Tournament Recaps

The Wisconsin PGA Four-Player Pro-Am Series would make its annual pilgrimage to Destination Kohler on Monday. It marked the tenth time that the series has been fortunate to enjoy the hospitality and service of the five-star resort. Once again the most popular pro-am on the WPGA schedule would feature a sold-out field with several teams on the waitlist.

It hasn’t taken long for Michael Nagy to leave his mark on the Wisconsin PGA tournament scene. After moving to the area earlier this year to take on an assistant and teaching professional role at TPC Wisconsin, the Manistique, Michigan native has shown that he has the game to compete with the best professionals in the section.

There’s a path – winding though it is – that connects this week’s Wisconsin Senior PGA Professional Championship and the Senior PGA Championship, one of senior golf’s majors. Mick Smith successfully traveled that path recently, and on Tuesday afternoon he looked primed to do it again.

The National Car Rental Wisconsin Assistant PGA Professional Championship is a little tournament with big repercussions, where one 36-hole day of golf determines the players who will represent Wisconsin in the National Assistant Championship.

Monday marked back-to-back weeks for the WPGA Pro-Am Four-Player Pro-Am Series. After the rescheduled Suter Ward Group at Morgan Stanley Pro-Am kicked off the month of July last week, the series made the trek to Stevens Point CC for the Wilson Golf Pro-Am. It was the first time the series had made a stop in Stevens Point since SentryWorld hosted in 2018.

After a soggy month of June, the Wisconsin PGA and all the golf courses in the state were ready for a fresh start with the calendar flipping over to July. One of the casualties of the inclement weather in June was the playing of the Suter Ward Group at Morgan Stanley Pro-Am at Bishops Bay CC. Originally scheduled for Monday, June 3, the day was derailed by afternoon storms.

A string of under-par rounds from University Club of Milwaukee Head PGA Professional Andy Hansen would continue this past Monday. After starting off the year with a runner-up finish at the WPGA Match Play Championship and two top-five finishes at the Memorial Classic and Hornung’s Classic, the UW-Parkside alum would get the job done.

The Wisconsin PGA tournament schedule continued to cruise through the month of June on Monday. After weather got the best of the four-player pro-am series a few weeks back at Bishops Bay CC, the series was back in action at Abbey Springs GC.

The sunset was starting to look pretty darn good to Elise Hoven as it relates to her golf career. And what she did on a sun-splashed Wednesday at Meadowbrook Country Club with such great composure and such unflappable execution doesn’t change where Hoven sees herself a year from now.

Monday afternoon ended a crazy week of golf for Michael Crowley. The Morningstar GC head PGA Professional would cap off a run of seven straight days of competitive golf by teeing it up in the 53rd Hornung’s Classic at South Hills G&CC. If it wasn’t for a pro-am rainout on the Monday prior, Crowley could have tacked on another day to the streak.
