It was another action-packed Monday as the WPGA's first 18-hole stroke play events of the year took place on the Trevino Course at Geneva National Resort. For the fifth straight year the day featured the same format and offerings, with the Assistant Professional Stroke Play and Memorial Classic taking place simultaneously during the morning. All told the day featured nine different contests.
In addition to the golf contests the annual events are a celebration and remembrance of the individuals that we lost over the past year that were connected to the Wisconsin PGA or Wisconsin Golf Sales Association.
Close to one hundred WPGA professionals and salespeople participated on Monday.
Earning the Assistant Stroke Play win was Ozaukee Country Club Assistant Professional Jake Wisniewski. Wisniewski was able to hold off Tim Schroyer by one shot, as he'd post an even-par 72.
In the Memorial Classic the win would go to Craig Czerniejewski of Washington County Golf Course. Carding a 1-under-par 71, he'd defeat Jim Schuman in a one-hole playoff to claim the victory.
Providing a little added excitement, we'd like to congratulate Austin Gaugert on his 4th career hole-in-one. It came on the par-3 17th.
A big thank you goes out to the Wisconsin Golf Sales Association and Rolex for their support of the event.
Also deserving of recognition was Geneva National Resort & Club and their staff. They did a great job of hosting on Monday.

The first four rounds of the 56th WPGA Match Play Championship took place earlier this week. A field of seventy Wisconsin PGA members teed it up over the course of two days. A blustery day on Monday provided quite the challenge as the morning featured qualifying/seeding and the afternoon saw the first round of matches completed. Tuesday was another 36 hole day as the round of 32 and 16 in match play took place.
After the golf was completed the field was left with an impressive group of eight quarterfinalists. Moving on and surviving was David Bach, Michael Crowley, Ryan Helminen, Matt Kennedy, Tyler Siech, Mick Smith, Andrew Troyanek and Mark Voeller.
The group will complete the next round of matches on their own prior to the June 27 deadline. Then the semifinals and final match will take place on a date and at a site arranged by the WPGA staff in July / early August.
The WPGA would like to thank Washington County Golf Course for hosting and Nexbelt, Good Vibe CBD, and the PGA TOUR for supporting the championship

The Wisconsin PGA was back at it with some more tournament action on Wednesday afternoon. This go around the Wisconsin Golf Course Superintendents Association jumped on board as the Premier Golf & Utility Vehicles, Inc. Super-Pro visited The Legend Clubs (Bristlecone).
Sixty-eight players from throughout the state made the best of a chilly April day, as they looked to play well in the net modified chapman alternate shot format.
Taking home the division one title was the Whistling Straits & Blackwolf Run duo of Josh Grisa & Riley Thomson. The assistants in their respective department at Blackwolf Run were able to post a very impressive 5-under-par 66. With a 0.0 handicap the winning team did just enough on their gross score to hold off their Kohler co-workers David Bach and Chris Zugel by 1.05 shots.
In division two the team of Steve Fischer and Ben Rudolph would runaway with the win as they'd card a 62.65 net score.
The WPGA and WGCSA would like to thank Premier Golf & Utility Vehicles, Inc. for lending their great support to the Super-Pro for the 12th straight year.
The two organizations also appreciate the nice job that The Legend Clubs did in hosting Wednesday's event.

After a one-week delay the Wisconsin PGA tournament season got underway on Monday. The annual Spring Pro-Pro Better Ball brought together 96 WPGA professionals to the Beloit Club. It marked the second straight season that the club had hosted the better ball event.
Blocking out the cold and windy conditions the best and tying at the top were two duos from the Sheboygan area. The twosomes of Chad Sandee and Tim Schroyer were able to match the defending champions, David Bach and Josh Grisa. Both groups were able to post an impressive 4-under-par 68 in the four-ball stroke play format. In addition to being crowned co-champions the two teams will also be the top two seeds in the year-long Four-Ball Match Play Championship.
A big thank you goes out Harris Golf Cars, Homestretch Golf, PTE Golf and Bushnell Golf for their backing of Monday's event. It is truly appreciated.
We'd also like to thank everyone at the Beloit Club for being a great host site.
