With the golf season in full swing the Wisconsin PGA was back on course on Monday as The Suter Ward Group at Morgan Stanley Pro-Am visited The Club at Strawberry Creek. The always popular event and venue drew in another sold-out crowd of 116 players. The day also marked the third 4-player pro-am in the past four weeks, and gave teams another chance to grab a spot into the coveted Oliphant Golf Management Pro-Am Championship.

It was another great day for golf on Tuesday as the first of the two annual WPGA Pro-Ladies events took place. The spring edition brought together another sold-out field of twenty-four groups, to enjoy Hawks Landing GC in Verona. After missing on the chance to host in 2020 due to the tournament being canceled, the club was back hosting the event for the first time since 2016.

The Wisconsin Section of the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (WPGA) will help mark a new beginning for Patriot Golf Day.

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.

After being cancelled in 2020, the WPGA / WGCSA Premier Golf & Utility Vehicles Super-Pro was back in action on Wednesday. The field of sixty-two players from various facilities made the trek to Wild Rock GC in Wisconsin Dells to enjoy the day.  Twenty-two teams were set to compete in the traditional division of play, featuring one WPGA affiliated professional and one WGCSA member from the same facility. The second division was made up of nine teams, which included all other teams including a pro/super team that did not have a handicap index.

Monday marked the start of the 2021 Wisconsin PGA 4-player pro-am series. This year’s series features eight regular season contests and the season ending Oliphant Golf Management Pro-Am Championship. The events have been in high demand and currently the Horseshoe Bay event in September is the only pro-am that does not have at least 25 teams registered.
