NCGA TOURNAMENT PROGRAM The 2011 NCGA tournament season saw two out- standing players in Randy Haag and Jim Knoll win the Player of the Year and Senior Player of the Year, respectively. Haag won his third straight award and sixth overall, more than any other player since the award’s inception 40 years ago. Knoll won his fi rst Senior Player of the Year award by winning 11 events across Northern California, three of which were NCGA Senior championships.
say what a true honor it has been to be given the opportunity to lead this department that administers the largest championship program in the country. None of it could be possible without the terrifi c staff I work with each day, as well
as the countless hours put in by more than 200 volun- teers. I wish all of you who participate this year the best of luck and we look forward to the kickoff of the 2012 season. As always, if there is anything we can do for you please contact us.

While the NCGA celebrates these two players’ accomplishments, it’s also important to celebrate champions such as John Balsley, Jerry Thorsness and Armando Martinez, each of whom respectively won the three fl ights in the NCGA Net Amateur Championship. It also celebrates NCGA Women’s champion Devon Brown and Women’s Senior Amateur champion Sandy Woodruff. Moreover, it celebrates young and upcoming players like Casie Cathrea and Bryson DeChambeau, who captured the Junior Tour of Northern California Player of the Year honors for the Girls and Boys divisions. It goes without saying that there are many other NCGA champions, who are also celebrated. The NCGA tournament program is for golfers of ALL abilities. No matter your age, gender or ability the NCGA is likely to have a tournament for you. As the NCGA has evolved it has created new championships, so all golfers can enjoy the game. For example, the Junior Tour of Northern California just fi nished its fourth year of operation and already in that time the tournament schedule has grown from eight to 18 events. The NCGA Women’s Amateur has more than doubled its fi eld size in its short seven-year history. And the second an- nual Super Senior Championship held in early November was once again popular among participants 65 and older. Whether you are able to participate in the historic 109th NCGA Amateur Match Play Championship or the more recently established 19th Annual NCGA Net Amateur Championship in 2012, our hope is that you get the opportunity to experience an NCGA championship. The NCGA has one of the largest championships and events departments in the country to better serve and grow tournament golf across the region. Let us help you get involved in tournament golf by participat- ing in an NCGA championship.
