So much of our Program’s culture is based around helping each other perform at our best. We organize competitions to test our playing ability, study groups to pass our exams, and create unique events to better our community. On countless occasions, I was pulled up and over obstacles by fellow students. This is something we as PGA Professionals will inherently do throughout our career. Receiving the Joe Assell Leadership Award was a humbling recognition of having helped my peers succeed in their pursuit of PGA Membership. Thank you to Joe Assell, PGA, for his continued support and mentorship of our program.
