Each year, numerous graduates make great contributions to their respective facilities, communities, and Sections. This past year, there were 4 almuni to earn the nods for a Section Award, as well as our first two Quarter Century Members.
Evan Godfrey, PGA, won the Player Development Award for the Dixie Section (2012); Bela Nagy, PGA, was awarded Merchandiser of the Year Award - Public; Eric Johnson, PGA, was named the Horton Smith Award winner for the Tri-State Section, and Jeff Adkerson, PGA, was named PGA Professional of the Year for the Gulf States Section.
Sean Cracraft, PGA, and Blane Merritt, PGA, achieved Quarter Century status this year.
In honor of the accomplishments of our alumni, the PGA Golf Management staff designed PGA Section Awards boards that are displayed in the GolfTEC-Hansberger Simulator Room to recognize our alumni who have won a Section Award. An individual board was hung in honor of Rod Perry, PGA, and his PGA Professional Player of the Year Award in 2012. These boards serve not only as recognition, but also as inspiration for current students to work hard and strive to be the best.
Congratulations to each of you, and we encourage you to continue to pave the way for current and future PGA Professionals.
