 4-3). An amateur golfer may receive reasonable subsistence expenses, not exceeding actual costs, to assist with general living costs, provided the expenses are approved by and paid through the player’s national golf union or association.

“Those who will notice the biggest changes to the Rules of Amateur Status are the elite players who are preparing to turn professional,” said Thomas Pagel, the USGA’s senior director of the Rules of Golf. “We feel the changes we have made to the Rules will clarify and smooth the sometimes difficult transition these players undergo as they move from the amateur to professional ranks.”

The complete text of all changes to the Rules of Golf and to the Rules of Amateur Status may be found at www.usga.org, the website of the USGA, and at www.randa.org, the website of The R&A. Both websites also feature video summaries of the changes with commentary from USGA and R&A officials, as well as amateur and professional golfers.

Jim Ousley of Tippecanoe Country Club defeated the wind, rain, and 84 of his fellow PGA Professionals to take his second Pepsi Club Car Tournament Series victory April 11, 2011, at the season opener at The Sagamore Club. Starting out on the back nine under a constant drizzle, he managed a strong start of four pars, but jump-started his round at the 14th. After a solid drive and second shot, he holed-out an 85-yard pitch from over bunkers for eagle, which was only one of two eagles from the entire field. Four more pars allowed him to turn under par.

“But the highlight of the day was when I striped a 5-iron to three feet and made birdie on

9,” said Ousley. That birdie recovered his score after a bogey on 8. He finished the day with a 69, which was unmatched by the strong field of professionals anxious for the spring season to start.

Ousley’s first Tournament Series win came in 2009 in similar weather conditions at Broadmoor Country Club. Mike O’Toole of Riverside finished runner-up with 70, and defending champion Bill Schumaker of Crooked Lake finished third with a 71.

At only 5,900 yards, scores were expected to be low at Tippecanoe Lake Country Club for the second PGA Pepsi Club Car Tournament Series June 6, 2011, and over a third of the field finished even par or better. Five of those players fired 67’s to force a playoff for the championship that lasted four holes. The eventual champion, Chad Ayres of Hillcrest Golf & Country Club, was a little jittery when he finished, “I’m pretty

excited right now. That was my first win and the best I’ve ever done.” His personal best 3-under-par allowed him the opportunity to battle against Ousley, O’Toole, Chris Clemens of Southern Dunes Golf Course and Mike Ahlers of Pine Valley Country Club for his first title. “Playing against those guys makes it even better to win,” said Ayres.

Ayres even carded a bogey on his first hole of the day, but recovered throughout the official round and made a birdie to win the playoff. O’Toole was forced out on the first hole with a bogey, and Ahlers and Ousley bogeyed the second hole, leaving Ayres and Clemens. At the

third hole, Clemens stuck his tee shot to 5 feet, while Ayres pulled his left into the rough. A great up-and-down by Ayres put pressure on Clemens’ putt, which he missed, and they went to the fourth tee. This time Clemens pulled his shot left into the trees. Ayres’ drive was less than 10 yards short of the green, and another up and down gave him a birdie and the win.

With an old, tried and true putter back in his bag that helped him get his last win in 2009, Dave Pugh of Mystic Hills fired 34-33=67 and won the final Pepsi Club Car Tournament Series of the year held

at Purgatory Golf Club. “I just switched back to the same putter that I used to win in 2008 and ’09 – a short putter,” explained Pugh, who tried a long putter for a while in between. “Most of my birdies were from within six feet today, but I made a long putt on 17, too.” Along with the putter, his caddie successfully assisted on the greens. “Kevin and I were seeing the same line. Every putt today that we read we both pointed to the exact same spot,” said Pugh.

Both he and his caddie are very familiar with the host course. “I had a good finish in the State Open when it was here. It’s a good golf course for me since I hit it a long way and there is a lot of room out there. I can spread it around a little,” he said. “I drove it really well and didn’t have much yardage in on most holes. I had a lot of wedges in my hand.”

Pugh’s 67 finished just one shot better than Ahlers and Jamie Broce of Indiana University Golf Course who finished in second with 68’s.

Playing together nearly every day has its advantages when it comes to team competitions, and it certainly worked out for Sam Till, Jr. and Marty Rifkin April 17-18, 2011, at the IGA Mid Amateur Team. Both Fort Wayne residents, Till and Rifkin play together regularly at their home course of Sycamore Hills Golf Club. That familiarity combined with Till’s success and experience at the host course, Pine Valley Country Club, made them unstoppable. “We really played good team golf,” said Rifkin. “And it’s always fun to play with Sam because he’s so good.” The twosome carded a one-over 72 in the best ball format to combine with their even par in the first round alternate shot format. Due to tough winds and challenging greens, no team was able to break par either day. Till and Rifkin won by one stroke over Gordie Rees and Craig Scheibert and the team of Brooks Snyder and Rick Himes.

Although Till is now a member at Sycamore Hills with Rifkin, he spent 10 years at Pine Valley and won several tournaments while he was a member. “I’m very comfortable out here,” he said. “I’ve always liked this place, and I’ve posted some low scores.” Till won a senior club championship title and the 2009 Indiana PGA Senior Open, and finished runner-up at the 2008 Mid Amateur all at Pine Valley.

Returning to the IGA scene after at least seven years away, former Purdue teammates Ryan Chalfant and Matt Maudlin signed up for the IGA Four Ball May 20-21, 2011, simply to enjoy a little team competition again. “We just came to have a good time. This is awesome!” said Chalfant about their first IGA win. For just coming to have a good time, shooting 12-under 67-65=132 in rough that frustrated even the strongest players and defeating a veteran field was quite

impressive. After all the rain that the host course, Hillview Country Club, had received, Chalfant spoke for the field when he said, “that course is fun, but that rough was unbelievable. You were just happy to advance it. That is if you found it.”

Another team who successfully fought their way through the rough to challenge Chalfant and Maudlin was the team of Bob Stephens and Jim Schwark, who know each other through another sport - cycling. They held the lead after firing 64 in the first round and kept an advantage over the field until the very end. Maudlin and Chalfant made three birdies in the last four holes to make a run at the championship and put pressure on Stephens and Schwark. Stephens was able to make birdie at the 17th to stay in the running and had a makeable putt at 18 for the win. Instead, his par forced a playoff that lasted three holes before Maudlin’s par ended it.

The father-son team of Jay and Brad Gehl finished third with 66-67=133.

With seven birdies and a round of 64 at her parents’ course, Martinsville Golf Club, Julie Carmichael added the Women’s Team Championship to her list of career victories with teammate Courtney Cole. “We just played really well,” said an excited Carmichael. “We made seven birdies and nothing bad.” A 5-under-par 31 on the back nine extended their lead to two shots over the field in the four ball stroke play event held June 2, 2011. Carmichael has also won the State Amateur, State Open, and Mid Amateur championships and is a member of the Indiana Golf Hall of Fame.

Tobi Herron and Taylor Gohn as well as the team of Breanna Patz and Kaylee Imel tied for second place by firing 66.

Hayden Makes Second Comeback at Tournament of Champions

For the second time since 2009, Joe Hayden made his move on the back nine to win the Tournament of Champions at Fox Prairie Golf Course. Hayden won the 2008 Coyote Creek Club Championship in Fort Wayne to qualify for the IGA tournament, and guaranteed his eligibility forever with his 2009 victory. He has since added two more club championships and another Tournament of Champions title to his name. “There are some really good players there, but it just seems to fit my game,” he said of his home course, Coyote Creek.

In 2009, Hayden opened the tournament with a 69 to sit in second heading into the final round. This year, he shot a respectable even par 71 the first day, which put him in fourth and in the second-to-last group away from the leaders. “I’d almost

rather be in the second or third to last group because there is no pressure at all,” he explained. “I bogeyed 1, and that took the edge off so I was pretty comfortable the rest of the day.” While he did check the leaderboard on occasion throughout the round, he was unaware of how the leaders stood after 15 when he started to make his move.

Four-time champion Randy Nichols led after his first round 69 and held his lead throughout the entire second round until hole 17. At 15, Hayden birdied the short par-4 to tie things up at 1-under with Nichols. At the 17th, Hayden sealed up his victory with another birdie. “It was straight down wind, so I hit a stinger 3-iron and had 177 in. That’s a perfect yardage for me, so I hit a 7-iron to about 15 feet and had a pretty straight-forward putt,” he said. That birdie took him to 2-under and caused the first lead change of the tournament. Nichols took a par at 17 to stay 1-under, and co-runner-up Joe Mahurin also made a run for it at 17 when he made a 5-foot birdie putt to keep himself in the game at 1-under.

At 18, Hayden just missed another birdie opportunity. “I missed a 7-foot birdie putt and tapped in for par. It was an easy putt but I put a terrible stroke on it because I didn’t want to blow it by,” he said. That miss opened the door for Nichols or Mahurin to force a playoff. Both competitors landed their approaches within 20 feet of the final hole with makeable putts. Unfortunately for them neither putt dropped and Hayden claimed the championship. Hayden finished 71-69=140, and Nichols and Mahurin finished at 69-72=141.

Rowen Wins Mid Am in a Playoff and Gets Second

IGA Win in a WeekOpening with a birdie to start the final round of the IGA Mid Amateur, Sean Rowen was off to a strong start at Tippecanoe Lake Country Club August 12, 2011. He began the day at 3-under after his opening round 67 and one shot behind leader David Moore. Rowen made two more birdies with one-putts at 4 and 6 before 3-putting the 9th green to turn 5-under for the tournament and one ahead of eventual runner-up Sam Till.

Rowen hit a 6-iron on his approach to 11, missing by a mere three inches to record another birdie. His final birdie came at the 12th when he hit a sand wedge to 7-feet and made the putt. He maintained the top position for the rest of the day, but almost lost his lead when he chunked two shots at 15 for a double bogey. And it was a bogey at the 18th that put him 4-under total and forced a playoff with Till. “It was an up and down day. I was in pretty good position for a while but had a rough stretch coming in,” explained Sean. “Sam played well coming in and put pressure on me to get in a playoff.” But a repeat birdie on hole no. 1 won him his second IGA event of the week. Rowen also won the Indianapolis Amateur Aug. 6-7 with rounds of 66-69=135 at Sahm Golf Course. “They are two very similar courses and a lot of fun to play,” he said. “You can play them a lot of different ways.”

One similarity Sahm and Tippecanoe Lake share is their short distance and emphasis on placement, which posed a challenge for the champion who can drive the ball over 300 yards. For Rowen and other long-hitters, Tippecanoe Lake can be pretty tricky with a driver in hand. “You can find yourself at a lot of awkward yardages. I took the driver out of my hand a lot to keep myself at full-swing yardages. I’d rather have a full sand wedge in than a half shot,” he explained.

But it was a long, down-wind drive in the playoff that put him only 163 yards out on the 483-yard, par-5 hole. Rowen selected 8-iron for his approach and stuck it to 10-feet. Meanwhile, Till safely hit a 3-wood off the tee to the middle of the fairway and landed his approach just short left of the green. Till’s first putt was only a couple feet short, but he was unable to convert the birdie. Rowen’s two-putt birdie secured his victory.

Griffing’s Steady Play Wins Senior OpenDespite a brief hail delay that postponed his winning three-foot putt, Quinn Griffing battled back from a three shot deficit behind Bill Schumaker to win the Indiana PGA Senior Open at Harbour Trees Golf Club May 9-10, 2011. Griffing carded a 71-70=141. “I scrambled well today with my chipping and putting which nullified poor shots off the tee.”

Schumaker fired a first round 68 to have a three shot lead heading into the final day, and held on to his lead until the 13th hole. At 13, Griffing’s birdie took him to two-down along with Schumaker. At the 14th, a three-putt by Schumaker gave Griffing his first lead of the day. The 16th changed the game though. While Griffing’s bogey moved him back to 1-under, Schumaker’s double-bogey moved him to over par for the first time in the championship.

“At 16 I forgot how much that tree in the fairway comes into play,” Griffing explained. His approach flew over the green, and he was unable to convert the up-and-down. Schumaker finished with a 76 which was good enough for 4th. Between the two, also in contention

throughout the day, were amateurs Randy Nichols (72-70=142) and Tim Miller (71-72-143). Nichols sank a long putt at the 18th to finish even for the tournament and put pressure on Griffing’s 3-footer to avoid a playoff.

This was not at all the first time that Griffing and Schumaker have fought for a title. Since 2008 when Griffing entered the senior ranks, the two have gone back and forth at senior championships and in the player of the year rankings. In 2008, Griffing found victory at the Senior Professional Championship, and Schumaker was close behind in 3rd. In 2009, Schumaker avenged his defeat and won the Senior Championship, sending Griffing home with second place. At the end of that tournament, Schumaker had almost clinched Senior Player of the Year for the ninth time. But Griffing’s national performance earned him the extra 25 points he needed to edge out Schumaker by only 20 points – 1,125 to 1,105. This Senior Open title for Griffing adds him to a past champions list where you can also find Schumaker listed twice.

Indy Open Confidence Booster for Steger

Eric Steger’s initial intention heading to the E-Z-GO Indianapolis Open presented by TLC May 16-17, 2011, was just to get in some competitive practice before competing as an individual at the NCAA Regionals at Wolf Run Golf Club the following week. “I played in this to get some golf in before Regionals,” said Steger. “I expected to compete, but I played better than I thought I would.”

He also played better – at least seven shots better – than the rest of the field. His rounds of 68-69=137 made him the only player to finish under par. Professionals Chad Ayres and Dave Pugh shared second place by finishing at even par for the tournament. “Having a two shot cushion heading into the final day was nice, but these guys are good enough that two shots can be made up easily,” explained Steger. “But it was colder and played tougher.” The cold, wind and rain made it a tough day for low scores, but Steger made it happen to extend his initial lead.

Steger has won the IGA Public Links, Match Play and State Amateur, but this is his first open win with the pros. And it was good experience for him since he turned professional himself later in the summer at the Indiana Open. He graduated from Ball State May 7, 2011. “It is awesome to have no more school and be able to focus just on golf,” he said. “It was always fun to be around the team, but it’s definitely time to focus on my own game.”

Duncan Takes Advantage of Rescheduled Southern Open

Having to reschedule a major championship isn’t usually met with a lot of positive reactions. It’s another day off work for the players, another day for the host course to be closed for play, and another day to wedge in the already full summer schedule for the IGA-PGA staff. But for this year’s Indiana PGA Southern Open Championship presented by TaylorMade, rescheduling the championship allowed amateur Tyler Duncan a chance to compete, and he certainly made the most of it. Duncan fired a 4-under-par 68 to win by two shots over Adam Marshall, Brad Mays, Brett Melton, Lee Crannell (a), and Matt Holda, as well as the rest of the field of 150.

Originally, the Southern Open was scheduled for May 2, 2011, but the torrential downpours that characterized the months of April and May left Covered Bridge Golf Club (and most courses in Indiana) in unplayable shape that day. April and May also meant the NCAA tournament for Duncan, a member of Purdue’s golf team. His team’s performance throughout the 2010-11 season took them to Regionals in Tucson, Ariz., and initially kept him from registering for the Southern. However, despite a stellar even-par performance at Tucson National Golf Club and a T23rd finish overall, he nor his team advanced to Nationals, which allowed him to register for the rescheduled Southern Open May 31 in place of a player who could not compete on the new date.

Everything just seemed to fall into place. “I just had one of my best ball striking days in a while,” said Duncan. “I didn’t really ever get the putter rolling, but I made some when I needed to.” Solid play allowed him to make four birdies and no bogeys in the mid-90 degree heat that only got hotter as the day progressed. “I kind of thought I had an advantage playing in the morning wave,” he said.

Duncan’s surely not complaining about any weather conditions. It’s unpleasant weather that got him in the field in the first place.

2011 - 2012 Annual 35

A comeback round of 1-under 71 by Meghan Potee at Heartland Crossing June 28, 2011, earned her the Pepsi Indiana Women’s Open title and her first major victory since winning Girls’ High School State Finals in 2010. The sophomore at Kansas signed up for the event to keep her game strong though the summer. “I play in a lot of local events during the summer to keep motivated, and tournament rounds are the best practice,” said Potee. Although, she didn’t get a lot of other practice in due to a shoulder injury.

But the troublesome shoulder and lack of recent practice didn’t seem to bother her. Potee carded a 74 the first day to stay within 2 shots of the lead held by Julia Potter after 18 holes. With Potee in the second-to-last group of the day in front of the leaders, she admitted she was curious how they were doing. “We were all so close together, I knew I needed to shoot around even par to stay in it and have a chance,” she said. “I was curious though the whole round and trying to look back and watch that final group. We asked our parents to see how they were doing. But it wouldn’t really have mattered too much.”

Despite her curiosity, Potee stuck to her own game and fired a 71 - the only subpar round of the championship. “I made a bad bogey on 3, but I birdied the next hole. And at 18 I had a really good drive and hit a 5-wood from 177 out to about five feet and made the putt for birdie to finish under par.”

Professionals Julia Potter and Junthima Gulyanamitta finished tied in second at 147. This tournament marked the end of Potter’s professional golfing career. She played on the Futures Tour in 2010 and was able to make several cuts. And this Open marked the beginning of Gulyanamitta’s professional career. She found success at Purdue University and decided to try her game in the professional realm.

McMillen Wins Public Links in a PlayoffRelentless rain plagued northern Indiana June 10, 2011, causing the final round of the Public Links Championship at Rozella Ford to be canceled. The three players who fired 70’s during the first round - John McMillen, Brooks Snyder and Randy Nichols, waited for the skies to clear and headed out for a playoff to decide the winner.

All three players were on the green in two at the par-4, 18th, but Snyder stuck his approach to four feet for the advantage over the others who left themselves long putts. Nichols two-putted, and then it was McMillen’s turn. With a stroke of confidence he sunk his 18-footer and put the pressure on Snyder. Snyder couldn’t convert the birdie to continue the playoff, and McMillen got his first IGA tournament win. “That was fun and kind of exciting!” said McMillen, a senior at IPFW. “Mr. Nichols and Mr. Snyder are awesome players. People know their names, so I was just happy to be in [the playoff].”

McMillen lives a short drive away from Warsaw in Peru, so he has played in many State Open qualifiers at Rozella Ford, but his success hasn’t been the same in those events. “I usually play in the Open qualifier here and never get out. I’m just glad to not shoot 80 here,” explained McMillen, who actually chose a different qualifying site in 2011, but still has respect and fondness for Rozella. “It is in great shape for how much rain they have gotten and the staff always does a nice job.”

Tied in third were Ryan Myers, Tracy Miller and Brian Green at 71.

Exciting Finish at Inaugural PGA Four Ball

The inaugural Indiana PGA Four Ball match play championship that began in the spring concluded with an exciting finish September 7, 2011, at Meridian Hills Country Club. The season-long tournament began with 32 two-man teams from around Indiana competing in a random-draw bracket. After defeating teams in the first four rounds of match play, the team of Jeff Schultz and John DalCorobbo met the team of Chris Clemens and Jamie Broce in the finals. DalCorobbo and Schulz defeated the father-son team of Ryan and Denny Ford 4 & 2 in the semi-finals, and Clemens and Broce defeated Jim Ousley and Cary Hungate 2 & 1 to advance.

Throughout the front nine of the finals, DalCorobbo and Schultz held on to a steady 1 up lead, but Clemens and Broce battled on the back. At the 17th tee, Clemens and Broce had the advantage of being 1 up with only two to play. DalCorobbo hit his approach shot to the 17th green to a mere four feet for a great chance at birdie to keep his team alive. But as he had done all day, Broce made a long putt for birdie to keep his team on top. They halved the hole and headed to 18. This time Schultz stepped up and birdied the finishing par-5 to send the match to extra holes.

In the extended match at the 19th hole, Schultz made a 50-foot birdie putt to capture the first Indiana PGA Four Ball.

Cain Defeats Thompson in 19 Holes at Women’s Match Play

The final match of the 2011 Women’s Match Play at Prairie View June 15, 2011, between 6-seed KC Cain and 8-seed Amy Thompson was a close one down all the way to the extra 19th hole where Cain eventually won.

Neither player went more than one up until the back nine when Thompson followed an eagle on nine up with a birdie on 10. But at the end, at 16 and 17, Cain made a comeback to square up the match heading to 18. Both players played it conservative at the final par-5, and both took pars to force extra holes.

Cain is a member of the IU women’s team and Thompson is a member of UIndy’s squad.

Stephens Win IGA Match Play Final 3 & 2After University of Oklahoma junior Brad Gehl fired a 63 in the stroke play qualifier for the IGA Match Play at Wood Wind Golf Club July 26, 2011, most assumed it would be another collegiate shootout. After qualifying scores and the past success of collegiate players in the Match Play, it was a surprise to have a final match that featured two senior players, Skip Runnels of Richmond and Bob Stephens of Indianapolis.

Stephens came out on top with a 3 & 2 victory over Runnels. “It was a good week,” said Stephens. “I played decent in the qualifier and stayed around par in all my matches.” Stephens, an eight seed, bested number one seed Gehl in the semi-finals to earn his spot in the championship match. Leading Runnels 4 up after nine holes, Stephens gave back holes 10 and 12 with missed approach shots. Stephens and Runnels took holes 13 and 14, respectively, before Stephens closed out the match on 16 with a par. “Match play is a different beast,” Stephens said. “A lot of pars and you will do well.”

Duncan Wins State Amateur in Front of

Hometown FansWith one of the largest spectator crowds ever at an IGA event intently following, Columbus’ Tyler Duncan pleased his hometown fans by winning his first Indiana State Amateur Championship at his home course, Otter Creek Golf Course June 23, 2011. “It was great winning in front of everyone,” said Duncan. “Their cheering and support was great.” The numerous fans who followed him around all day expected the victory, as he had a five-shot lead at the turn. But McCormick Clouser made a run at it on the front nine, making three birdies to get down to 1-over while Duncan was hanging on to 4-under.

Duncan started the day with the lead at 70-67-75=212 (-4). He managed even par for the front, but the very beginning of the round didn’t look promising. A pulled drive off the first tee into the trees was followed by a missed short birdie putt on 2. “I played solid on the front nine, except for my putt on 2. But I was committed to not doing that again.” And he didn’t. At the 5th hole, he sunk a 15-footer for his first birdie of the day. And on the back nine at the 12th he dropped a 20-foot putt for his only birdie on the back.

Clouser made one more birdie on the back to finish even for the championship with rounds of 69-76-74-69=288. As he signed his scorecard, Duncan stepped up to the 18th tee with a 2-shot lead. His approach shot got caught in the rough and stayed short of the green. In reference to his chip, Duncan said, “I was trying to make it, you are always trying to make it, but I didn’t want it to go too far by and leave myself a tester on the way back.” He easily 2-putted for the victory. “This was one of the tournaments I wanted to win the most,” he said graciously.

Following checking this event off his list of ‘to-win’s’, he returned to Purdue for one more year of collegiate golf. After that? “I do plan to play professional golf one day.”

If he follows through with his plan to play professional golf, he will forego the opportunity to join the legendary ranks of Randy Nichols and Kent Frandsen, whose accomplishments were also celebrated at this State Amateur. For Nichols, 2011 marked his 40th consecutive cut made at a State Amateur. “That is awesome! I have played with Randy a couple times. That is just a lot of times in this event,” said Duncan.

And for Frandsen, 2011’s championship at Otter Creek marked the 37th anniversary of when he set the tournament record at this very same course in 1974 that still stands today. He also won two more in 1979 and 1984. Longtime fellow competitor Skip Runnels said, “He was the standard by which we all compared ourselves and for the most part none of us were very successful. I remember following his final day groupings during his wins at the State Am and I was always awed by his ability. He never missed fairways, never missed greens and during his record breaking win never missed putts. He always seemed in control of his emotions and always conducted himself with high character.”

Finishing third was Corey Ziedonis (71-72-73-74) and in fourth was Adam Schenk (74-72-71-74). Tyler Merkel (71-73-75-73), Aaron Monson (69-75-73-75) and Tony Lazzara (68-72-74-78) finished tied in fifth.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIPS

DalCorobbo Defeats Foster in Playoff to Earn Second Professional Championship

Sixteen players fired subpar rounds to start the Indiana PGA Professional Championship August 15, 2011. With so many low scores, Ivan Foster’s 5-over 76 seemed out of contention. But he proved that assumption very wrong by shooting 64 and 65 to make his way to 8-under overall and force a playoff with John DalCorobbo, who carded 71-66-68=205 (-8).

DalCorobbo began the final round at 5-under and only one shot back off the leaders David Von Hoffmann and Jeff Marsh, and his steady play throughout the day allowed him to gradually fight his way into the lead. A 4-foot putt on the 4th green took him to 6-under, and another short putt at 9 allowed him to turn 7-under. “All in all I only missed one green all day,” explained DalCorobbo. “I’m very happy with how I hit it. To prepare and perform and be able to execute it was great.” His execution of approach shots gave him many opportunities

at birdie and kept him from having to make any saves for par or to avoid costly bogeys.

His steady play and opportunities to make birdies became even more crucial once Foster started making his move. By the turn, Foster was 6-under, and by 12 he was 8-under. At 17, a 7-under DalCorobbo knew Foster was in the clubhouse at 8-under. Once again, John executed a beautiful shot at the par-3, 17th to stick it to seven feet. He sunk the putt and headed to the par-5, 18th with confidence.

The 18th tee was playing directly into the wind, making going for the green in 2 challenging. DalCorobbo’s drive landed in the right rough but fortunately short of the water’s edge. His lie and distance forced him to take the safe play into the fairway on his second shot. Despite an opportunity to make birdie and end the championship right there, a par forced a playoff with Foster.

On the second hole of the playoff, DalCorobbo once again hit a precise iron shot to within seven feet of the flag. Foster left himself a 30-footer. Knowing how makeable his opponent’s putt was, Foster was determined not to leave it short; the ball hit the hole with some speed and popped out a foot away. DalCorobbo made the clutch putt to earn his second PGA Professional Championship (2007). “The putt was virtually straight. I just told myself to roll it like I was a kid again like my son Camden who doesn’t focus on technique. I just tried to put it on the line and with the speed,” he said. “It’s great to be a two-time winner of this event. To be recognized as the best player in the Section is a tremendous honor.”

He also advances to the 2012 National Professional Championship, which will be his 13th appearance at the national level. Indiana was awarded 5 spots in the National event. Tim Frazier, Quinn Griffing and Bill Pollert will join DalCorobbo and Foster at the 2012 championship.

Griffing to Make Fourth Straight Appearance at National Senior

For the second time since he became eligible for the Indiana Senior Professional Championship in 2008, Quinn Griffing of The Donald Ross Course in Fort Wayne has claimed victory. His 2011 win at Delaware Country Club qualified him for his fourth straight National Senior Professional Championship held October 6-9, 2011, at Creighton Farms in Aldie, Virginia, and River Creek Club in Leesburg, Virginia, where he posted 79-70-81-74—304.

“I hit the ball better,” said Griffing, who fired 66 in the final round, one shot better than the first day. He stuck approaches close and putted well to difficult hole locations. At the 16th, he rolled in a 25-foot putt for birdie to advance his lead to three with only two holes to play. That birdie followed a chip-in eagle at the 11th when he took the tournament lead over from Bill Schumaker.

The other three seniors from Indiana who joined Griffing at the National Championship were Schumaker (65-71=136), David Carich (70-68=138), and Dean Prange (74-68=142).

Shadday Two-Time Assistant Champion

“I love playing at nationals,” said an excited Blair Shadday from Purgatory GC, the 2011 Callaway Golf PGA Assistant Championship winner and national qualifier. “I’m gonna go have some fun.” He also had a lot of fun shooting 69-68-69=206 at Woodland CC August 1-2, 2011, to beat out fellow Assistant from IU Jamie Broce for the second time. The first time was in 2009 when Shadday got his first title. This time his win came after completing all 54 holes instead of calling the tournament short due to rain. “It’s great to putt out on the last hole for the win rather than winning by a rain cancellation!” said Shadday.

“Jamie played great today. I just made a couple putts that got me going.” The putts he made earned him back-to-back birdies at the 13th and 14th greens to move from one down to two up on Broce. Shadday started the day two shots up on Broce, but Jamie caught him by the turn after making a birdie at the par-3 8th.

They battled back and forth on the back nine, but after his consecutive birdies, Shadday never looked back. “I had a two shot lead with four to play. I played a lot more comfortable after that,” he said. A lucky break at 17 also added to his comfort level stepping up to the last tee box that looked out over a big pond to the right. At the par-3, 17, he yanked his iron shot left, but the ball kicked off a tree root just right and on to the green. “What a break! I couldn’t believe it. But I’ll take it,” said Shadday. “I had been fighting the pulls all day.”

He made par, and followed it up with another par for the win. Broce fought to the end and made one final birdie to shoot 69-70-68=207. His runner-up finish still allowed him to advance to the national competition in Port St. Lucie in November, along with Jacob Murray of Harrison Lake CC, who had a hole-in-one at hole 8, and Adam Marshall of French Lick Resorts.

Maurer Holds Off Defending Champion Wright to Win Indiana

OpenWalking to the 12th tee with a four shot lead in the final round of the Indiana State Open July 14, 2011, Brian Maurer’s game plan was to let the field try to catch him. Unfortunately, defending champion Chase Wright of Bloomington did.

“I had a lot of momentum coming off birdies on holes 9 and 10,” said Maurer. “I was hitting the ball well but I just couldn’t get the putts to fall.”

Bogeying three of the last four holes, Maurer found himself in a play-off for the second time in a few weeks.

“I had to win a play-off at the John Deere Classic Qualifier to earn a spot in the tournament,” said Maurer. “It’s been really emotional.”

A short par putt on the second play-off hole earned Maurer the victory. “Chase did a fantastic job,” said Maurer. “He is a great young player.” Wright is a member of the Indiana University men’s golf team.

A Richmond native and 2009 Ball State graduate, Maurer was competing in his sixth Indiana State Open and third as a professional. Growing up, Maurer dreamt of winning the Indiana State Amateur. Now as a professional, Maurer had set his sights on the State Open.

“It’s really hard to put into words,” said Maurer. “Awesome.”

With his runner-up finish, Wright secured low amateur honors. PGA Professionals David Carich and Quinn Griffing tied for low Club Professional.

O’Brien Surges in Final Round to Capture Title

Kristi O’Brien knows a leaderboard can change drastically over the

course of 18 holes. Entering the final round of the Indiana Women’s

Amateur at The Fort Golf Course July 27, 2011, O’Brien of Fort

Wayne was two shots back from Emily Podzielinski of Noblesville.

Remembering the 2010 Fort Wayne City Amateur where she began

the final round well back of the leaders, O’Brien fired a 64 to

capture the first of back-to-back Fort Wayne City titles.

History repeated itself in the final round of 2011 Indiana Women’s

State Amateur. O’Brien caught Podzielinksi on hole 10 and never

looked back.

“The final round of the Fort Wayne City made me feel comfortable

coming into the final round,” said O’Brien. “Anything can happen

in 18 holes.”

O’Brien credits a better mindset for her solid play.

Also of note, 12 year old Haylen Harris of Carmel fired a final

round 77 and survived a two hole playoff to win the fifth flight.

Anthony Celebrates Second Senior Amateur

VictoryAt the 17th green at Harrison Lake Country Club during the final round of the Senior Amateur Championship August 23, 2011, Jim Anthony’s putter failed him. A three-putt bogey caused him to give up the lead he had held since hole 11. He began the day at 2-under after an opening round 70 and turned 2-under. That bogey moved him down to 1-under heading to 18 tee.

He knew Mike Cline was already in the clubhouse at 1-under (73-70=143) and not creating a birdie opportunity on the final par-5 could lead to a playoff. “I was driving the ball well. I felt confident out there,” said Anthony. “I knew if I could get my drive in the fairway and lay my second shot up in the fairway I had a shot. I’ve played here enough to know that landing the ball above the hole on that green leaves you a questionable two-putt.” He listened to his own advice and took the conservative approach of laying up in the fairway. His third shot avoided a downhill putt and landed almost exactly pin-high, but spin sent it back to the fringe 18-feet away. A two-putt par tied him with Cline at 1-under.

Unfortunately for Cline, he had to leave immediately after finishing his round and was unable to stay for the potential playoff, making Anthony a two-time Senior Am Champion. Terry Werner, Randy Nichols, Sam Till, and Dave Williamson all finished tied in second at even 144.

In the inaugural Super Senior Amateur Championship, Steve Paquin fired a second round 75 to add to his opening 76 and win by four shots over Jerry Jackson. The Super Senior competition was created in 2011 for players over age 65 to play from a shorter set of tees.

Broce and Clemens Team Up to Win PGA TeamFinishing only one shot behind the leaders last year in the Callaway PGA Team motivated Jamie Broce and Chris Clemens to go low and win this year by two. Their round of 59 (11-under) at Kokomo Country Club September 27, 2011, gave them the victory over 2008 Team champions Denny and Ryan Ford. Over the past two years of teaming up together for Indiana PGA team events, they have developed a friendship and an ability to compete at a high level together. “I was out of the hole three times and he made birdie on those holes,” said Broce. “We made a ton of putts, it was a lot of fun.” Clemens added, “He’s a blast to play with. I always enjoy it.”

Heavy rains forced a cancellation of the first round and shortened the final tournament of the year to 18 holes.

An important side note – this PGA Team marked the end of the very successful and storied competitive golfing career of Jim Ferriell. He teamed up with Gary Gant for his last competitive golf tournament.

Whalen Captures First Mid Am and Senior Division

Nina Whalen putted her way to her first Mid Am victory at Brickyard Crossing August 8, 2011. “It was an exceptional putting week,” she said. “I made a change to my putting stroke a couple weeks ago and it has really paid off.” It paid off in the way of only 24 putts during the first round for an even-par 72 to start. She finished with a 75 and 147 total to win by three over Julie Carmichael and Cara Stuckey.

Whalen finished runner-up in this event in 2009 at French Lick’s Donald Ross Course and has qualified for four US Mid Am Championships, but this is the first time she was able to defeat the 25-and-older field in Indiana.

After 18 holes, the field was flighted. Fight winners were:

First - Jen TuttleSecond - Andrea JohnsonThird - Bonnie Wohlford Fourth - Michelle Mills

In 2011 a Senior Division was added to this event. Whalen took first in that as well, followed by Carla Windisch and then Joan Belschwender.

2011 - 2012 Annual 43

Till Fires 66, Widner Gets First WinWith an impressive 7-under 30 on the back nine and the tournament’s low round of 66, Sam Till won his Senior Amateur division of the Pepsi Indiana Golf Championships by a clear lead of three shots at Broadmoor Country Club September 20, 2011. His two bogeys on the front were negated when he eagled the par-5, 12th hole following a birdie at the par-3 11th. “I made eagle and still couldn’t get the honors on the tee!” joked Larry Nicolet, who was paired with Till. Till explained that he was able to hit everything close all day long, hardly leaving himself any difficult putts for birdie or par.

The next best score overall was a 68 by PGA Professional Fred Mattingly, who won his PGA division. And Bill Schumaker took the Senior PGA division with a 71.

The only division that called for a playoff to decide the champion was the IGA Amateurs. Brett Widner and Joe Mahurin both fired

rounds of 71. Back at the first tee for the playoff, Widner striped his drive down the middle of the fairway, while Mahurin pulled his a little left into the rough. Widner stuck his approach to 8-feet past the hole on the green, but Mahurin had a tough shot at the green and missed short left. Despite a great chip to a mere foot, Widner made his birdie putt and celebrated his first IGA-PGA win ever. “I’ve been playing really, really well lately,” he explained. “I’m very happy.” And he has been playing well – he has finished runner-up in three recent IGA events: the McDonald’s Series #3 and #4 and the IGA Team.

The Pepsi Golf Championships is an invitational for the highest point winners from the current IGA-PGA season. The first round was rained out and the championship was shortened to 18 holes.

2011-2012Annual44

Wood Claims Boys State JuniorAdam Wood of Zionsville became the 86th Indiana Boys State Junior Champion with a 2 & 1 victory over Tom Kocks of Fort Wayne at Purdue University’s Kampen GC. Wood claimed both medalist and match play titles, becoming the fifth player in history and the first since 1997 to accomplish the feat.

Headed to the fourth hole, with Kocks 1 up, Wood dumped his driver into the left side fairway bunker and proceeded to hit his second shot in the tall fescue grass well short of the green. His third flew the green, where he was forced to take an uplayable ball. Finally on the green in six, Wood conceded the hole, giving Kocks a 2 up advantage.

“Match play is different in that one hole is one hole,” said Wood. “You can make a really high number or a really low number and it doesn’t matter much. I tried to go back to my fundamentals and move on to the next hole.” Wood regrouped and hit a beautiful tee shot hole high on the par-3 5th, where both players made par and Wood was able to right the ship.

Two holes later, Wood drove the green on the short par-4 seventh while Kocks’ drive leaked left and found the first cut of rough, 25 yards from the green. Wood’s eagle putt missed just left, but he tapped in his first birdie of the day cutting the deficit in half.

“I didn’t make any birdies and I don’t like not making birdies,” said Wood. “After getting that first birdie at seven, I realized that there were birdies out there to be made. I finally executed a hole like I wanted to and I started playing more aggressively.”

Following the birdie on seven, Wood birdied three of the next four holes, including one that was matched by Kocks at the eighth, a conceded birdie when he reached the par-5 10th in two and one more on the 11th, which gave him his first lead of the match. However, Kocks would respond to the run with steady play, making pars at the 13th and 14th to win both holes and regain a 1 up lead.

The 15th hole became pivotal, as Wood nearly holed his shot from the fairway for eagle. Although he missed the birdie putt, Wood won the hole when Kocks made bogey and the match was back to all square. On the ensuing par-5 16th, Wood knocked his second shot over the green. With a tight lie and a lone tree directly between his ball and the hole, Wood hit a remarkable shot to six feet and this time converted the birdie chance to go 1 up. “I was keeping the ball on-line, there were just some misreads on those short par putts,” said Wood. “I knew if I kept them on line eventually they would drop.”

Now leading 1 up on the difficult par-3 17th, Wood managed to get his tee shot onto the putting surface, while Kocks missed left of the green away from the water hazard. With Kocks unable to get up and down, Wood two-putted for par and claimed the 86th Indiana Boys State Junior Championship 2&1.

Wood dominated the week starting with 68-68-136 to take stroke play medalist honors by six shots and wrapped it up with match play victories where he never played the 18th hole. Wood’s dual victories put him on a short list with Chris Smith, Bo Van Pelt, Jim Sudac and Chad Collins as the only players to claim both honors in the same year.

With several prestigious titles on his resume, Wood put his State Junior title near the top. “This was always an event I would love to win,” said Wood. “I love the tournament format because it has both stroke play and match play. Some really great players have won this event and I am very pleased to be a part of the group of past winners.”

Top Seeds Battle at Girls State Junior

With the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds making their way through the bracket to the finals for the first time in recent memory, it came as no surprise that the Championship match at the Girls State Junior was a battle. Second seed Kayla Katterhenry of Newburgh and top seed Katie Sharp of Kendallville went back and forth all day at Harrison Hills G&CC before Katterhenry eventually prevailed 1 up. “I just tried to take it one shot at a time out there,” said Katterhenry. “I told myself to play my game and not focus on her shots.” The strategy worked for the rising junior, who earned her first championship victory. “I want to come back next year and try to defend my title,” she explained.

Katterhenry was the first player to make a move, leading 2 up through the first two holes. However, a nice run by Sharp had her standing on the seventh tee leading 1 up. The match continued to go back and forth, with only four holes being halved all round. With the match All Square at the par-3 17th, Katterhenry’s tee shot bounced over the green into the rough, while Sharp was short in the rough with a steep uphill lie. Katterhenry managed to convert her up and down, while Sharp missed a par putt making Katterhenry dormie headed to the 18th hole. With Sharp missing a long birdie putt at the last, Katterhenry made par making her the 61st Indiana Girls State Junior Champion.

Other flight winners at the Girls State Junior Championship included; Molly Ward, Indianapolis, Regan Pittard, Lafayette, Heather Gladfelter, Goshen, Marissa Kroeger, Chesterton, Kovenant Lingenfelter, Rochester and Megan Little, Noblesville.

2011 - 2012 Annual 45

Wood and Sharp Win Hoosier JuniorGreat playing by Colin Proctor of Anderson and Adam Wood of Zionsville led to a playoff at the Hoosier Junior Championship at Otter Creek October 16, 2011. Proctor shot 72-72 and Wood fired 69 in the final round, which added to his 75 was enough to catch Proctor. In the playoff, Proctor flared his approach left while Wood hit the green for a birdie opportunity. Wood eventually made his 4-foot putt for par and the win. “Colin’s a great player and we’ve crossed paths many times before. Today I just got a few putts to go in the hole and had a good ball striking day,” said Wood, who managed the gusting wind well. “I go to the range with friends, and we practice controlling it in the wind. Over time you get experience with how to manage it.” Wood has also won the Boys State Junior as well as an AJGA championship, and Proctor is also a former Boys State Junior champion.

With this victory, Wood clinched the honor of being named the 2011 Pepsi Indiana Junior Golf Program Boys Player of the Year. He was recognized October 20 at the Indiana Golf Hall of Fame banquet at

Meridian Hills Country Club along with the other junior program players of the year.

In the girls division the threat of a playoff never happened. With an opening round 71, Katie Sharp of Kendallville put herself in a great position with a 7-shot cushion. Even with a 79 the second day, she went uncontested and won by 10 over Rachel Welker of Terre Haute. “Overall I had a really good tournament,” said Sharp. “Today there was more wind but I had a few more mistakes than I needed to. I missed more greens and hit into a lot of bunkers.”

But despite feeling like she made some mistakes, her play and the win helped Sharp regain some confidence she lost at the 2011 IHSAA Girls State Finals. “I didn’t do as well at State as I would have liked, and it had me worried that I was losing it. But this tournament helped me gain a lot of confidence back. It’s a nice win after playing so poorly there.”
