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 the IGA-PGA

2012Annual4

Some 18 years ago a movement was underfoot to bring The First Tee to Indianapolis. Meetings were held, committees were formed, a home- site was selected. Talks eventually stalled and the quest to have

a First Tee influence in Indianapolis was put on hold.

Fast forward to 2009. A First Tee chapter was finally formed in Indianapolis, becoming the third First Tee Chapter in the state of Indiana. The First Tee of Indianapolis did an excellent job of getting The First Tee’s National Schools Program into Indianapolis area schools. Through the NSP program, The First Tee of Indianapolis was reaching over 8,000 kids in 22 IPS elementary schools

The future for The First Tee of Indianapolis however was very much in doubt. Due to limited sources of funding and an uncertain financial future, an effort was spearheaded by then First Tee board member Alice Dye, to have the Indianapolis First Tee Chapter come under the Indiana Golf Foundation umbrella.

Formed in 1994 with an annual operating budget of $800,000, the Foundation was viewed as the organization that could provide long term sustainability to The First Tee and offer growth opportunities that could potentially reach tens of thousands of kids in Indiana.

That process was completed in late 2011. The name and geographic scope of the chapter were changed to The First Tee of Central Indiana and a new plan was developed. Within months of this transition taking place, a new movement was underway to once again expand the reach and scope of The First Tee in Indiana.

However long it took to begin offering First Tee programming in Indianapolis, it was now on the fast track to not only reaching central Indiana youth but those interested in golf throughout the state of Indiana.

As of December 2012, The First Tee of Indiana now has the ability to offer First Tee

programming to kids from Evansville to South Bend and Terre Haute to Richmond and all communities in between.

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. That mission fit perfectly into the Foundation’s Mission of “Teaching Life Lessons Through the Game of Golf” making the decision to pull The First Tee under the Foundation’s administration an easy one.

The First Tee (www.thefirsttee.org) is an initiative of the World Golf Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in St. Augustine, Fla., at World Golf Village, home of the World Golf Hall of Fame. More specifically, it is an international youth development organization introducing the game of golf and its inherent values to young people. Through after school and in school programs, it helps to shape the lives of young people from all walks of life by reinforcing values like integrity, respect and perseverance through the game of golf. And it’s making a difference. Research-proven programs are having a positive impact on participants, their families and their communities.

• 6.5 million participants reached since 1997• 10,000 volunteers actively engaged • 5,100 elementary schools offering The

First Tee National School Programduring the 2012-2013 school year

• 50 U.S. states offering The First Tee programming

• 4 international locations offering The First Tee programming

Since its inception in 1997, The First Tee has introduced the game of golf and its values to 4.7 million participants and students in 48 states and five international locations – Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Singapore. There are currently 196 First Tee chapters.

The First Tee was founded and is supported by golf’s major organizations, including:

• Masters Tournament• The PGA of America

• PGA Tour• United States Golf Association (USGA)• Ladies Professional Golf Association

(LPGA)

The First Tee curriculum focuses on Nine Core Values that are inherent to the game of golf; Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy and Judgment. These Nine Core Values are engrained in The First Tee curriculum making First Tee programs more about turning out well rounded individuals than accomplished golfers.

The opportunities for reaching thousands of Indiana youth are numerous. Moving forward, The First Tee of Indiana will look to expand the number of youth it reaches by adding affiliate sites around the state in addition to the programming being offered in the Indianapolis metropolitan area.

Currently an affiliate site in Richmond is reaching over 2,000 kids through the NSP and another 200 in summer programs. An affiliate site in South Bend/Elkhart (Michiana) has just been added and a NSP will be offered beginning in the fall of 2013.

Future plans call for affiliate sites to be added in 2013 in Bloomington, Columbus and Orange and Dubois Counties (South Central). Potential plans for 2014 include expansion into the Evansville, Valparaiso, Terre Haute and Lafayette markets. Within the next two years as many as 40,000 elementary school students could be part of First Tee programs in their elementary schools.

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

While it took some time for The First Tee to land in Indianapolis and eventually to become a statewide program, it is now making up for lost time.

For only the third time in history, an Indiana PGA Professional will serve as the President of the PGA of America. Ted Bishop, the Director of Golf at The Legends Golf Club in Franklin, Ind., was elected president on November 10 at the 38th Annual PGA Meeting in Baltimore, Md. As President of the largest sports organization in the world, Bishop will oversee the Board of Directors, assist in shaping PGA policy, and represent the Association at various functions. He will serve in this volunteer function for two years when the 39th President will be elected in November 2014 at the PGA Annual Meeting to be held in Indianapolis. Bishop was elected Secretary in 2008 and transitioned into the role of Vice President in 2010. The PGA of America elects a new secretary from its membership every two years. The PGA constitution calls for a Secretary to progress through the offices every two years until they are confirmed as President of the PGA.

A Logansport, Ind. native, Bishop grew up playing baseball and basketball. At the urging of his father, Bishop found a summer job in high school working at Rolling Hills GC. He learned the game playing his first round of golf with buddies at a local park, hitting balls from lamp post to lamp post, with the George Fazio 7-iron he bought from a nearby hardware store.

An agronomy major at Purdue University, Bishop had plans to become a golf course superintendent. However, Phil Harris Golf Club in Linton, Ind., offered him a dual job as golf professional and superintendent. After some coaxing from PGA Professional Frank Henry, he accepted the job and eventually focused on becoming a PGA member and was elected to membership in 1985.

We had the opportunity to sit down with Ted and ask him a few questions about his new role as President and his thoughts on some of the PGA’s most pressing issues.

What made you decide to run for Secretary in 2006?On a Sunday in January, a good friend of mine, Jim Remy, was visiting for the Colts playoff game. It was the epic game against the Steelers when in the last few seconds, the Colts recovered a fumble and almost ran it back for a touchdown. It was a brutal loss for the Colts. Remy and I were sitting at my house that Sunday night and he said to me, “What are you going to do for the next three weeks now that your football season is over?”

I told him, ‘I think I’m going to run for PGA Secretary’. I don’t know what exactly made me think to do it. It was one of those spontaneous decisions that just happened.

In 2006 you lost in a close election. How did this loss help prepare you to run again in 2008?It was honestly the best thing that ever happened to me. It allowed me to serve on the Board of Directors for a couple of years. In the first 30 days as President, I was able to be a part of the selection process of the new PGA of America CEO and also had the chance to help select Tom Watson as the 2014 Ryder Cup Captain. If I had been elected in 2006, I never would have been a part of these things, so I have absolutely no regrets.

In 2008 and 2009 your platform focused on membership and employment issues. What made you focus on these two issues?The PGA of America exists for its members. At that time, the economy

ONE-ON-ONE with Ted Bishop

2012 Annual 7

was really struggling. PGA members were having a hard time with their jobs and their facilities, but in turn, it actually set us up perfectly for where we ended up going with Golf 2.0. We’ve talked about employment for several years, but we never really had a roadmap of how to improve a member’s situation. All of the things we did this year with the playbooks and all the information that we tried to put in the hands of our members, in terms of player development, ways to bring new players to the game, bring women to the game, and get engaged in programs like Get Golf Ready, helped do just that. We have been trying to emphasize to PGA members, that if they’re going to increase their job security and compensation package they have to drive revenue to their facilities. It was nice to see it tie into player development because that’s the key to golf right now.

What is the main focus of your current platform as President of the PGA of America?The main focus right now is convincing our PGA members that it is of the utmost importance to track and assemble results of player development so that they can have intelligent conversations with their employer and be able to show the effort they are putting forth.

Why do you so strongly support the Get Golf Ready program?In my 35 years of being a part of the game of golf, it is the greatest player development program I’ve ever seen. For $99 a player gets five, 90 minutes lessons from an LPGA or PGA professional. It’s a great value for the player. Also, each session involves an on-course experience, so by the end of the Get Golf Ready program the student has been on the golf course five times, which is totally different than the way we used to teach golf. By exposing players to the golf course and giving them ways to have fun, it stimulates them to come back. Eighty percent of players who go through Get Golf Ready stay in the game. Also, there is a great opportunity for the instructor and player to form a bond, which turns into retention of the student. This generates residual dollars to the facility. It is a program that benefits the student, the golf professional, and the facility.

How would you describe the current state of the golf industry?Things are still tough, particularly in the Midwest, but rounds nationwide were up this year, which was partly due to great weather. There are some signs the economy has turned around a bit and everybody seems to be cautiously optimistic.

Dottie Pepper just joined the PGA Board. How will she assist you with reaching out to women and getting more players on the course?We are really excited to have Dottie on the Board of Directors. She just retired from NBC so she has a lot of time to devote to the PGA of America. She will be a tremendous resource, not just in women’s golf, but also in junior golf. We have had a lot of great independent directors, but she brings a whole different perspective. She has great insight on media relations, she was a tour player at the highest level, and she has recently been named an Assistant Captain of the US Solheim Cup Team. The list goes on and on. Dottie was sworn in as an independent director the same day I was elected, November 10, 2012. Three weeks prior, she attended the Northeastern New York PGA Section Meeting, her local PGA Section, because she had never been to a meeting and wanted to see what they were like. This is very indicative of her commitment and what we can expect of her.

What are your thoughts on the new rule change which prohibits players from anchoring the club?The PGA of America has spent a lot of time, money, and resources with the implementation of Golf 2.0 and growing the game. The proposed rule change was done to impact competitive golf at the elite level. At the same time, the average PGA of America Professional works with amateur players of all skill sets and it causes us angst to see them have to change their techniques. My biggest concern that I heard 2-3 weeks after this rule change was that the next thing they are considering is distance control and not just at an elite level. If we did anything to curtail distance at the amateur level I think there would be a revolt. One of the first things I did as PGA President of America was to poll my members about Rule 14-b (Anchoring the Club) and 4,228 responded to the survey. Sixty three percent indicated they were opposed to it.

Do you think things will ever get to the point where we have two sets of rules; one for elite professionals and one for amateurs?There’s a lot of discussion about this. Right now, this is not an opinion that the USGA is considering. There are a lot of people that feel like bifurcation would make sense now more than ever. Virtually every other sport has a bifurcation of rules.

In the early 90s, you helped expand the Indiana Golf Hall of Fame. What does it mean to you to join the Hall of Fame in 2013?Hearing this news meant more to me than anything that happened in November. I got a call from Chip Essig right before getting on an elevator heading up to do an interview with Watson about becoming the 2014 Ryder Cup Captain. I had not experienced an emotional reaction to anything since becoming President, but when I hung up the phone with Chip and was riding up in that elevator, it was like I had this emotional release and I can’t think of any other way to describe it. With the Indiana Golf Hall of Fame located adjacent to the Legends, it’s really special. For me to know that in some small way I had something to do with the Hall of Fame being here, makes it even cooler.

And to be inducted with Chris Smith is really special for me. The Smith family is probably the most decorated in Indiana golf history. Todd was my Vice President when I was Indiana Section President and he has always been a great friend. We raised $145,000 at The Legends back in 2009 when Chris lost his wife Beth. It’s just even more meaningful to be involved in an evening with the Smith family.

Indiana Section PGAThe Indiana Section PGA is the governing body of professional golfers in Indiana and serves as one of the 41 sections for the Professional Golfers Association of America.

The Indiana Section PGA administers tournaments, provides educational opportunities, assists with employment matters and other membership related items for the nearly 600 PGA Members and Apprentices in the state.

Dear Indiana PGA Members & Apprentices,

Why do we do what we do? This is a question that we all need to ask ourselves as we enter the 2013 golf season. I challenge each of you to have the mentality to become a better golf professional in 2013.

The true meaning to long-term success in our business is “building long-term relationships” with our customers, staff, sales reps, and other professionals

in our industry. We are in the “feel good” business and I stress the importance of being a better listener this year. It is my own personal goal to become a better listener and learn how to deliver the requests of my customers in the most efficient manner that goes beyond their expectations.

We have the opportunity to take golf to another level for the next two years with having our own Ted Bishop as the 38th President of the PGA of America. It is vital that each of us promote the game of golf by participating in the Get Golf Ready programs and the new PGA Junior League. I believe your stock goes up at your facility and it improves your bottom-line if you take care of the women and the kids.

I am looking forward to the opportunity to lead our Indiana Section for the next two years and also to the great opportunity in hosting the 39th PGA Annual Meeting in the Fall of 2014 in Indianapolis.

We have the best PGA section in the country and I cannot thank all of you enough for all the hard work and dedication that each of you bring to your facility everyday - JOB WELL DONE!

In Golf,Todd Firestone

The PGA of America has long championed the slogan, “PGA Professionals are the Experts in the Game and Business of Golf.” For most PGA Professionals, this equates to working as a Club Professional, a Teaching Professional, or maybe even in the golf industry as tournament officials or golf administrators.

In Indiana, we have found four PGA members who have really thought outside the box for their employment. Whether leading collegiate women, promoting the game to visitors, or serving as a marketing tool for local business, each of these PGA Professionals still prove the slogan true.

LADY LUCK

Susan Holt is no stranger to collegiate golf. A former member of The Ohio State University women’s team, Holt has been a Division I head coach for 23 years and part of the Notre Dame Women’s program for the past seven. A PGA member since 1992, Holt is the current Head Coach for the Irish.

“My favorite part about being a coach is when a student-athlete pushes herself to a whole new level,” said Holt. “Watching her mature as a player and a person, while accomplishing things she never thought she could, is very rewarding.”

Holt sets team goals that remain consistent from year to year; Finish in the top five in tournaments, average team score under 300, earn a top 25 rank, win the Conference Championship, play in the NCAA finals, and attain the highest GPA of all 26 sports at Notre Dame.

In 2012, the team finished 5th in three out of their four tournaments, had a scoring average of 296.4, ranked 14th in country, and held the highest GPA out of any sport at Notre Dame for the past three semesters, with a record 3.77 cumulative GPA this past spring.

The team’s success is rooted in their day-to-day hard work.

“A typical day begins at 6 a.m. for team workouts, followed by team

practice from 7:30-9:30 a.m. After I attend workouts and practice, I spend the rest of my day doing paperwork, answering emails, going to meetings and recruiting,” Holt said. “If we are on the road at a tournament, our days are around eight hours long. Players warm up for an hour, play their five hour rounds, and then we finish up the day with a two hour practice,” Holt added.

As the Assistant Women’s Coach, Kyle Lynne Veltri says her goal is to support and develop the student athletes professionally. Obviously golf is very important to coaches and students, but it comes second to their education. Veltri played college golf at Saint Mary’s University, also in South Bend, Ind., and after graduation worked as an Assistant Golf Professional in West Virginia. Veltri was contacted about the position by the late George L. Thomas, an Indiana Hall of Fame member and the past Men’s Head Coach at Notre Dame, as Veltri used to play for his daughter at Saint Mary’s.

“My favorite part of coaching is being around the young ladies,” Veltri said. “They are a wonderful group and keep me young!”

BANKER’S HOURS

Building relationships with their members and students is an important part of any PGA Professional’s job. While working as the PGA Professional at Dye’s Walk Country Club, one of Mike Comb’s students presented a new opportunity to him.

“I was giving golf lessons to the controller of The National Bank of Indianapolis (NBI) and he

was telling me how they were having trouble gaining a foothold in the market,” said Combs.

NBI realized Mike’s expertise in golf instruction, coupled with his golf contacts, made for a valuable asset for the organization and they created a position for Mike as their Market Manager.

“They mentioned to me that they could teach me the banking side of business, but the skills I have learned from being a golf professional could not be easily matched,” Combs said.

Combs’ specific role as the Market Manager NBI is to use his contacts and teaching skills to generate business for the bank.

“The most important skill I have learned from years of teaching is to listen and observe my clients,” Combs said. “I have to understand what they want and need before I make any suggestions.”

His knowledge about the game of golf, as well as his developed skills in business have made him a success at The National Bank of Indianapolis.

“I use the skills of communication, quick thinking, organization, and generally a high service mentality,” Combs said. “I would not be able to do my job without the skills I have learned from being a golf professional.”

TRAIL BLAZER

It takes a special individual to represent legends of the game. So when The Pete Dye Trail decided to hire a PGA Professional to serve as its Director, Bruce Rearick knew he had a leg-up. As the former head professional at Latrobe Country Club, Rearick reported to owner, and golfing great, Arnold Palmer.

“I worked for Mr. Arnold Palmer for a number of years and through him was exposed to different business aspects pertaining to the game of golf,” Rearick said. “I became familiar with hospitality, tournament sales and management services to corporate clients. When I was asked to examine the potential opportunities presented by the Pete Dye Trail, these past experiences served me well.”

The Pete Dye Golf Trail consists of seven Indiana courses designed by Pete & Alice Dye including: Mystic Hills GC, The Kampen Course at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, Plum Creek GC, The Fort GC, Maple Creek GC, Brickyard Crossing GC and The Pete Dye Course at French Lick.

Bruce thrives at the Pete Dye Trail and finds it to be similar to his previous jobs in many ways.

“I still do my best to serve golfers and the places they play,” Rearick said. “I enjoy the broad scope of the position and the interaction with a variety of people and opportunities.”

INDIANA’S HIDDEN GEM

2012Annual12

A tireless advocate for French Lick, Indiana, a role model for Orange County junior golfers and dedicated grass roots PGA Professional, Dave Harner, the Director of Golf at French Lick Resort has been named the 2012 Indiana Section PGA Golf Professional of the Year.

Harner has been a mainstay at French Lick Resort for over 30 years. He has seen the resort go from a struggling facility in an out of the way place to a thriving, decorated golf destination.

While the accolades roll in, Harner remains firmly committed to his roots in French Lick. He and his wife began the Orange County Junior Golf Foundation 14 years ago in an effort to allow youth in Orange County to experience the game of golf. The Harners believed that golf could play an important role in helping shape the lives and culture of Orange County’s youth. They obtained a USGA grant to help fund start-up costs and provided course access at no cost. Dave saw this as a way that the resort could give back to the local community.

“We thought such a program would help make a difference, not only in the short run by allowing kids to play, but that golf would ultimately change their lives by teaching them a sense of honor and fair play they couldn’t get elsewhere,” said Harner.

He also served as coach of the Springs Valley Boys Golf Team from 2000 to 2011. His team advanced to the IHSAA Boys Regional in 2009, the first time a Springs Valley Team had accomplished this since 1962. They repeated their feat again in 2010 and 2011. These accomplishments were achieved by a group of original members to the Orange County Junior Golf Association.

In addition, he has had 5 members of the Orange County Junior Golf Association go on to play college golf and three of his current Assistant Professionals at French Lick were products of the Orange County Junior Golf Association.

He has recently developed a caddy program at the Pete Dye Course and has had a total of 3 Chick Evans Scholarships awarded to date with another 7 applicants being considered for the 2012 Scholarship Awards.

In addition to his dedication to the support of junior golf initiatives, Harner has always placed a high value on supporting his fellow PGA Members, apprentices and the Indiana Section PGA. He and French Lick Resort have served as host to numerous Indiana PGA, Indiana Golf Association and Indiana Golf Foundation events.

“I am committed to make the French Lick Resort a place to which all PGA Professionals can come, be our guests and get away from the everyday challenges of their own jobs,” says Harner. “Our doors are always open to the PGA Professionals from the Indiana Section.”

Harner has worked hard to increase the PGA’s presence in Southern Indiana. He has always tried to hire young men and women from the local area as assistants and he currently has 5 PGA registered apprentices, all of them from within 25 miles of French Lick, all with Indiana roots and all looking to stay in the region.

“I hope my fellow professionals view me in a positive way,” stated Harner. “If I had to say what that positive way would be, it would read something like: ‘Here’s a guy who got into the business working at the most menial job in golf. He started at the bottom. He stayed the course, he listened, he learned, he had ambition and respect for those with whom he interacted. He dared to be different. He cared about not only the customer but for the staff around him. He used golf to make a difference and he has always been grateful for the opportunity.’ “ For his overall commitment to all facets of the game of golf, Harner was given the Golf Professional of the Year award which is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a PGA Member. “Golf has never been just a way to earn a living to me,” stated Harner. “Golf has given me so many opportunities to touch people, not only as a face in the golf shop, but as a mentor, community leader, instructor, role model, father figure, or whatever other needs if I have found in my daily travels,” he added.

PGA PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEARDave Harner, French Lick Resort

Whether teaching world renowned players, authoring articles or developing teaching aids to improve performance or providing free lessons for inner-city children, Colby Huffman is dedicated to helping people improve their golf game and their overall enjoyment of the game. Huffman, of Hickory Stick Golf Course in Greenwood, Indiana, was named the 2012 Indiana Section PGA Teacher of the Year.

Tom Thome of Elcona Country Club in Elkhart, Indiana lists one of his proudest accomplishments as having placed eight of his former assistant golf professionals into head professional positions. For this accomplishment along with his willingness to mentor and share ideas with his fellow PGA Members, he was awarded the Indiana Section PGA 2012 Bill Strausbaugh Award.

Thome makes it a point to stay in contact with other local professionals to address numerous topics including tournament operations, membership retention, employee matters, rounds of golf, education and leadership. He believes that during this economic downturn providing support for other professionals has become even more critical.

Thome was instrumental in the development of the Indiana Section Assistant Golf Professional of the Year award during his service to the Section Board in 2001 and 2002. He showed his dedication to bettering and serving his fellow PGA Professionals when he served as Education Committee Chairman in 2002.

The Bill Strausbaugh Award is presented to those PGA members who by their day-to-day efforts have distinguished themselves in the field of club relations, causing dramatic improvements in employment conditions in their local Section and/or the PGA of America.

Tellstrom spends the majority of his time at French Lick’s Pete Dye Course, which did $67 per round in 2011.

Tellstrom says that the three courses at French Lick are all very distinct and merchandising philosophies vary at each facility. He says that displays are used to match the feel of the individual course and golf shop. The golf shops are re-arranged as much as possible with merchandise moved to keep the shop fresh when repeat guests return.

The feel of the Pete Dye Course is more of a private club with rich colors and more upscale vendors. Tellstrom states that the team effort that goes into the merchandising process is a major key to their success.

Conrad Sole Survivor of Indiana OpenWest Baden, Ind. - The field was bunched together for most of the opening round of the 97th Indiana Open Championship presented by Visit French Lick/West Baden. Tournament rounds alternated between the Donald Ross Course and the Pete Dye Course with the play starting on the Donald Ross Course. Late during the first round, Madison’s Justin Tereshko posted an impressive 4-under par 66. Still 28 players were within five shots of the lead entering the second round.

On day two of the Open, Indianapolis’ Jeff Cook fired a second round 69 at The Pete Dye Course to take a one shot lead at the midway point. Cook, a four time Indiana Open Champion, and the Mizuno Tour Rep, was one of only five players to break 70 on the demanding Dye Course layout.

“I have no expectations,” said Cook. “I’ve only played four rounds in Indiana this year, and I haven’t played any competitive rounds in two years,” said the 51-year-old former PGA Tour player.

Cook distanced himself from the majority of the competition after his tremendous play on the difficult Dye Course and hope to become the first ever five-time Indiana State Open Champion.

New Albany’s Blake Watts surprised the field after firing a course record, 63 on the Dye Course during the second round. Watts, a PGA Professional at Audubon Country Club in Louisville, set the record with a nearly flawless round consisting of nine pars and nine birdies. His two day total 138 put him only one shot back heading into the third round.

Nine golfers broke par during the third round of the Open. However, none of those sub-par rounds came from anyone in the last three groups of the day. The result was a crowded leaderboard entering Thursday’s final round with 18 golfers within five shots of the lead.

While the leaders faltered, Stephen Conrad, of Syracuse, Ind., put together a solid even par performance to move into the final pairing for Thursday’s final round. Conrad, the 2005 Indiana Amateur Champion, had matching nines of 35-35 for his 70 total.

“I played solid today,” said Conrad. “I don’t feel like I made any mistakes. I haven’t played in a tournament since January. I placed third last year and it has always been a goal of mine to win the Open. Who wouldn’t want to win this tournament being a Hoosier?”

Conrad got off to a fast start in the final round making birdie on holes 3, 4, and 5 to take a commanding three shot lead.

“After three birdies I felt like I was on cloud nine,” said Conrad. “It was huge getting early birdies and being patient,” he added.

Conrad went on to bogey holes 8, 12 and 16 to fall back to even par. He held on to his slim lead and finished with two pars to secure a two shot victory over Evansville’s Tyler Merkel and Bloomington’s Chase Wright. Conrad was the only player to finish the tournament under par over French Lick’s difficult Ross and Dye Courses.

“To be honest, I would not have expected to be in this position,” said the 27 year-old professional. “I pick up a club every once in a while. It’s surreal not playing in any tournaments and winning the Indiana Open.”

Merkel fell short of his attempt to add an Open Championship to his Indiana Amateur Championship from earlier in the summer.

“I tried to shoot the best number I could today,” said Merkel. “Stephen posted a great score today, hats off to him,” added Merkel.

The Ball State junior finished the day with a 1-over-par 73.

Wright, who turned professional after graduating from Indiana University in May, finished runner-up for the second consecutive year.

“It’s just kind of tough seeing what the winning score was,” said a disappointed Wright. “It was a good learning experience and I get some money out of it too.”

Indianapolis’ Jeff Cook, the co-leader entering the final round, posted a 75 to finish in a tie for fourth. A double bogey 6, on the par-4, 11th proved to put him too far behind Conrad to be able to make a run at the title.

“I tried to hit a cut shot in there,” said Cook. “But even after making double, I still hung in there.”

In addition to Merkel’s runner up finish this week, he also earned low amateur honors.

Fishers, Ind. – Indianapolis’ John DalCorobbo fired a solid final round 71 to capture his third Indiana Section PGA Professional Championship at The Hawthorns Golf and Country Club. DalCorobbo entered the final round with a narrow one-shot lead over Fort Wayne’s Quinn Griffing.

Griffing got off to a rough start, with three bogeys and a double bogey coming in his first five holes. DalCorobbo, on the other hand, began the day with four straight pars and a birdie on the par-4, fifth hole, giving him an immediate seven-shot lead over Griffing.

Meanwhile, Orleans’ Adam Marshall, who began the day just two-shots back, got off to an identical start as DalCorobbo, and proved to be his toughest competition.

Heading into the par-5, ninth hole, DalCorobbo sat comfortably at 5-under-par for the tournament. DalCorobbo went on to 3-putt from 20 feet to bogey the hole, and fall back to 4-under-par. Marshall sank his 10-footer for birdie to go to 3-under-par, putting him one-shot out of the lead.

With this two-shot swing, the momentum was in Marshall’s favor heading into the back nine.

On the par-4, 10th, DalCorobbo missed another short putt for par and fell back to four-under, now tied with Marshall with eight holes to play.

“I felt really good through nine holes,” said DalCorobbo, a Teaching Professional at Prairie View Golf Club. “But after I missed a short putt on 9 and again on 10, I admit I was a bit nervous,” he added.

On the par-5, 11th hole, there was another two-shot swing, but this time in DalCorobbo’s favor. After DalCorobbo sank a 20-foot birdie putt, Marshall missed his short par attempt, falling back to three-under-par, now two shots behind DalCorobbo, the leader.

Both players went on to par holes 12 and 13, birdie hole 14, and par holes 15 and 16.

On the 196 yard, par-3, 17th hole, DalCorobbo missed his tee shot left of the green, and with one hard bounce he landed in the lateral water hazard. Marshall hit his iron shot to the center of the green, with a good look at birdie.

“I was aiming to the right/middle of the green and my miss is typically to the left right now,” said DalCorobbo about his miscalculated tee shot. “I got a good break after two drops rolled back into the hazard, and I was able to place my ball, which gave me a good lie,” he added.

DalCorobbo had an outstanding up-and-down for bogey on 17, which was enough to keep his lead.

He went on to par the par-4, 18th hole, which Marshall bogeyed, giving him a two-shot victory. DalCorobbo finished at 5-under-par, a total of 211 for the tournament.

This win marks DalCorobbo’s third at this event, with previous wins coming in ’07 and ’11.

“It feels tremendous to win three times,” said DalCorobbo. “After all the anguish and agony that goes into a final round, I feel great to come out on top,” he added.

DalCorobbo claimed one of the six qualifying spots to participate in the 2013 Professional National Championship at Sunriver Resort in Sunriver, Oregon, which will be held June 23-26.

“Qualifying for this tournament gives me added motivation to work hard over the winter,” said DalCorobbo. “I would love to finish in the top 20 at Nationals and get a chance to compete in the 2013 PGA Championship,” he added.

Marshall’s runner-up finish also qualified him for the National Championship next June.

“This was my first time playing in this event and it feels awesome to qualify for Nationals,” said Marshall. “I knew John would be tough to catch, but overall I was pretty pleased,” he added.

Along with DalCorobbo and Marshall, Chad Ayres, Fred Mattingly, Brian Brodell, and David Von Hoffman also qualified for the National Championship.

Jim Ousley claimed the first alternate spot, Mike O’Toole, the second, and Quinn Griffing, the third.

Shadday, winner of the Indiana PGA Assistant Championship

Indianapolis, Ind. – Fisher’s Blair Shadday defended his title at the Indiana PGA Assistant Championship with a three-round total 216 at Meridian Hills Country Club. Shadday fired a 3-over-par 74 in the final round, giving him a two shot victory over Brownburg’s Andrew Stolze.

“Today went well,” said Shadday, an Assistant Professional at Purgatory Golf Club. “I was a little bit nervous at first and I missed a short putt on one after hitting it to 10 feet. After my birdie on nine I felt more comfortable and started playing better heading into the back.”

Despite Shadday’s rough start, with bogeys on holes 1, 3, and 7, he was able to turn it around with back-to-back birdies on holes 9 and 10.

Shadday’s victory at Meridian Hills earned him one of the two qualifying spots to compete inthe 36th National Car Rental and Cobra/Puma Golf PGA Assistant National Championship. This win marks Shadday’s third at the Indiana PGA Assistant Championship, with previous wins coming in ’09 and ’11.

“It feels amazing to win today,” said Shadday. “I know the golf course down at Port St. Lucie pretty well so I should be comfortable there. I’ve missed the cut the last two times I played down there, so I would really like to change that this time around,” he added.

Stolze, an Assistant Professional at the Country Club of Indianapolis, finished with a total of 218, claiming the second spot in the Championship at Port St. Lucie.

“This is my first time playing in this tournament and even though I didn’t win, second feels pretty good, too,” said Stolze. “Despite the few short putts I missed today, I played pretty well. I’ve never been down to Port St. Lucie, so I’m really excited,” he added.

Shadday and Stolze competed at Port St. Lucie November 11-14. Shadday finished in a tie for 23rd.

Chris Montagano, an Assistant Professional at Sycamore Hills Country Club, finished third with a three-day total of 220, after firing an impressive 3-under-par 68 in the final round.

Sowinski Beats Carich in Extra Holes...Again!!!

Wabash, Ind. - Don’t ask Bridgewater Head Professional Dave Carich if lightning can strike twice in the same place. He is a believer. Briar Ridge’s Gary Sowinski knocked off Carich on the second playoff hole to win the 2012 Indiana PGA Senior Championship. Seventeen years ago, Sowinski needed just one playoff hole to beat Carich in the 1995 Indiana PGA Northern Open.

In the early stages of the final round it didn’t look as though a playoff would be needed to determine the outcome. Carich, enjoying his second summer as a senior player, built on his opening round 67, adding birdies on Honeywell Golf Courses holes 1, 2 and 4 to move to 7-under-par and take a four shot lead over Sowinski and Ft. Wayne’s Quinn Griffing.

“I just had to keep playing and just kept looking at playing the best I could,” said Sowinski of Carich’s early onslaught.

After his fast start, Carich began to cool off after a three putt bogey on the par-4, sixth hole and a disappointing bogey on the reachable par-5, eighth hole. Sowinski meanwhile continued to stay close and closed the gap to just one shot with birdies on the 418 yard par-4, ninth hole and the 378 yard par-4, 10th hole.

“We made the turn and both of us were 1-under (for the day) and I thought I had a chance,” said Sowinski.

Following a Carich three-putt on the par-3, 148 yard 16th hole, the players were tied as they went to the 17th hole. Both players were able to save par after missing the green which took them to 18 still tied. With two birdies on 18, Carich and Sowinksi headed to a playoff rematch.

After trading pars on the first playoff hole, Sowinski knocked it on the par-5, 516 yard second hole in two shots and two-putted for the birdie and the victory.

For Sowinski, it was his first Indiana PGA victory since the 1996 Southern Open.

Sowinski, Carich, Griffing, Anderson Country Club’s Scott Steger and Pleasant Run’s Denny Ford represented Indiana in the National Senior Club Professional Championship October 11-14 in Virginia. Griffing finished in a tie for 57th.

O’Toole Wins Indiana PGA Championships

Fort Wayne, Ind. - Noblesville’s Mike O’Toole fired an impressive 3-under-par, 69 at the Indiana PGA Championships at Sycamore Hills Golf Club, and was the only player to break par.

“It was one of those rounds where I made a lot of long putts to save par,” said O’Toole. “I made at least three 20-footers, which kept my momentum going.”

O’Toole’s round consisted of four birdies, coming on holes four, five, seven, and 18. He only carded one bogey on the par-4, 16th hole.

His 3-under-par finish was enough to grab a three shot lead over second place finishers John DalCorobbo and Chad Ayres.

“It was a nice win,” said O’Toole. “I played against the best players in the section and we all had to qualify to be here. The competition was about as good as it could have been and it means a lot,” he added.

This is my last time to write the President’s message. I wish I could tell you that I have done incredible things and made this organization a hundred times better, but I would be lying. This organization has been strong for years, and will be for years to come.

It’s the people involved that make this association the best in the country. Our ability to cooperate with our PGA section and those dedicated professionals makes us strong. Mike David and his staff deserve all of the praise given to them over the years. Our Board of Directors consists of many folks who have been with us for years and who truly care about golf in Indiana. They especially make our State Amateur one of the best. I want to thank each of them for their time and efforts over the years. The officers in line to lead the IGA over the next years are as good a group as anyone could want.

I want to especially thank Matt Schmidt for his work as Tournament Director. He continues to find great courses for us and to run events as professionally as anyone anywhere. He has

completed our schedule and made registration available earlier than ever. Thanks also to South Bend Country Club for hosting our State Am in 2013.

One new development for the IGA is our branching out to run other events. The Big Ten asked us to run their men’s and women’s tournaments at French Lick in 2012, 2013,and 2014. We are running qualifiers for both Web.com events and USGA events. These requests are made because of the quality of our staff and volunteers.

We hope to maintain our popular one day events even though we have lost our sponsor. We will have four of them this year. We also hope to further support and assist our State Seniors Association which does an amazing job of hosting quality events.

I would like to congratulate Ted Bishop on becoming President of the PGA of America. His election will give the IGA and Mike David an opportunity to be in the forefront on national issues for the next two years.

Noblesville’s Kenny Cook was named the 2012 IGA John K. David Player of the Year. Cook began the 2012 season strong with a first place finish at the Indiana PGA Southern Open at Harrison Lake Country Club. His 3-under-par 69 was enough to win by a two shot margin over Bob Stephens.

“This is quite an honor and something I never expected to win,” said Stephens.

Merkel Named 112th Indiana Amateur Champion Carmel, Ind. - With long fescue grass guarding most fairways and strong winds pushing shots off-line, Tyler Merkel’s 3-under-par finish at the Indiana Amateur Championship proved impressive as he defeated the field by three strokes.

During the opening round, balls were consistently sucked into the tall grass, and scores continued to come in higher than anticipated. Merkel, a Ball State University golfer, was the first to come in with a solid round of 71, surpassing the morning’s average by eight strokes. “I controlled the flight of my shots well which was important with this wind,” Merkel said. “And I kept it in the fairway which makes this course a lot easier.”

As wind continued to pick up for the afternoon groups, Ryan Terry, of Lipscomb University, took an unexpected lead, coming in with a 2-under-par 70.

On day two, Terry’s lead did not hold for long, as he was surpassed by the 2012 IGA Tournament of Champions’ winner, Sean Rowen.

Rowen was very aware of the many strong collegiate players in the field. “This is the one you want to win,” said Rowen after posting a 4-under-par 68, and looking like a frontrunner heading into day three.

Rowen began his third round with a bogey on hole 1, and the day took a downward turn from there. The group to follow proved to be that of Tyler Merkel and Scott Pieri, a former player for Ball State.

As the day progressed, Pieri looked confident and consistent, and by hole 12 was 3-under-par. However, on the 13th hole, Pieri incurred a two shot penalty for giving a spectator a ride in his golf cart, setting him back to 1-under-par for the day.

“That rule has been in place for several years,” said IGA Executive Director, Mike David. “It’s unfortunate that Scott was not aware of the rule. The rule is designed to make the experience of playing in our events more enjoyable. Scott certainly didn’t gain any advantage by giving someone a ride, but a rule is a rule. Hopefully it won’t affect the outcome of the event,” he added.

Pieri has not played in many large IGA events, but still he said, “It’s up to me to know the rules and was 100 percent my fault. At the time I didn’t think it was a big deal, but it is a rule.”

Despite Pieri’s penalty, he remained in the lead.

“I played a solid round of golf,” said Pieri. I drove the ball in play and I putted nicely. I hope to go out and do the same thing tomorrow.”

Coming on strong simultaneously was Tyler Merkel, who was even through 16 holes, and his birdie on 17 gave him a share of the lead. It would be an all Ball State final group for the last round of the 2012 Indiana State Amateur.

Merkel went out strong in the final round with a birdie on the first hole, which became a two shot lead when combined with Pieri’s opening bogey.

Merkel would maintain a two shot lead through the first 12 holes.

Then on the par-5, 13th hole, Pieri played aggressively and went for the green in two from about 250 yards. Merkel chose to play the hole conservatively and laid up down the left hand side. Pieri’s risk paid off when he walked off the green with a birdie to Merkel’s par, putting him within one shot of the lead. Merkel went on to birdie 14 and Pieri was unable to catch him in their final holes.

“I had a crazy week,” said Pieri. “I had a triple bogey, two double bogeys, a two shot penalty for giving a spectator a ride in my cart, and a whiff today.” Despite Pieri’s ups and downs, he played very steady for four days, finishing the tournament at even par, 288.

After two days of battling Merkel, Pieri was impressed. “Tyler was everything I heard he was,” Pieri said. “I really enjoyed getting to play with him.”

Merkel had proven before he can finish tournament well after qualifying for the NCAA Regionals as an individual representing Ball State earlier this year, and finishing third at last year’s Indiana State Open.

“It hasn’t hit me yet,” Merkel said after two-putting for the win on hole 18. “It feels awesome, though.” Merkel finished the tournament at 3-under-par 285.

Todd Palmer, of Fishers, and Bobby Delagrange, of Westfield, tied for third with a 2-over-par 290.

Williams Captures IGA Public Links ChampionshipSeymour, Ind.- Brodie Williams’ sizzling play matched the temperature outside as he bettered the elements and the Shadowood Golf Course layout to take home the 2012 Indiana Golf Association Public Links Championship. Williams finished the 36- hole event at 8-under-par.

Throughout the day, Williams looked unbeatable, not giving his nearest competitors, Skip Runnels and Jake Groninger any chance to close the gap.

“I just feel like this win is for everybody back home and all the people at the small course where I grew up playing, as well as everyone at Ball State,” said Williams.

In addition to Williams’ victory at the IGA Public Links Championship he also qualified earlier in the summer for the USGA Public Links Championship.

Spicuzza Wins First IGA EventCamby, Ind. – Indianapolis’s Matt Spicuzza started off the week with a 1-under-par 71 to claim the number four seed heading into day two at the IGA Match Play Championship at Heartland Crossing Golf Course. Spicuzza knocked out players one by one, including the number two seed, Joe Gasser, on the final day of competition.

Gasser took an early lead after winning the par-3, second hole, but Spicuzza was able to get one back on the par-3, fifth hole, by sinking a 15-foot birdie putt from the fringe.

On the par-4, seventh hole, Spicuzza took his first lead of the day after sinking another birdie putt.

Then on the par-4, eighth hole, Gasser sunk a 30-foot birdie putt to square things up.

“It was intense and we were back and forth the whole time,” said Spicuzza. “He had me down in the beginning and it could have gone either way at the turn,” he added.

Both players made birdie on 10 and par on hole 11.

On the par-4, 12th hole, Spicuzza took his second 1-up lead of the day, with another converted birdie putt.

Both Spicuzza and Gasser made par on the remaining five holes, which was enough for Spicuzza to keep his 1-up lead and win the match.

“The 12th hole was a pivotal point for me,” said Spicuzza. “I went one up and we both played well from there on out.”

This win marks Spicuzza’s first at an IGA event.

Gasser, a senior at Ball State, also had an impressive tournament. Both players finished under par during the final match, but Gasser just fell short.

“I actually played pretty well,” said Gasser. “I struggled a little down the stretch and had to grind for halves. It’s a good feeling to finish runner-up, but I am a little disappointed that I didn’t win. Matt played great though, and I couldn’t have asked for a better match.”

Spicuzza and Gasser were invited to play in the IGA PGA Challenge Cup on August 2nd.

Till Defeats the Pack at IGA Senior Match Play Championship

West Lafayette, Ind. – Fort Wayne’s Sam Till started off the day with a victory over the number one seed, Dave Williamson, at the IGA Senior Match Play Championship at Ackerman Hills Golf Club. Till defeated Williamson 2&1 to advance to the finals, where he faced Ron Carter, from Monticello.

“Yesterday I started striking the ball really well,” said Till. “I continued to do that today for the most part.”

Till and Carter were all square through nine holes, and Till went on to birdie the par-4, 11th hole, and the par-5, 14th to go 2-up with four holes to play.

On the par-3, 17th, Carter missed the green and failed to get up and down for par, giving Till the win of the hole, as well as the match.

“I’ve won the Senior Open and the Indiana Mid-Amateur,” said Till. “I’ve never won a senior match play event and quite frankly I felt like I was due. Playing in 100 degree heat and winning is very satisfying to me.”

This win was Till’s first in an IGA senior amateur tournament.

Muncie, Ind. - Kokomo’s Brian Harris captured his second Indiana Golf Association title in a 2-hole play-off over Valparaiso’s Dave Vlasic. Harris posted the only under par round of the day to erase a four shot deficit.

Harris fired an opening round 73 over the 6,400 yard Delaware Country Club layout and was in a tie for 16th place entering Friday’s final round. He found himself seven groups away from the leaders and out of the spotlight.

“It’s the only way I could have won,” said Harris of his position in the field. “If I was in the last (lead) group I would have shot 80.”

Vlasic, the 2004 Mid-Amateur Champion, fired an impressive 34 on the front nine, which gave him a share of the lead with Aaron Walters at even par. Harris was just 2 back at 2-over-par.

Harris’s birdie on 14, put him to 1-under-par, for the day, and 2-over-par for the tournament.

Walters started the back nine with a string of two bogeys and a double bogey and eventually finished in a tie for 3rd, one shot off the pace.

Vlasic posted a birdie on holes nine, 10, and 11 to take the lead at 2-under-par. The lead was short lived as he added bogeys on holes 12, 16, 17, and 18, putting him back at 2-over-par for the tournament and tied with Harris.

“I thought I needed to be 4-under to have a chance,” said Harris. “But, it was windy and the course played long. I played pretty steady.”

Both Harris and Vlasic made par the opening playoff hole. Harris drove the ball into the fairway on the par-4, 439 yard, second hole while Vlasic found trouble off the tee in the trees to the left. Vlasic was forced to play his second shot to the right of the green and ended up with a bogey 5. Harris, meanwhile, played his approach to within 20 feet of the hole and two-putted for the victory.

It was Harris’ second IGA title to go with his 2010 victory in the IGA Tournament of Champions.

The IGA Mid-Amateur is open to Indiana amateur players who are 30 years of age and over.

Noblesville, Ind. – Dyer’s Terry Werner captured the IGA Senior Amateur Championship in a two-hole sudden death playoff where he defeated Fort Wayne’s John Zitkovic at Harbour Trees Golf Club. Werner, playing two groups behind the leaders, snuck in a 2-under-par 69 during the final round, surprising the field with a one-under-par tournament finish.

“Once I got it to 3-under-par for the day I felt like I had a chance,” said Werner. “I had one small hiccup on the back nine, putting myself back at 2-under, but for the most part I felt really comfortable with where I stood.”

Meanwhile, Zitkovic got off to a very impressive start in the morning, with four birdies in his opening five holes, to get to 6-under-par for the tournament. Zitkovic looked unbeatable and steady throughout the day until his bogey on the par-3, eighth hole combined with a double bogey on the par-4, ninth hole, brought him back to 3-under-par for the tournament.

“I got off to a great start,” said Zitkovic. “I was hitting it close and making a lot of putts.”

However, Zitkovic’s bogey on the par-3, 18th hole, gave him a 1-under par finish, forcing a playoff with Werner.

Both players bogeyed the par 4, 1st, so they headed to number nine for their second sudden death playoff hole.

Zitkovic missed the green left on nine and failed to get up-and-down for par, while Werner stuck it to 10 feet and easily two-putted for par and for the win.

In the Super Senior Amateur, which was also held at Harbour Trees Golf Club that same day, Alan Buell, from Brazil, Ind., took the title after firing a two-day 5-over par 147.

The Super Senior Amateur is open to players ages 65 and older.

2012Annual

It is hard to believe that 2012 is already over and my second year as IWGA President has begun. As I look back at my message from last year, I feel the board did a very good job at achieving the goals set for 2012. We increased entries for our events from more first time participants and we continue to use surveys and emails to enhance our tournament experiences. I am looking forward to 2013 and what our board can bring to women’s golf in Indiana.

The 2012 golf season proved to be an uncharacteristic one for Indiana. Most golf courses opened earlier than normal or didn’t close down at all. A friend of mine who is a club assistant said, “We were open more days in January than

February when we were closed,” and that was from the Northeast Region of the state. For all of us die-hard golfers, the mild winter weather and early spring helped keep our games in tune, which is why I believe our IWGA events enjoyed some outstanding scores and high participation numbers this season.

2012 was also a season of “firsts”, as in players winning their first state titles. Out of our five events, we had two first time title winners and one double championship title winner. Congratulations to Kristi Cardwell who survived brutal temperatures to win the Women’s Open. I was also honored to have won my first state title at the Mid-Am Championship. This year’s Mid-Am was played at two courses (Champions Pointe and Covered Bridge). Finally, congratulations also goes to Meghan Potee who was a double title winner at the Match Play and State Am Championship. Along with winning the two state titles, Meghan was also awarded the 2012 IWGA Alice O’Neal Dye Player of the Year Award.

For 2013 there is an important change to an event on the schedule. We will continue to offer five events, but there is an eligibility change for one. In this year’s State Am Championship, participation will not be based on handicap. As a board, we decided to put in place an “exception” status based on the previous years results. The remaining open spots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. The board feels this will encourage more participation from players who may not have registered because of the previous handicap requirements. Please check the website for more information regarding this important change.

In closing, myself and the IWGA board members would like to thank all who participated in our 2012 events. We would also like to thank Mike David and all of the Golf Office Staff for their hard work this past season. Thank you to the golf professionals, superintendants, and their staffs for supporting women’s golf and hosting our tournaments. Finally, the IWGA cannot wait to begin the 2013 season.

Indiana Women’sGolf AssociationThe Indiana Women’s Golf Association (IWGA) is the governing body of women’s golf in Indiana. The IWGA’s primary function is to promote women’s golf in Indiana and offer tournament opportunities for amateur women golfers.

Included among the IWGA’s events are the Mid Amatuer, Match Play, Team Championship and Indiana Women’s Amateur Championship.

IWGA President’s MessageBy Michelle Smith

2012 Annual 31

Rade Savich came to the United States when he was 14 years old. It wasn’t until he graduated from Central Michigan University that he first became interested in golf. As he began to develop a passion for the sport, he taught his daughters, Milena and Ariana, how to play. Both girls grew up playing on the Indiana Junior Golf Tour and developed their skills through tournament competition.

“The Indiana Junior Golf Tour is extremely well organized and provides a great opportunity for a kid to participate at their level and yet be able to move up to higher levels when they are ready,” Rade said. “The program provided my girls with confidence in themselves and their games, which ultimately led to higher levels of golf as well as college golf.”

This summer Rade wanted to take Milena and Ariana to Serbia because they had never met his family. However, since both girls play collegiate golf, he wanted to find a way to make the trip without the girls being away from golf for too long.

“I began researching golf tournaments in Europe and I stumbled upon the Serbian Golf Association,” Rade said. “My first impression was, ‘No way do they have golf.’ Upon email exchanges and skyping with the national coach, the relationship was born.”

In the end, Milena and Ariana were invited to represent their father’s homeland of Serbia in the Women’s World Amateur Championship in Turkey last September.

Before the tournament began, Rade took Milena and Ariana to Serbia to meet his family and the small golf community. In Belegrade, Serbia’s capital, golf is becoming more prominent, especially among the country’s youth, however not as many adults are familiar with the game.

“My dad wanted us to help promote golf in smaller countries like Serbia, and get closer to our heritage,” Ariana said. “Playing in this event helped us do both.”

Because this was the first time Serbia was represented in the Women’s World Amateur Team Championship, the Savich’s said the support was tremendous.

“There was a lot of excitement,” Milena said. “The President of the Serbian Golf Association,

his wife, the secretary, her husband, and our coach, Nebosja Lazic, along with his wife, including all three boys from the men’s team were there to watch us play the final round,” she added.

Milena and Ariana represented Serbia well and their backgrounds in college golf prepared them for this event. Milena, 22, began her career at the University of Michigan, where she spent one year. She then transferred to the University of Georgia and graduated this past December. Ariana, 20, is currently a junior at the University of Missouri and is a strong asset to her Division I team.

Unlike college golf, the format for the Championship was aggregate best ball. Each team had three participants and two scores were added together daily. Jelena Latinovic, a player from Arkansas State, was the third player selected for Team Serbia. However, a few days prior to competition something came up, preventing Jelena from participating, and leaving Milena and Ariana at a disadvanatage with just two players.

“Without our third player, we had to count both of our scores, so there was little room for error,” said Milena. “We were in 20th place after the first round, which was awesome. Even though we didn’t keep that pace, we beat quite a few teams with all three players which was an accomplishment itself.”

Milena and Ariana fired daily totals of 150, 158, 160, and a 153 during their final round, with Ariana’s impressive even-par 72 to wrap up the tournament.

“Even though I didn’t play as well as I had hoped during the week, I was proud of my come back on the last day,” Ariana said. “Milena and I are each other’s biggest supporters and it was so much fun experiencing this together.”

The Savich’s finished 44th out of the 56 teams that participated.

“The scores weren’t what made the tournament good or bad though,” Milena said. “Playing on a team with my sister was awesome. We were given a chance to learn about other cultures and it made us both realize how special it is to play this game we love. Golf is the same everywhere and that is the one thing we all had in common.”

Meghan Potee’s successful season began back in May when she won the IWGA Match Play Championship at Harrison Hills Golf Course in Attica. Potee, from Noblesville, Ind., was seeded sixth after firing a 3-over-par 75 in the opening round qualifier and went on to defeat some of the state’s best players, claiming her first match play win.

In early July, Potee finished 7th at the Indiana PGA Women’s Open at Hickory Stick Golf Club in Greenwood after firing a pair of 74s. Later that same month Potee won her first State Amateur Championship and by a seven shot margin, with an opening round, 3-under-par, 69, followed by a 1-over-par, 73, and a final round 1-under-par, 71. Potee has now won all four women’s major tournaments in the state at some point during her career.

“That is a really cool accomplishment,” said Potee. “I love Indiana golf because we grow up with all of these girls and it’s really fun getting to play with them.”

Potee also qualified for the 2012 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship, which she participated in last August.

“Being named Player of the Year is a really big honor. I had such a good summer and these tournaments really got me motivated to play well at Kansas this year.”

KU Junior Potee Wins Match PlayAttica, Ind. – Chilly temperatures during the final round did not stand in the way of two top college golfers competed for the title of IWGA Match Play Champion, May 30- June 1. On day one, 41 women competed at Harrison Hills Golf Course in the stroke play qualifier vying for one of the 16 spots in the match play competition.

After earning the 16th and final seed, Amy Thompson, a junior at the University of Indianapolis, knocked out the number one seed, Taylor Gohn, in the morning, and last year’s defending champion, Kristtini Cain, that same afternoon. After her impressive rounds of golf on Thursday, Thompson set a few goals for the final round. “I just want to stay in it tomorrow,” said Thompson. “I need to put myself close and make birdie putts.”

While Thompson was competing, Meghan Potee, a junior at Kansas University, was knocking out players one-by-one. By Friday morning, there were four players left: Amy Thompson, Briana Midkiff, Meghan Potee, and Kristi Cardwell.

In the morning match, Thompson’s luck finally ran out. Briana Midkiff, a freshman at the University of Iowa, defeated Thompson 5 & 4, while Meghan Potee defeated Midkiff’s teammate at Iowa, Kristi Cardwell, 3 & 2.

Potee and Midkiff advanced to the finals Friday afternoon. Potee birdied the par-3, 17th to go 1-up in the match and halved the 18th for the win.

Smith Wins IWGA Mid-Amateur Championship

Henryville and Sellersburg, Ind. - Ft. Wayne’s Michelle Smith outlasted two former Champions to capture her first IWGA title in the Mid-Amateur Championship. Her 4-over-par 148 total was a shot better than two-time Mid-Amateur Champion, Tobi Herron, and two shots

ahead of defending champion, Nina Whalen.

Smith was the only player in the opening round to better par, firing a 71 at Champions Point Golf Course.

All three of the contenders struggled on the opening nine of their final rounds at Covered Bridge. Smith fired a 2-over-par 38 and Herron posted a 37, giving Smith a one shot lead heading to the back nine.

A bogey on the par-4, 10th hole, moved Smith into a tie with Herron. The lead was quickly given back to Smith after Herron suffered a double-bogey 6, on 11. Smith would never relinquish the lead. She finished the back nine with a 3-over-par 39, equaling Herron’s back nine, and finishing the Championship one shot ahead.

Whalen’s back nine charge came up just short as she carded two birdies and a bogey on the back for a 1-under-par 35. The Indianapolis resident finished third overall and collected the Senior Division Title by 14 shots over Sellersburg’s Susan Peters.

The IWGA Mid-Amateur Championship is open to Indiana Women Golfers who are 25 years of age and over. The field was flighted after the first round with the low 12 players making the Championship Flight.

Other Flight winners included: First Flight: Lisa Cook, Second Flight: Joan Belschwender, and Third Flight: Denise Werner.

Carmichael and Cole Claim Second IWGA

Team Championship TitleMartinsville, Ind. – Indianapolis’ Julie Carmichael and Noblesville’s Courtney Cole captured their second straight IWGA Team Championship by a single shot at Foxcliff GC in Martinsville. The duo fired a 3-under-par 69 to win by one shot.

“We know how to ham and egg it really well,” said Cole. “We were fortunate to have several birdies today which definitely helped.” The team combined for 6 birdies including four in the last five hole stretch, birdieing the sixth, eighth, ninth, and 10th holes.

Three teams finished in a tie for second place. For Carmichael, a member of the Indiana Golf Hall of Fame, it was her 10th IWGA title.

Cardwell Wins Her First Major TitleGreenwood, Ind. – “I’ve never won one of these bigger tournaments,” said Kristi Cardwell, a senior at The University of Iowa. “I’ve come in second place before in a college tournament after finishing 4-under-par for 54 holes, but never first.” With an impressive 1-under-par 141 finish at Hickory Sticks Golf Club, Cardwell became the 19th winner of the Indiana PGA Women’s Open.

One hundred players endured brutal temperatures and long rounds during the two-day stroke play competition. After day one, Butler University senior, Julia Porter, was at the top of the leader board after firing a 2-under-par 69.

Porter teed off in the last group on day two, along with Carlee Cossell, Rachael Pruett, and Breanna Patz. Porter’s nerves seemed to get the best of her though, as she started with three bogeys on her first three holes, falling out of the lead.

Two groups in front of Porter, Kristi Cardwell got off to a very different start.

“My first birdie of the day was on hole three,” said Cardwell. “Yesterday I missed that green completely but today I knocked it to 12 feet and made the putt for birdie.”

Cardwell went on to par the par-3, fourth hole, but on the par-4, fifth hole she hit her tee shot into the bunker.

“I hit my shot out of the bunker to two feet and made the putt for birdie. That string of holes was the highlight of my round,” said Cardwell.

Cardwell was 4-under-par heading to the back nine and her play remained consistent as she made par on holes 10 through 16. However, on the par-3, 17th hole, Cardwell left herself in a tricky spot after landing her tee shot in the right rough with very little green to work with. Calmly, she chipped it close and walked off with what looked like another easy par.

Although she bogeyed her final hole, Cardwell secured herself a 1-under-par finish, which was better than the rest of the field.

“Everything was on today,” said Cardwell.

Finishing in second place with an even par 142 was Michelle Nash, a former Butler University player.

Columbus, Ind. – Noblesville’s Meghan Potee began the week with an opening round 69 at Otter Creek Golf Club at the IWGA Women’s State Amateur Championship. Over the course of three days, Potee never wavered from the top of the leader board, posting a 1-over-par 73 on day two and a 1-under-par 71 on the final day of competition. Potee amassed an impressive three day total of 213 and a seven shot victory over Newburgh’s Kayla Katterhenry.

“I think the first day was one of my best rounds in a while,” said Potee. “I hit my drives in the fairway and made more birdies than I did in the other two rounds. I hit my driver really solid as well and only missed two greens.”

Potee, a junior at The University of Kansas, has now won four events in the state, which include the IHSAA Girls High School State Championship, Women’s State Open, and the IWGA Match Play Championship.

“It’s a pretty cool thing and I’m really excited about it,” said Potee. “I’m going to come back next year and try to win one of these tournaments for the second time. I’m pretty proud of my play this week.”

Despite Potee’s opening bogey on the par-5, first hole, she was able to finish under par with three birdies on holes 2, 4, and 12. Potee’s only other bogey on her scorecard was on the par-4, 16th hole. After an errant tee shot forced her to punch out from behind a tree, Potee missed the green short and was unable to get up and down.

Newburgh’s Kayla Katterhenry fired a 4-over-par 76 on day three, which was enough to claim second place in the Championship Flight.

“I feel pretty good with how I played,” said Katterhenry, a senior at Castle High School. “I struggled on the front nine today because of nerves, but I’m proud of the way I fought back and played 2-under on the back nine.”

Katterhenry started off the day using a golf cart but dropped it after the sixth hole.

“I think dropping the cart and walking helped me with my rhythm,” said Katterhenry.

Katterhenry, the 2011 Indiana Girl’s State Junior Champion, finished tied for second at the North-South Junior Championship at Pinehurst, NC with a three-day total of 222.

Like Potee, Plainfield’s Breanna Patz, also fired an impressive final round 71 and was one of only four players to break par, moving her into third place for the Championship.

Potee had an impressive summer, with two IWGA wins, and qualified for the US Amateur Championship.

Dear Indiana Golfer,

It is indeed an honor for me to take over as President of the Indiana Golf Foundation. I’m truly looking forward to my three year term and have big shoes to fill in order to replace Steve Baker. Steve did a fantastic job leading the Foundation for the last 12 years. He was instrumental in the construction of the Indiana Golf Office and the Gongaware Junior Golf Academy and it is due in large part to his efforts that the Foundation is debt free.

As we look to the future we now need to build a solid reserve fund so that we are able to sustain and grow our many junior golf programs. These are

exciting times for Indiana Golf and for the Indiana Golf Foundation as we have recently added The First Tee of Indiana Chapter under the Foundation umbrella.

Adding The First Tee of Indiana will give us the potential to reach tens of thousands of kids throughout the state. In addition, we are implementing an outreach program into Boys and Girls Clubs around the state and are introducing the PGA Junior League Golf program to Indiana youth in 2013. We will also continue to offer one of the best Junior Tour programs in the country that will include over 70 events in 2013. Finally, our Academy sessions will reach over 600 kids this coming summer.

I encourage you, as a golfer, to support the Indiana Golf Foundation by making a donation that will enable us to continue to offer junior golf programs at affordable prices so that we can introduce the next generation of golfers to this great game.

I hope you have a wonderful 2013 golfing season.

Sincerely,

Jack BarberPresident, Indiana Golf FoundationPGA Professional, Meridian Hills Country Club

IGF President’s MessageBy Jack Barber

2012 Annual 39

Evan Mathias has truly inspired others through his determination, success, and unfailing persistence both on and off the course. Despite the physical challenges life has thrown his way, Mathias has been playing golf ever since he was given his first set of plastic clubs and has never looked back.

Born with defects in both of his legs, Evan had no ankle joints, was missing one knee, had very few bones in either foot, and no fibulas. When he was 8 years old, he had his first surgery, removing his left foot above the ankle and his right leg above the knee. On January 29, 1997, just one month before his first birthday, Evan received his first pair of prosthetics and said he was walking like it was natural.

“I never really saw myself as disabled,” Mathias, from Portland, Ind., said. “I see myself like any other 16-year-old kid. My parents and family never treated me any differently or allowed me to act any differently from my cousins or friends, so I never thought I was.”

When Evan turned 10, he began to take golf more seriously and realized he might have a lot of potential. His mom began researching amputee

sports and she came across the National Amputee Golf Association’s (NAGA) website and thought it would be a good fit. In 2006, Evan competed in his first NAGA Tournament in Circleville, Ohio.

“After that event I was hooked,” Mathias said.

Last summer, Evan attended the Gongaware Junior Golf Academy and worked with Academy Director, Roger Lundy.

“Evan was an inspiration to all the campers and staff here that week,” Lundy said. “He was here to improve his golf game and everyone kind of looked at Evan and probably thought, ‘I better not complain,’ because the fact that he never complained about the 100 degree weather every day or that one of his prosthetics was malfunctioning, is testament to what a strong young man he is.”

Evan has now played in three National Amputee Tournaments, including the 2012 National Amputee Open, which was held at Brickyard Crossing GC. The tournament was hosted by Indiana PGA Professional Kim

Moore, and 71 amputees participated in the three day tournament, as well as several non-amputees that played in the scramble.

Evan received a scholarship from the Indiana Golf Foundation, making it possible for him to participate in this event and attend the Academy.

“My family and I cannot thank the Foundation enough for what they did,” Evan said. “I was very excited to be able to show my fellow amputees how much I had improved. Playing with some of the best amputee golfers in the United States is a lot of fun and always helps me improve my game.”

Evan’s goal was to qualify for the International Cup, a Ryder Cup style tournament, in Lincoln, Neb., next fall. With his 15th place finish, he earned himself a spot in this prestigious event.

“It was a great feeling knowing that I accomplished the goal I set out for myself,” Evan said. “There were so many great golfers playing, so attaining this meant a lot to me.”

Growing up, Evan participated in several sports such as soccer, baseball, and basketball. Today, he competes in swimming and tennis, as well as golf on Jay County High School’s teams.

“While I still compete in tennis and swimming, golf comes out on top. I don’t really see myself as disabled, but in every other sport I am at a disadvantage,” Evan said. “Golf is a level playing field. I don’t need to be fast, just focused. Golf is so accepting of anyone with or without physical conditions and that is part of what draws me in, and being successful helps too.”

After high school, Evan hopes to play college golf, and has already received recruitment letters from several schools. With his continuous hard work, Evan has many good things to come.

“Evan is so humble and at no time considers himself to be different,” Lundy said. “He’s a normal 16-year-old kid with a passion for the game of golf and being the best at it. That is what is so impressive.”

Jack Nicklaus Speaks at IU Supporting The First Tee of IndianaOn October 15, 2012, Hall of Fame golfer, architect, and philanthropist Jack Nicklaus served as the inaugural speaker in the Wilson Delta Gamma Lectureship in Values & Ethics at Indiana University in support of The First Tee of Indiana.

The Wilson Delta Gamma Lectureship was created last fall by four-time PGA Tour champion Mark Wilson and his wife, Amy, an alumna and former president of IU’s Delta Gamma chapter. The fully endowed series brings a speaker to campus each year, and follows 20 other Delta Gamma chapters nationwide that have developed such lectureship series.

Prior to the lecture, a private dinner with Nicklaus was held at the Student Union, followed by a Question & Answer session with Nicklaus conducted by Mark Wilson. During the Q&A Nicklaus talked about his life on Tour, the importance of his family, and he shared tips on how best to prepare for tournaments. Nicklaus’ list of achievements and his genuine and inspiring demeanor touched all in attendance.

After the dinner concluded Inga Hammond, a former Golf Channel reporter, conducted the lectureship portion of the evening. Her first question was one any golf fan was dying to ask: “What did you think about the outcome of the Ryder Cup?”

“Well, early Sunday I did an interview with Sky Sport, a European Broadcaster,” Nicklaus said. “I saw the list of pairings and I saw four-and-a-half points I thought the U.S. would win. I knew if they didn’t win those matches, then things would be close. The U.S. played good, but ultimately the Europeans deserved to win.”

Nicklaus’ father taught him how to lose gracefully at an early age. Hammond, like most golf fans, was curious as to how he felt about Tiger potentially breaking his record of major wins, 18.

“Since Tiger was a little boy, he had my record posted on his closet,” said Nicklaus. “It’s definitely possible Tiger could do it. He’s a great player. But right now, no player on Tour has won five majors, so he would have to win more majors to get to 19 than any player on Tour has currently won. There are a lot of good players out there, but if he does do it, I’ll be the first person to shake his hand.”

The focus of the lecture was on values and ethics, and since golf is a game where the player is his own referee, Hammond asked Nicklaus if that is what first attracted him to golf.

Nicklaus said that the reason he first liked golf was because it is an individual sport and a player’s hard work directly relates to his success.

“Golf is the only game where a player is his own official,” said Nicklaus. “There is something really rewarding about finishing a round, winning, and knowing you did everything properly and honestly.”

Nicklaus is known to be a family-oriented man. He has been married to wife Barbara for 52 years, is the father of five children, and has 21 grandchildren. When Nicklaus began touring, he and wife Barbara made a rule that they would never go more than 14 days without seeing one another.

“That usually meant taking the kids Friday after school to my tournaments. One thing I wanted to make sure of was that my kids knew their father. Family is not a game, it’s your life,” Nicklaus said.

Nicklaus went on to share some of his most memorable occasions; the 2003 President’s Cup in South Africa which resulted in a tie, due to an agreement made by Gary Player and Nicklaus; winning The Masters in 1986 at age 46; his loss to Watson at Pebble Beach while vying for his fifth U.S. Open title; and his countless visits to countries around the world designing and building golf courses.

“Like my wife says, ‘There is no excuse for not being properly prepared.’ To the students at IU, everywhere you go in the world people are people and people are pretty nice. I’d like to see our country back together again. There’s no excuse for not being properly prepared at IU, I just hope the world is prepared for you.”

This great event raised over $68,000 for The First Tee of Indiana. Thanks to all who helped make this such a special night.

Phillips Becomes 87th Boys State Junior

ChampionWest Lafayette, Ind. - Mitchell’s Chad Phillips became the 87th Indiana Boys State Junior Champion after defeating Avon’s Mark Whipple 6 & 4 at Kampen Golf Course in West Lafayette.

Once into match play Phillips only saw the 18th hole once and didn’t trail until his semifinal match against Chesterton’s Jack Musgrave. Phillips stood on the 18th tee trailing by one, but was able to save par with a clutch four-foot putt to extend the match into extra holes. He went on to birdie the 19th hole and advance to the Championship, where he faced Whipple.

After Whipple won the par 5, 6th hole to cut Phillips’ lead to 1-up, Phillips gained control of the Championship Match, winning four of the next five holes to take a commanding 5-up lead that he never relinquished.

“Winning number 10 felt pretty good” said Phillips when asked at what point he thought he had the Championship in his grasp. “At that point I was running on adrenaline.”

With Phillips dormie on the 14th tee, Whipple hit his tee shot left into the hazard and conceded the match after failing to make a long bogey attempt.

This win puts Phillips’ name on the most decorated past champions list in Indiana Junior Golf.

“It’s going to be great seeing it (his name) up there every year and knowing it can’t be taken off,” said Phillips.

Phillips’ road to the Championship included finishing stroke play at 77-76, a total of 153, and earning the 18th seed in match play.

Phillips, a rising senior at Mitchell High School, is also a caddie at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick and pursuing an Evans Scholarship.

Morgan Nadaline Named 62nd Girl’s State Junior Champion

Franklin, Ind. – Anderson’s Morgan Nadaline fired a two day total of 148 to take medalist honors by six shots in the opening rounds of competition at the Girl’s State Junior Championship at Hillview Country Club. Nadaline went on to knock-out players one-by-one in the match play portion of competition, including Erin Ingram, whom she defeated in her final match.

“I was definitely nervous because the match was so back and forth,” said Nadaline.

The match was in Nadaline’s control for most of the day, until the par-4, 15th hole when Ingram was able to square things up. With three holes to play, Nadaline knew she needed to take back the match that was rightfully hers early on.

With a birdie the par-5, 17th Nadaline took a 1-up lead, heading into 18. Both players split the fairway on their drives, and laid up to around 100 yards for their third shots on the par-5, 18th. Nadaline knocked her ball to five feet, and Ingram put hers to twenty feet below the hole. With a two-putt par for Ingram, and an easy two-putt for Nadaline, Nadaline finished 1 up through 18 holes.

“I’ve known Morgan since I was 10 and I’ve played some of my best rounds with her,” said Ingram, from Richmond.

Last year Nadaline was named the Junior Player of the Year.

Other winners included: Maggie Rees (1st Flight), Mary Shipley (2nd Flight), Erin Bundy (3rd Flight), Kelly James (4th Flight), Maryn Hamilton (5th Flight).

VanDeventer and Sharp Capture Oakley Hoosier Junior

Championship Titles

Columbus, Ind. – Hometown favorite Michael VanDeventer captured the title at the Oakley Hoosier Junior Championship today at Otter Creek Golf Course. VanDeventer paired yesterday’s 2-over-par 74 with a 1-over-par 73 today, for an impressive two-day total of 147.

“I got off to a great start and was 3-under through five,” said VanDeventer. “I bogeyed four of the last six holes, but still finished strong.”

VanDeventer and Noblesville’s Jackson Wright were tied after 36 holes, which forced the two into a sudden death playoff.

Both players failed to get up-and-down on hole 10, their first playoff hole, so they headed to the par-5, 18th. Wright hit his third shot to about 20 feet, and VanDeventer stuck it to eight feet. Wright two-putted for par and VanDeventer sunk his birdie putt for the win.

“This really means a lot to me,” said VanDeventer. “I’ve never played in this tournament before, but this is my home course. It feels great to win here.”

Even though Wright didn’t come out on top, he still feels proud of his runner-up finish.

“Michael and I were shot for shot in the playoff,” said Wright. “Even though things didn’t turn out as I had hoped, I feel really proud to come in second.”

In the girl’s division, Kendallville’s Katie Sharp took the title after firing a two day total of 156, with a first round 8-over-par 80, and a final round 4-over-par 76.

“The wind was ferocious, but for some reason I usually play really well in wind,” said Sharp. “I was swinging the club well, putting well, and I got up-and-down a lot.”

Sharp’s round consisted of 12 pars, five bogeys, and one birdie, coming on the par-4, 12th hole.

“I certainly wasn’t expecting to win after shooting 80 yesterday but it feels great,” said Sharp.

Abigail Gleixner secured her second place finish after firing a two-day total of 157, with a 6-over-par 78 coming in her first round and a 7-over-par 79 in her final round.

“I played pretty good today, but I tripled the last hole,” said a disappointed Gleixner. “It still feels good to finish second. I’ve been putting a lot of work into my game so I am happy.”

Mahurin & Hardison Victorious at Mid-Am Team

April 22-23, 2012

Columbus, Ind. - Clarence Hardison and Joe Mahurin of Indianapolis endured brutal conditions and numerous challengers to win the 2012 IGA Mid-Am Team at Otter Creek GC. The team had to brave two days of high winds and tough course conditions to take the first tournament of the 2012 IGA season. It was a well-deserved win for the team that put themselves in a good position after an even par round of 72 in Sunday’s alternate shot format. In Monday’s best ball round, the team only carded a single bogey en-route to a 4-under-par round of 68.

They started play with four consecutive pars, before making a birdie at the par-5 fifth hole. A bogey at the par-3 eighth gave that shot right back and the team finished the front nine at level par. They quickly made their move on the back nine with a birdie at eleven, followed by back-to-back birdies on holes 13 and 14, and capped off an impressive back nine with a closing birdie on the par-5 18th hole.

After the duo posted their 36-hole total of 4-under-par (140) they had a long wait as six teams still remained on the golf course. However, none of the six were able to catch Mahurin and Hardison. The victory was bittersweet for Hardison as it was his last IGA event.

While Mahurin and Hardison enjoyed the spoils of victory, the round of the day belonged to John Cozart and Eric Gessner. The team used a hole-in-one by Cozart on the third hole and an eagle on the par-5, 14th to vault into a tie for second. They were joined by the teams of Todd Palmer and Curt Puckett and Brooks Snyder and Brent Hofman, who all finished the event at 3-under-par.

Noblesville, Ind. - Sean Rowen admitted he was a little shaky on his way to an opening round 71 at the Tournament of Champions at Fox Prairie GC.

“I played in the Mid-Am Team a few weeks ago but this was my first individual tournament of the year,” said Rowen.

Rowen shook off the rust quickly in the final round carding a 67 and posting three birdies on the back nine.

“I definitely got more aggressive coming down the stretch,” said Rowen. “I hit driver almost everywhere on the back.”

The only real difference Rowen saw between his first and second round was just convincing a few more putts to fall into the hole. His lone bogey of the day came at hole 11. After hitting his tee shot into the left rough, Rowen knocked his second shot over the green and could not get up and down for par.

This win marks Rowen’s third victory in the last nine months in IGA tournaments. He will defend his Indianapolis Amateur and Mid-Amateur titles later this summer.

First round co-leaders Sam Till, Jr. and Terry Werner posted second rounds of 74 and 73, respectively. Till and Werner teamed up last fall to win the 2011 IGA Senior Team Championship. Till, of Fort Wayne, and Werner, Dyer, both shot opening rounds of 68 at the two-day stroke play event.

Kenny Cook, Noblesville, who was only one shot out

of the lead after the first round, tried to earn his second win of the week by moving to 5-under after 27 holes. Cook, who won the Indiana Section PGA Southern on April 30 at Harrison Lake Country Club in Columbus, Ind., made bogey at the 12th and missed a short par putt at 17 to fall back to 3-under-par for second place.

Schumaker Coasts to Senior Open Title

May 9, 2012

South Bend, Ind. - Columbia City’s Bill Schumaker used his opening round 62 and a solid second round performance to coast to the 2012 Indiana Section PGA Senior Open. Matching his age with his first round score, Schumaker fired equal nines of 31-31 over the 6,100 yard South Bend Country Club layout. His flawless round included 9 birdies and 9 pars and gave him an 8 shot lead into the second round.

Fifty players played 36 holes on Tuesday as heavy overnight rains forced a four hour delay to Monday’s first round. The second wave of the first round which was originally scheduled for Monday afternoon was moved to Tuesday morning. Aftet the completion of the first round, the field was cut to low 60 players and ties and the second and final round was played Tuesday afternoon.

Schumaker added a second round 72 to his opening round and his 8-under-par total was good for an 8 shot victory over runner-up Dave Carich.

Schumaker’s second round was considerably more eventful with 6 birdies, 7 bogeys and just 5 pars. Schumaker denied possibly lacking focus on Tuesday with such a seemingly insurmountable lead.

“I’ve never had that big of a lead before”, stated Schumaker. “I enjoy playing the course so I focused on that and hoped that things didn’t go horribly wrong,” he added.

Schumaker’s cushion entering the second round was a result of his career best 9-under par 62 on Monday. “It just kind of happened”, said Schumaker of his opening round performance. “I hit very few bad shots and made a lot of 8-10 footers. It was the round of a lifetime.”

Schumaker, the owner and head golf professional at Crooked Lake Golf Course, opened the second round much like he ended the first, with a birdie on the 320 yard opening hole. While his string of bogey free holes wouldn’t last, there was never much of a threat to his lead. Schumaker’s closest competitors never were able to apply any pressure to the frontrunner.

This victory marked Schumaker’s third Senior Open title with wins in 2000 and 2003, also.

Another Spring Win for OusleyMay 14-15, 2012

Noblesville, Ind. – Watching Jim Ousley navigate Harbour Trees Golf Club during the Raymond James Indianapolis Open was watching golf the way it was meant to played. Relaxed and obviously having fun, Ousley pulled away from the field posting a second round 4-under 67 on his way to a three shot victory.

Ousley, PGA Golf Professional at Tippecanoe Country Club in Monticello, Ind., shot an opening round 69 but admits it wasn’t easy. “I had no control over where the ball was going yesterday,” said Ousley. “I just scrambled really well. Today I had great control over the ball and hit lots of greens.”

The lone bogey on his card appeared at the fifth hole when his tee shot on the par-3 buried in the bunker. Perhaps his most amazing shot of the day came at the ninth hole when he was able to make a birdie after

hitting his second shot off a tree root.

Historically, Ousley plays some of his best golf in the spring. The 2011 winner of the season opening Pepsi/Club Car Tournament Series event and with two top 15 finishes to start 2012, Ousley says he is in his best shape in the spring.

“I spend all winter working out with a TPI (Titlesit Performance Institute) instructor in Kokomo so I am in my best shape at the start of the season,” says Ousley. “Once summer hits I get busy at the golf course and there just isn’t the time.”

Amateur golfers Connor O’Neal (Carmel) and Brooks Snyder (West Lafayette) shared the first round lead with PGA Member Ryan Ford, Director of Golf at Pleasant Run/Sarah Shank Golf Courses in Indianapolis. All three golfers posted rounds of 68 during the final round.

In its 32nd year, the Indianapolis Open is open to any PGA Professional, PGA Apprentice or amateur who resides in the Hoosier state and has a handicap below 6.4. This year’s event was sponsored by Raymond James and Sterling Cut Glass.

Ousley Two for Two in MayMay 24, 2012

Monticello, Ind. - Jim Ousley was sad to see the month of May fall off the calendar. Ousley and amateur partner Scott Pieri fired a blistering 10-under-par 62 at the Indiana PGA Pro-Am to claim victory just nine days after Ousley won the Raymond James Indianapolis Open. “May was a good month,” said Ousely.

Ousley and Pieri, a former Indiana PGA Professional, each had an eagle and five birdies at Rock Hollow Golf Club for their first ever team event.

“Scott and I have been great friends for years,” said Ousley. “When he was a PGA Professional we always played our tournament practice rounds together on Sunday. We had a blast out there and both really played well.”

This is Ousley’s third victory at the Indiana PGA Pro-Am, previous wins in 2000 and 2005, and Pieri’s second victory on the amateur side of the team. He and Denny Hepler, Raccoon Run GC, teamed up to win the event in 2009.

Dynamic Duo of Runnels and Nichols Capture 2nd IGA

Senior TeamJune 6 – 7, 2012

Franklin, Ind. - Skip Runnels and Randy Nichols haven’t earned the reputation as one of best playing duos in the state without cause. In the final round of the IGA Senior Team Championship at Hillview Country Club, they kept their reputation intact.

Teeing off in the final group with first round leaders Ted Smith and Tim Miller, Runnels and Nichols got off to a fast start with two opening birdies. As the round progressed, Runnels and Nichols kept solid control of their lead.

“We knew we were going to have to play well to catch these guys, and our eagle on 7 got things jump started,” said Runnels.

Heading into the par-5, 18th hole, Runnels and Nichols had a one shot lead over Smith and Miller. Three out of four men birdied 18, and with a final round 62, Runnels and Nichols continue to be a force to be reckoned with during team events.

O’Toole Claims Northern Open for Third Top Five Finish of the Year

June 11, 2012

Culver, Ind- Noblesville’s Mike O’Toole fired an untouchable five-under-par 66 at the Indiana PGA Northern Open at Mystic Hills Golf Course. O’Toole, a PGA Professional at Riverside Golf Club, teed off in the morning wave, finishing almost five hours before the afternoon groups, avoiding the strong winds that picked up as the day progressed.

“I putted well for a change,” said O’Toole. “I kept the ball in good areas on the greens, where I knew I could be aggressive with my putts.”

This win marks the third top five finish for O’Toole this year, with a second place finish at the Indiana PGA Indianapolis Open, and a fourth place finish at the Indiana PGA Pro-Am.

Palmer Coasts to Monticello Open Victory

July 2, 2012

Monticello, Ind. - Todd Palmer captured the Indiana PGA Monticello Open Championship in a convincing fashion with a four-shot victory over fellow amateurs Jordan Leonard and Drew Imel. Palmer fired identical nines of 32-32 for an 8-under-par 64.

The 40-year-old Fishers resident has had success at Tippecanoe Country Club in the past, winning the Monticello Open in his last tournament as a professional in 2005. This was prior to the Indiana Section PGA making the event a sanctioned tournament.

“There are four or five holes you have to play conservatively out here”, said Palmer. “Otherwise you have a lot of wedges in your hand. I only missed three greens and I was on the fringe on a couple of those.”

Palmer’s two Indiana PGA titles go with his four Indiana Golf Association titles. Those victories came in the 2007 IGA Mid Amateur Championshi, the 2007 Mid Amateur Team Championship, the 2009 Mid Amateur Team Championship, and the 2010 Pepsi Indiana Golf Championship.

Jeff Schroeder, winner of the Indiana PGA Tournament Series in Fort Wayne

A Long Time ComingJuly 30, 2012

Fort Wayne, Ind. – Avon’s Jeff Schroeder claimed his first section win this afternoon at the Indiana PGA Tournament Series presented by Pepsi/Club Car at Pine Valley Country Club. Schroeder fired an impressive 2-under-par 68 to share the lead with Monticello’s Jim Ousley.

“I got off to a good start,” said Schroeder, who works for the Greg Norman Collection. “I birdied number 2 and I hit every green on the back nine.”

After all the scores were in, Schroeder and Ousley were forced into a sudden death playoff to settle the tie.

On the par-4, 1st hole, both Schroeder and Ousley found the tree line off the tee, and left themselves with chips just off the back of the green.

Ousley hit a decent chip to three feet, giving himself a good look at par.

Schroeder’s lie looked like he might have a difficult time getting up-and-down, but his soft touch led to a chip-in birdie and his first section win.

“I’ve been a member of the section for 31 years and this is my first win,” said Schroeder. “I hit a good chip and knew it would be close, but definitely had some good luck.”

Griffing Gets a WinAugust 27, 2012

Peru, Ind. –After firing a 3-under-par 69 at Rock Hollow Golf Club, Quinn Griffing’s first win of the summer seemed possible at the Indiana PGA Tournament Series presented by Pepsi/Club Car. Ryan Ford finished later in the afternoon, tying Griffing and shaking up the leaderboard.

The two faced one another head-to-head in a sudden death playoff.

Both players parred the par-4, first hole, and bogeyed the par 4, second hole, so they were forced to their third playoff hole.

On the par-5, third hole, both Griffing and Ford found the fairway off the tee and were able to go for the green in two. Griffing missed his second shot just right of the green, while Ford missed long and left, and his ball trickled into the hazard.

Ford got up-and-down for par, but Griffing got up-and-down for birdie, claiming his first win of the summer.

Griffing has been close all season, with two third place finishes coming in April at the Indiana PGA Southern Open and the past week at the Indiana PGA Senior Championship.

“I struggled a little bit at the beginning of the summer,” said Griffing, a pro at the Donald Ross Golf Club. “I started playing better at the State Open and hope to finish strong for the rest of the season.”

Griffing recently qualified for the third alternate spot in the National Professional Championship next June and has had seven top ten finishes this summer.

“A win feels good and I figured that shooting under-par would serve me well on this golf course.”

Montagano and Foster Take One for the Team

September 13-14, 2012

Noblesville, Ind. - Chris Montagano and Ivan Foster began the day just one shot out of the lead at the Indiana PGA Team Championship at Purgatory Golf Club. As the day progressed, Foster’s putter kept getting hotter and the team proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Montagano and Foster posted a two-day total of 129, with an impressive 63 coming in their final round.

“We got off to a good start,” said Montagano, the Assistant Professional at Sycamore Hills Golf Club. “We played well on the front nine and Ivan putted great all day.”

Their round consisted of eight birdies coming on holes 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 14, and 16. And Montagano sunk a 55 foot eagle putt on 18 for the win.

“We both played pretty well. Our birdie on one today was definitely a highlight for us,” said Foster, the Head Professional at Bridgewater Golf Club. “Our eagle on eighteen didn’t hurt either.”

Finishing just two strokes behind was Indianapolis’ John DalCorobbo and Brownburg’s Jeff Schultz.
