a little bit about how you gotto become involved with the PGA, your
role in what you're doing now.Yeah, so kind of interesting. I
actually grew up playing on our juniorgolf tour, played from by the time

(01:36):
I was in sixth grade all theway through high school, and then during
college I came back and did aninternship with the Northern Texas PGA. Did
two internships, a tournament operations oneand then more of a floater role where
I got to see all of ourdifferent operations, and then came back and
Hunter and I actually started running theAll American Tour together along with the named

(02:00):
Derek Green about two and a halfyears ago, and then I switched apartments
and put my public relations degree touse now working in the communications apartment.
Just having a blast. That's that'sgreat. Hunter. How about you,
how long have you been with theNorthern PHA and what's your role there?
Yeah? Absolutely, I kind ofhave a little bit of a different story

(02:23):
than Stephen, but basically grew upplaying junior golf. I'm originally from Nashville,
Tennessee, so grew up playing juniorgolf kind of throughout middle school,
high school, and then I actuallywent to Mississippi State got my degree in
Professional golf Management, where I becamea PGA member. Throughout that program,

(02:44):
I actually intern with the Northern TexasPGA in twenty seventeen. I did a
summer fall internship and that pretty muchgot my got my head in the right
direction, knowing that I wanted todo and run tournaments, you know,
and be in the golf industry,and really enjoyed everything I did throughout that
internship. And then once I graduated, UM after kind of the COVID year

(03:09):
there, UM got on staff withthe Northern Texas PGA in twenty twenty one,
is coordinator of All American Tour operations. And I was again like a
Steven said, I was with Stephenand then Derek Green who was manager of
the All American Tour at the time, and been he been there for been
here, I guess for two anda half years. And I actually just

(03:32):
got into the into the position asmanager started this January. So UM a
little bit, uh pretty much doall of the operations, all the financials,
pretty much oversee all of pretty mucheverything with the All American Tour.
So that's kind of a little bitabout my role. So you had a

(03:52):
degree in golf management and second,yes, sir, I did well.
I wish I had thought of thathit me, Greig, because I certainly
don't making money playing golf for sure. Hundreds one of our PGA members in
the section, so we have fourin the office now o PGA members.
Yeah, that is terrific. Um. I wore my shirt today. We

(04:12):
also own a publication called Youth SportsToday, And I've asked many of our
guests Nancy Lieberman and Carly Patterson andother athletes and stuff have been here,
what advice would you give to youngpeople who have maybe a love for golf.
Let's keep it to golf and wantto have a career but kind of
like me, can't quite break ninetyever, you know what your advice to
young people that just have a lovefor the game and maybe want to have

(04:33):
a career in it, do aninternship? Okay, do an internship with
the Northern Texas PGA. Okay.Were this year we're on track to hire
eighty interns. Oh, that's terrific. We've hired five hundred and eighty three
totals since nineteen ninety six. Soget an internship, your dip your feet
in the water, see see whatyou like, see what you don't like,

(04:56):
and go from there. Now,we'll come back this many times today.
But tell us how to get intouch with that? How could somebody
apply for that internship? Is there? Ye? So you can find all
of our internships on our both ofour websites uh NTPGA dot com. There's
about about us page and then internshipstab same thing on our Junior Golf website
and TPGA Junior Golf dot com.You find more about the internships there and

(05:20):
how to apply. We do seasonalinternships spring, summer, and fall,
and they coordinate with the college semesters. All right, that's that's great advice.
This is a really fun time forthe PGA. We just had the
PGA Championship up in Rochester, andI know it's gonna be coming here soon
in what two thy twenty seven,so I'll have the PJA Championship here and

(05:43):
it's a pretty exciting uh same dayfor brooks Kepta, but even more so
for a club pro, a teachingpro that has become a national celebrity.
Tell us a little about that.I mean that's the strength of the PGA
or your club teaching pros and thatcorrect, Yes, sir, yeah,
I mean just as a fellow PGAmember, I think with Michael Block doing

(06:04):
what he did this week was notonly huge just for golf itself, but
for PGA members in general. Imean it really it really showed like what
we can do on the golf course, and then I think it also showed
the ultimate story just more so ofwhat a club pro does, like all

(06:25):
the different avenues and even with mebeing in PGM, I know which again
professional golf management specifically, like,I think it opened up a lot of
eyes to wow, there is adifferent route to go, not just if
I can't play on tour or youknow, if I don't want to play
in college. I think it reallynot just for you know, the guys

(06:46):
that we have now showing the importanceof what we do, but also for
our next generation showing them that youknow, wow, this is this is
something that you know, maybe Ido want to become a pro and make
my way to the PJ Championship oreven just like the aspiring professionals that you

(07:06):
know that are trying to make ittoday, maybe I think that was a
huge opportunity need to open their iceto say, well, if he can
do it, like I can doit too. So I think it was
huge just for you know, justnot for Mike, not just for Michael,
but you know, he really representedus well and showed anyone that yeah,
we can make those goals happen.I saw this morning that he's already

(07:29):
been invited to play in the termof next week and for worth in the
Colonial, So that's that's just sucha great story right now. Absolutely,
it was really exciting too. Wehad we had two PJ members from the
Northern Texas Section playing in Rochester aswell. JJ Clean and Gabe Reynolds both
qualified the same way Michael did throughthe PJA Professional Championship out in New Mexico

(07:50):
three weeks ago. Now. Gabeactually played with Michael in the final round
of that both qualified together. Ithink Michael shot eight under in Gabe shot
seven under in that championship to qualifyfor the Team of twenty UM. So
it's really exciting to even root onour own. This the second year in
a row that we've had two PJAprofessionals from the Northern Texas section apply and
not apply qualify for the Team oftwenty in the PGA Championship. That's uh,

(08:15):
that's great fun. It's it's it'sas good success. Absolutely. Um,
you guys are Northern Texas PGA.How does it work with the PJA
Association. What is your role asan organization going forward? Yeah, so,
honey, we'll kind of kick thisback and forth maybe, but we're
one of forty one sections, sowe are similar to a MLB franchise or

(08:37):
an NFL franchise um, and thePJA of America would be the MLB or
the NFL, and we are likethe Dallas Cowboys or the Texas Rangers.
But what's unique about PJA of AmericaAs we operate about ninety nine five percent
independently, we don't have as muchoversight um as the Rangers of the Cowboys

(08:58):
do from their leagues and the nationaloffices. So we as the Northern Texas
section, it's great. We're prettymuch top five and all categories of all
the sections throughout the nation. We'revery big one geographically, we're very big
membership wise. We've over nine PAmembers now, so it's great. But

(09:20):
our relationship, obviously we're neighbors.We build our own state of the art
facility right next door to the newheadquarters in Frisco. We have two brand
new buildings and two acres of syntheticturf golf park called the Ronnee Golf Park
that's free and open to the publicanytime. Oh, that's right. We
see a lot of publicity about thefacility out there, and it just seems
to get better and better and betterand more exciting and more. Thanks that

(09:43):
were certainly, and I know it'shad a great impact and we'll continue to
have a great impact on the entirecommunity and on the economy. And I
know there's other features being planned outthere that will make that d area just
just a super traction for everybody.So that is great. I want to
come back talk a little bit aboutthe foundation, the North Texas PJ Foundation
in the girl's golf tournament. Letme take a quick second here to thank

(10:07):
one of our other sponsors, PranaHaven. Parana Haven is this wonderful little

you too, Parana Haven. TheNorth Texan PGA Foundation, tell us a

(11:11):
little bit about that. I knowyou have a lot of different aspects of
that, and thanks you guys helpingthe community, and that's really what we're
about on this show is giving backto the community, and you guys do
that in a big way. Sotell us a little bit about the foundation.
Yeah, our foundation was founded innineteen eighty three. It used to
be called the Northern Texas PGA JuniorGolf Foundation. In twenty nineteen, we

(11:33):
rebranded to just the Northern Texas PGAFoundation because really we do more than junior
golf. We have five key pillars, Military and veterans, college scholarships inclusion
internships, and then junior golf,which is our biggest and most public facing
one. You mentioned military, andand then there we're coming up on a

(11:56):
Memorial Day and some stuff and we'vedone some wonderful podcasts that'll be coming up
at the Metal Body Museum in Arlington, and with Folds of Honor, which
is the organization that provides scholarships tothe following children, following soldiers and first
responders. What is your role withmilitary? How are you helping? They
haven't getting involved in this. Sothe big thing that we do with our

(12:18):
Military and Veterans pillar is PGA Hope. So it's a national program. All
forty one sections have the ability torun it, and I believe most of
them do. And PJA HOPE standsfor PGA Helping our Patriots everywhere. So
within that we've been doing it formultiple multiple years now and PJA professionals can

(12:41):
sign up. They get certified inall sorts of different teaching techniques, so
the way they can teach somebody who'sin a wheelchair, or teach an apt
or teach people with limited mobility,and they teach clinics at their goal of
courses for our veterans. It's asix week program that anybody can sign up

(13:03):
for against nationwide, so not justin the North Texas section, and six
weeks of programming. It's one houror one to two hour clinic each week,
and then a graduation the final week, which typically is going out and
playing a couple of holes. Andthen what's unique about our section is actually
our PJA professionals that are involved arevery very passionate about it and growing the

(13:26):
program and keeping their past veterans involved. So they've been doing lots of play
days, getting together and going outand play nine or eighteen holes with past
participants next to current participants. Wedid a PJA Hope celebration. We had
them all come out to the RonnieGolf Park as I mentioned earlier, and
have some dinner and do different kindsof skills competitions and really just get to

(13:48):
know other veterans outside of their designatedprogram that they were in. We had
a great turnout for that, Almostfifty veterans came out. We also have
a great relationship with the Texas whendid Warrior Foundation and we just do a
few things with them. Very goodand I know again this will be on
your website and we'll come back tothat and any information you have about that.

(14:09):
The North Texas PJA Foundation has partneredwith the ascend An LPGA Benefiting Volunteers
of America for four years now,and I've noticed more and more partnerships between
PGA LPGA and promoting things in thecommunity. And you've got coming up the
Girls Golf Championship, I believe it'son July fifth. Tell us about that.

(14:31):
Where did that come about and howdoes that work? Yeah, so
basically I'll kind of go into thehistory here, Tommy, you know,
just with the event itself. Butit's kind of kind of a little bit
of a funny story. I mean, you know, it happens. Happened
during twenty twenty. I'm sure youknow, as you know, everyone's favorite
year, you know, going througha lot a lot that year, especially

(14:54):
golf. But you know, inJune of twenty twenty, the tournament basically
came to us and it was offeredas an exemption that year. UM.
So with that, with that beingsaid, UM, we basically had to
put together. It was kind ofa very quick process. So kind of

(15:15):
heard about it, I believe,like in May, like kind of right
towards the end of the spring.So when that happened, UM, we
we came up with what we calledthis series of events called our Girls Series
events, which we actually still haveto this day that we run. So
basically it's a series of events,um that we have certain exemptions for to

(15:37):
obviously allow our players to earn toget into, um, you know,
our Championship. But in twenty twentywe started that series for the girls and
basically when we did that, um, it was it was very quick.
We we kind of came up withI think it was I believe it was

(15:58):
seven Girls Series events that first summer, so we were just really knocking out
Girls Series events. We we helda lot of them, if not all
of them at Cheryl Park and thenwe did that first Girls Championship in August
actually at Cheryl Park golf course aswell, so we were out there for

(16:18):
the first Championship. Like I said, it just a special exemption that came
about to us, and you know, we really hit home with it and
it was something that I think afterthat first year, we were like,
we have to keep this exemption,but kind of where can we go next
to kind of upgrade you know,the event itself. So that's when we

(16:41):
actually worked with Cody Roy and MikeMcCabe over at the golf clubs at the
Tribute and got to schedule. It'sover there where it kind of all began
in twenty twenty one. Basically,what we did was we came up with
a three day you know, aswe as we did before in twenty twenty
a three day eventum where we youknow pretty much came up. We did

(17:07):
the first two rounds and what wedo are doing this year as well as
the first two rounds are at theTribute Golf Links and then our final round
after the cut line is at OldAmericans. So, um, you know,
we couldn't thank Cody Roy and MikeMcCabe enough for just everything that you
know, they they have helped uswith and just you know gotten us through

(17:29):
with the with the event itself,but they are a very prime component to
to our process. So couldn't thankthem enough. But I mean, you
know, like I said, startedin twenty twenty. Ever since then,
we've just kind of kept it going, and um, it's been it's been
awesome. It's been a really coolopportunity. It seems to be the UH

(17:51):
this year's evolution of Back in theearly days of the LPGA when we had
to shootout, we had the highschool grows qualifying a qualifying event and the
top two girls or so got toplay in the event. And our very
first UH qualifier was Mattie Surik,And she has gone onto a college career
and absent and she is now fulltime on the LPGA tour and doing well.

(18:17):
She's we're seeing her on the weekend. So she is our very first
qualifier. So so not only dothe girls have an opportunity for that experience
to qualify, but there's some otherbenefits come from this tournament. What are
some of those? Yeah, Imean, I would say, you know,
the the ultimate benefit of not justthe exemptions, but it's really to

(18:37):
just get to play, you know, get the get the opportunity to get
to play in an actual LPGA event, You get to play with the pros.
Yeah, I mean, you can'task for really anything better, and
it's it's honestly like just to givewomen's golf that experience. I think that's
the biggest thing, um, youknow, with us at the Northern Texas

(18:59):
PGA. You know, not justthe men's game, but we want to
also make sure that we're growing thewomen's game just as much. So you
know, not just not just theopportunity to just get into the girls Championship,
but just have that just have theoverall, you know, opportunity just
to get to play in a professionalevent and get to say that I did

(19:21):
that, Um, something that noother section you know, that they get
to do and we get to andthat's that's something that we definitely value.
I like that. That's great.Now, there are also some scholarships involved
that the Foundation does and other programs. Tell us a litle about that.
That's that's an important part of whatthe foundation does. Yeah, So one
of our key pillars, one ofthe other ones other than junior golf and

(19:44):
military veterans, is college scholarships.Um. We started giving out college scholarships
when the foundation was founded, andall the way through twenty twenty two,
we've given an over four point twonine million dollars in college scholarships to over
six hundred and seven five students graduatinghigh school seniors. This year, we're
on track to break another record.Knock on wood here, but we're going

(20:07):
to do close to seven hundred thousanddollars in scholarships to a record eighty graduating
high school seniors. That is thatis really good. We've talked about a
lot of things, and I knowthere's so many facets to what you do
the North Northern Texas PGA and thefoundation. What do we miss? Tell
us something that that maybe we hadn'ttalked about that you like for our audience

(20:30):
to know, and this is kindof year time to let us know what
you what we should know. Yeah, we just talk a little bit about
our junior golf pillar. That's really, like I said earlier, our most
public facing pillar. That's what Hunteris dealing with day to day on the
All American Tour. He and theAll American Tour team are really the apex,
the highlight of the junior golf pillar. But we start kids now with

(20:52):
the Ronnie Golf Park, his youngestthree years old. The Ronnie Golf Park
is designed for group based programming afterschool and summer camp programming for ages three
to fourteen years old. It's reallydesigned for the kids who are just picking
up the golf club to the beginnerskill level where they've picked it up but

(21:14):
they're not quite ready for tournament golf. So they come in after school,
they do a fun warm up,and then they do whatever golf activity or
coaches have planned for them that day, and the older kids ended with a
what we call the Goat Challenge.The Ronnie is named after a long time
PJ professional at Sheryl Park. RonnieGlanton has been National PJ Professional of the

(21:37):
Year, which is the highest honoryou can earn as a PJA member.
So we decided we're going to namethe Ronnie after him. And so you
start kind of on the player pathwaywith the Ronnie and then you move on
to the Prep Tour, which isour beginner series of tournaments nine whole golf
nine whole tournaments summer in part threecourses summer on actual golf courses, and

(22:00):
then you move up onto the MedalistTour one whole, one day, eighteen
whole events for our intermediate skill levels. It's ages eleven to eighteen all right,
eleven and nineteen excuse me, brokeninto age divisions, and then once
you graduate from the Medalist Tour,you move on to the All American Tour,
which is thirty six whole elite levelof junior golf at the Northern Texas

(22:22):
PGA earning exemptions into Girls Championships orLegends Junior Tour events, earning aja GA
PBE stars. It's really hard tobeat, very competitive. I mean this
last event that we ran, Ithink every champion was under par with The
winner of the older division was whatfive under? Well yeah, yeah,

(22:45):
yeah, it was four under.We had two for it's high at four
unders, so it was it wasreally some great golf throughout the weekend.
That's terrific. I know. Manyyears ago we were meeting with Mark Harrison
and he gave me a junior golfbag that I believe he was working with
a program with the YMCA back thenfor junior golf, and I gave it

(23:08):
to my grandson who was seven yearsold at the time. He pretty much
warred out and gave it when hegrew out of it, gave it to
his cousin, my other grandson,and now that golf bag is with my
seven year old granddaughter. So sogrowing the game. I know you turn
that use that term often with growingthe game, and that is just one

(23:32):
very small example of how Mark grewthe game through your YMCA program. So
that's that's wonderful to know and Iknow that's a big part of what you
guys do. I think one youbrought up Mark, and we talked about
PJ Frisco earlier. One thing thata lot of people don't know is PJ
Frisco would not have happened without ourCEO, Mark Harrison in twenty eleven.

(23:56):
Really the vision started in twenty eleven. He was driving his son to a
golf lesson. They were in thecity of Irving and he passed a sign
on the side of the road fora public use space. They were accepting
bids for what to do with thespace. So he had the vision of

(24:17):
an urban golf park, doing nineholes, synthetic teas and greens, and
then building an office for the NorthernTexas PGA on that space. So we
got Bowelling involved him to do aquick sketch. They talked to the city
of Irving, they talked to thecity of Dallas, they talked with Addison,
lots of different cities and nothing quitewas working exactly how he envisioned,

(24:41):
so he started a junior tour.Parent actually David Ovard reached out to him
about they were wanting to get someland in Frisco and build a golf club
in Frisco that was accessible for familiesin Frisco to be able to join up
there. So they started talking.They looked at the land what is on

(25:02):
what is now PJA Frisco, andMark said, well, this is great.
It was a lot of land here. Let's let's get the PJA of
American volt and slowly over the twentysixteen to twenty eighteen involved and in twenty
eighteen they officially announced PJA Frisco.So what started as an urban golf park
has turned into a five hundred andfifty room omni resorts, two championship golf

(25:25):
courses, a ten whole part threecourse, a massive driving range facility,
the new home of the PGA,the PGA District, and ultimately what was
Mark's original goal, an urban golfpark in the Ranee and a new final
home for the Northern Texas PGA.That's a that's great vision and I know,

(25:45):
I've enjoyed over the years working withMark in various aspects of golf and
golf tournaments and charity tournaments and things. So I think it's wonderful and it's
it's fitting that the LPGA is nowheadquartered here or yeah, absolutely, tell
us once again a couple of times, tell us a little bit more about

(26:06):
the girls tournament, the dates,location, how people can get involved.
Yeah, so basically the dates forthe the Championship is July fifth through July
seventh, so again that Wednesday throughFriday. But basically you know how you
can get more involved, and it'sall on our NTPGA Junior Golf dot com

(26:26):
website. But if you go onour tournament schedule basically all of our tournament
information, you'll see which tournaments havethose certain exemptions. Basically all of our
summer events, obviously for our GirlsSeries events um still have spots open up
if you want to want to register, but all of our summer events have

(26:48):
our top ten percent of the ascendantsLPGA benefiting the OA Girls Championship Qualifying Field.
I know that's a long long namethere, but basically in that in
that field, we take the topten percent and We do that after round

(27:10):
two, so once the event isover with, and then those certain amount
of girls will get into the event. So that's pretty much how you have
to qualify to get in. Wealso have we work with the Southern Texas
PGA section and the Legends Junior Tourboth have forty exemptions each. We have
a total of seventy two exemptions,so really cool to get to include not

(27:34):
just girls from our section, butfrom the Legends Junior Tour, Southern Texas,
pretty much all over Texas and weeven have some girls who come from
other states as well that come andplay and want to be a part of
the experience. So not just notjust really open to uh, you know,
just girls here in Texas. It'sreally open for everyone if they want

(27:57):
to try for it, but it'sum for us specifically. You do have
to be in Northern Texas PGA JuniorTour member UM to get you know,
obviously sign up for those certain events, but um, but yeah, that's
pretty much qualification for it, andthen we go right into the tournament.
That's right. I know, weplan on being out there with you sports
