2021 Awards Program - Nominate a Deserving Member Today
08 July, 2021
Nominations for the 2021 PGA of Alberta Awards Program is NOW OPEN!
Each year the PGA of Alberta recognizes several Members and Industry Representatives for their achievements throughout the season and their career, as well as for their contributions to the Association and the game of golf. We encourage all Members and industry affiliates to become a part of our Awards Program by nominating an individual or facility that you feel is deserving of an Award.
In total, nine Awards are up for nomination which include the following:
- Apprentice Professional of the Year
- Class "A" Professional of the Year
- Club Professional of the Year
- Executive Professional of the Year
- Junior Leader of the Year
- Teacher of the Year
- Coach of the Year
- Retailer of the Year
- Sales Rep of the Year
The importance of the Awards Program, on both a Provincial and National scale, is something the Association does not take lightly. Under the guidance of the Awards Committee, the program has evolved over the years and we believe that by placing a strong focus on the Nomination Process, it will ensure that as many deserving individuals as possible are being recognized. In the past 20 years we have had the honour as an Association of recognizing 31 Provincial winners go on to win at a National level, 10 of which were Murray Tucker Club Professional of the Year recipients!
