When May dumps rain on us, keep your chin up and take advantage of these good days to sell a lot of rain and cold weather gloves. As you all are aware, May is when things really get going. Let us take the best care of our customers and make them realize how valuable their PGA Professional is.
One of the things that really separates us from a greens fee taker is our ability to play. Take some time and play with your members. Monday Pro-Am’s or a Section Pro-Am are great places to take your members to play. They really do think it is special to play with us, so get out and participate. It also gets you out of the office so you can enjoy those days of fair spring weather between the rain showers.
Congratulations to Ron Hoetmer, who was inducted into the PNWPGA Hall of Fame on April 29th. This was the first time we did a Hall of Fame induction with the PNGA. It is a great way to celebrate those who have given so much to this great game, alongside our amateur association partners. We look forward to many more celebrations like this in the future.
As we head into the heart of our season, remember that PGA Golf Professionals must be the best teachers of the game, the best players of the game and the best promoters of the game.

May is here and sunshine for more than two days in a row can’t be far off! There definitely seems to be an eagerness to play a little golf….I hope you are ready to encourage your players to tee it up.
The Korey at the Washington Open is looking good and I hope you are one of the professionals who will be joining us at
Glendale for a great event. Host professional Kenney Boyd is looking forward to showing you a good time in Bellevue. The Committee from Camp Korey has put together a group of big sponsors including major contributions from Advanced H2O and Niagara as well as twelve sponsors at $25,000 each! Our thanks to the group of sponsors who have combined to bring you a purse of $165,000, with $15,000 just in professional money for the pro-am! On the golf front, TaylorMade-adidas golf-Ashworth, Greg Norman, Sundog, and ClubCar are our big supporters. Thanks!
May is a busy month at the PGA of America. An email went out on May 2 and you can now pay your dues at any time by going to your account on PGALinks. If you prefer to mail a check, there is a link in your record to print an invoice. If you have an email address in your PGALinks profile you will not get a paper invoice in the mail. Notice I did not say a good email address! If you are expecting a paper invoice, if it does not show by the middle of May, it’s not coming. Please print one off PGALinks or call National for a copy. Remember, dues are payable no later than June 30. If the club pays your dues, get them started soon. Most late payments are from clubs mailing the payment too close to the June 30 deadline. Walk it through accounting. If you know someone struggling to pay their dues, whether it’s a senior with health issues or due to uncertain employment, please suggest they call me to discuss the options available. Just not paying dues has ramifications down the road and exiting through the right process will make re-entry much easier.
You will also start seeing information from National on how to enter the PGA Professional Championship, PGA Assistant Professional Championship and qualifying for the Senior PGA Professional Championship. These are your championships, plan to play. Illahe Hills will host the PPC, Tualatin is hosting the Assistants and Bear Creek will welcome the senior set. We’ll send more information when they start landing.
The Oregon Open Invitational will visit Awbrey Glen in Bend next month. Mark Amberson and Tim Fraley are looking forward to being our hosts. After many successful Northwest Opens Awbrey Glen knows how to throw a party.
We look forward to a good week in Oregon’s High Desert and hope you join us. Entries are available on the website for Oregon and you will see Rosauers Open Invitational entries before the end of the month.
The Member Handbook is at the printer and should be on its way to you fairly soon. We wait until this time of year to capture as many job, rep and program changes as possible. Be sure you recognize our advertisers who make this important resource possible.
By now I trust you’ve sampled the new Section web site. Our new Director of Communications, Marlena Cannon, is responsible for the design and hard work to update all the pages. Next on Marlena’s radar is a major upgrade to the technology behind ForeWord Press.
The structural change we made with our staff is starting to pay dividends. Molly Cooper added Membership to her already full plate and with Dana Rutledge and Jenna Moye sharing membership duties with tournament duties. We now have four of us who can help you navigate your membership questions. Training has been pretty intense the last few months but we are up to speed to provide you with the help you need.
Our 2011 charity initiative is up and rolling. Dream Shot is out there for you. Call me to get started with this interesting program. It is designed to help you increase your revenue per player….the only way we can make up for this bad spring weather! It’s a no lose deal for you. We are also building the web site for a PGA Golf Day marathon. Talk about a way to promote yourself…..you’ll like this one….stay tuned for details.
We’ve added a new destination pro-am for 2011 as we partner with Cruise Specialists and Holland America to cruise the Mexican Riviera, November 5-12. Look for final details very soon, but how does Cabo, Mazatlan and Pueto Vallarta in November sound?
Have a great May, remember your summer golf shop staff will be starting soon!

The Field & Sponsors:A competitive field of 208 players will be on hand for the 2011 Oregon Open Invitational, hosted by Awbrey Glen GC next month. 104 professionals and 104 amateurs are competing as four player teams in both team and individual competitions. Professional Derek Berg from Glendale CC is back to attempt to defend the title he won last year at Jupiter GC as an amateur. This time he enters the field as a professional. Other past champions sure to enter will be professional Brian Nosler of Dick’s Sporting Goods (2009), and professional Jeff Coston of Semiahmoo G&CC (2004, 1995). Also vying for the title will be 2008 & 2009 Pacific Northwest PGA Player of the Year Ryan Benzel of Battlecreek GC.
The Pacific Northwest PGA is proud to have a supporting field of sponsors including Bridgestone Golf, Sterling Savings Bank, Sun Mountain Sports, and Abby’s Pizza.
Schedule of Play:The Oregon Open is a 54-hole individual competition, beginning Tuesday, June 14th with tee times from 7:30 am - 2:30 pm off the first and tenth tees. Additionally, there is a 36 hole (best 2 of 4 net) team competition and pro-am four-ball. Results will be emailed nightly around 8:00 pm. The second round will be followed by a cut and repairing of the top 70 players and ties. Tee times and results will also be posted nightly at www.pnwpga.com.
Awbrey Glen GC:Once you step on the lush fairways at Awbrey Glen, you’ll realize how golfing was meant to be. Both challenging and fun, the 18-hole championship course stretches out over 7,000 yards. You will revel in the surrounding scenery: groves of age-old trees, rolling hills, rugged outcroppings of lava and red-hued basalt, spectacular views of the Cascades, and shimmering lakes. Awbrey Glen Golf Club received the Oregon Golf Club of the Year Award from the Oregon Golf Association in 2003.
History of the Championship:George Smith won the Oregon Open’s inaugural championship including a course record 74. Some of golf ’s most prestigious names were to follow in his footsteps such as Tommy Armour, Horton Smith, Chuck Congdon, Bob Duden, Bill Eggers, Jerry Mowlds, Pat Fitzsimons, Rick Acton, Peter Jacobsen, Jeff Coston, and Mike Davis. And only three men have won the title three or more times; Bill Porter (3), Rick Acton (4), and Bob Duden (8). The tournament scoring record is held by Brian Nosler at 198, set in 2010 at Brasada Ranch.

For many years, those around Northwest golf who viewed an 1886 cigar coming through the door knew it was almost certain to be followed by Harvey Hixson.
It’s not a stretch to call the Hixson family Oregon golf ’s first family. Especially with a lineup consisting of the PGA professional Harvey Hixson’s sons Doug, Danny (both professional golfers themselves) and David (a former greens keeper), daughter Barbara and
wife, Bridget, as the family glue.
“I decided golf would be my work and my love when I was 11 years old and growing up in Seattle,” Hixson recalled. “My mother encouraged me.” He learned with clubs out of a barrel and balls he found around the golf course.
“My mother had a bunch of hickory shaft clubs hanging in the garage and I finally got her to play golf with me. She hadn’t played in over 10 years. She said ‘what do we play for?’ I said ‘25 cents a hole and I will give you a stroke a hole’. She beat me scratch.”
Hixson keeps stories of his career in two scrap books—one amateur and one professional. “The kids used to tease him about it but now they know how important they are,” said Bridget. In 1948, Hixson qualified for the USGA National Junior as an Oregon entrant along with Dick Yost, Bob Gasper, Dick Estey and Fred Mueller.
Hixson had an illustrious career as an amateur, losing in the finals of the 1954 Oregon Amateur to Eddie Simmons on the 37th hole at Rogue Valley—Simmons’ home course. Hixson beat Ralph Dichter on the 36th hole in the semi’s. He won the Southwest Oregon Amateur at Coos Country Club, defeating Lou Stafford in the finals. Simmons, Dichter and Stafford are among the state’s all-time best amateurs.
Hixson’s professional playing career includes winning the Pacific Northwest PGA championship at Eugene CC in 1973, winning the Pacific Northwest Senior PGA championship at Eugene CC in 1981—which qualified him for the National PGA championship at Winston-Salem in NC, playing in the Senior Pro-Am at Ojai, CA, playing in the Senior Open at Portland and Tahoe, and playing in Bing Crosby’s clambake at Pebble Beach.
“I had the high score the first day at Pebble Beach,” he recalled, “and close to lowest the second day.”
Hixson’s career as a PGA professional had a blazing start.
“My first professional job came in 1954 as an assistant to Harold
West at Laurelwood,” said Hixson who moved to Eugene in his early teens. “After two years Harold left and I got the head job.” West went on to be head professional at Longview Country Club and Tualatin Country Club.
“Harold taught me a lot,” said Hixson, “including how to smoke cigars. Wendell Wood was a big influence, too. I caddied for him at Eugene.” Al Cross, who worked at Eugene Country Club with Harvey, recalls one time,
“Harvey came to work with this gaudy tie on. A member came in and asked him where he got it. From the background Wendell said ‘Salvation Army!’”
While at Laurelwood GC, he shot 26 with eight consecutive birdies. “No one can break that record,” said Harvey. “That nine is no longer there.” That day he shot nines of 34-26-33 on the par-36 layout, giving him 59 for the final 18.
Hixson left Laurelwood GC for a one-year stint as assistant to Larry Lamberger at Portland GC. The Hixson family then moved to Cottage Grove where Harvey was the head professional at Hidden Valley for 17 years—with a three-year gig as professional at Springfield in the middle. It was at Hidden Valley that his sons Doug (now head professional at Quail Valley GC), Danny (Dan Hixson Golf Designs) and David (now in the landscape business in Springfield) and daughter Barbara grew up and learned to play golf.
“The kids spent a lot of time at the golf course because either Bridget or myself were there all the time,” said Harvey. “Danny was a natural golfer. Doug worked at it hard. David was a natural, too, but he was more interested in cars and girls.”
Hixson left Hidden Valley to become head pro at Crooked River Ranch, his last professional position. At Crooked River, Hixson started the Hickory Shaft Open—where everyone played with hickory shaft clubs. When Hixson retired, Vern Smith took the tourney over at Ocean Dunes, where it still is played to this day.
This writer can attest to Hixson’s love of golf clubs. After playing in John Nuich’s Crab Pot near Crescent City, CA, Harvey asked me for a ride back to Eugene. His ride down, Mickey Shaw, was going to Medford. As we prepared to leave, Harvey asked me to open the trunk of my small Honda. He stuffed in five sets of old clubs that he had purchased in the area. He was a mainstay of Pat Sutton’s annual

antique club show at Riverside.
The Hixsons, who celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary April 21, 2010, now have seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
“I played my first pro-am with Dad at Emerald Valley when I was still an amateur,” said Doug, who served Emerald Valley as an assistant for 10 years before he opened Quail Valley GC as head pro in May of 1994.
“That tourney was the last time I ever threw a club,” Doug recalls. “I threw my driver early in the round and snapped it in two. Dad never spoke to me the rest of the round. I learned.”
“Dad never badgered us to play golf,” said Doug. “He supported us by driving us to junior tournaments all over the state in the summer, but there was never any pressure.”
Danny worked at Columbia Edgewater CC as head professional for eleven years before leaving in 1999 to pursue his first love: golf course design. He hit a home run with Wine Valley GC in Walla Walla. It was ranked as fifth best new golf course in the nation when it opened in 2009.
“I have been interested in golf course design all my life,” said Dan. “When I was 7 (in 1968), my dad took me to Eugene Country Club to watch as they remodeled the course. Tees became greens. I was fascinated. I took me 30 years to get to do it.”
As for playing with dad, Dan said, “He treated us like we were adults.”
Harvey Hixson’s life and career is tied to many other famous golfers in the Northwest. He played his first pro-am at Bend G&CC with Al Cross, a professional he still considers a close friend. Some of Hixson’s tournament highlights include a 62 with son Doug to win a pro-pro at Shadow Hills—where he beat Boots Porterfield in the morning and Bob Duden in the afternoon, and playing in the first Hudson Cup with Al Feldman. It was Hixson who persuaded everyone to leave the room when Bunny Mason got up to respond to a two-hour long roast at the Red Lion at Jantzen Beach. Hixson considers Boots Porterfield, Cooper Chitty, Al Mundle and Al Cross as his closest friends among PGA members.
Harvey, you have a million friends.
