The Wisconsin Section of the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (WPGA) will help mark a new beginning for Patriot Golf Day. In partnership with Folds of Honor, the PGA of America hosts the 15th annual nationwide Patriot Golf Day as part of PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) for the first time on Memorial Day Weekend.

The always fun Legend Challenge – Scratch Pro-Am made its return to the WPGA schedule on Tuesday. After last year’s event was canceled, the 2021 edition was bound to have a great field of talented golfers from throughout the section. In total, fifty-two teams would be fighting it out in the one better ball of two gross format. 

The Wisconsin PGA 4-player pro-am series hit the road again on Monday as this week’s trip took the series to Green Bay for the X Golf Oneida Pro-Am. Twenty-eight teams from throughout the section were looking to card a top notch score on the tricky old school layout.

Beautiful weather and a great venue was all that was needed for another fun day on the WPGA pro-am circuit. Monday’s event brought a sold-out field to Trappers Turn GC in Wisconsin Dells. With ripe scoring conditions the Lake and Canyon courses were there for the taking. 

The 55th playing of the WPGA Match Play Championship kicked off this past Monday as the event ventured to Geneva National Resort and Club for its second visit in the history of the event. This go around featured a slight twist though as day one featured the Player Course and day two let the remaining players tackle the Trevino Course. Throughout the two days the field of WPGA members battled it out in the seeding round plus the first three rounds of matches.

Action, Action, Action! There was a whole lot to keep track of on Monday morning at Hawk’s View GC. The WPGA kicked off its Player of the Year races with the Assistant Professional Stroke Play and Memorial Classic taking place simultaneously. The annual stroke play events are graciously sponsored by the Wisconsin Golf Sales Association.
