Houston Golf Association Place As the Leader in Participant Outreach in a Worldwide Network of 180-Plus Chapters Making A Diff erence A Year in G R H e 5 v i 1 e 0 w 2 2015 HGA Year in Review CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD’S MESSAGE Accomplishments of this organization never cease to amaze. Our volunteers and staff continue to forge ahead with new tasks. Th e only thing that changes in our mission to help make a diff erence in our community through golf promotion is that we strive do more. Undertaking the restoration and operation of Gus Wortham Park Golf Course is a perfect example of our organization’s quest to do more for the community. As you read this we are still raising funds for this project. We share pride with our title sponsor Shell Oil Company in the fact the tournament and HGA’s other golf-related activities generated a community impact fi gure of $2.316 million. Th at elevated HGA’s cumulative giving to more than $64.3 million since 1974. More than $60 million of that has come since Shell became our title sponsor in 1992. Tom Forestier Chairman of the Board Th e First Tee® of Greater Houston continues to hold its Houston Golf Association place as the leader in participant outreach in a worldwide network of 180-plus chapters. Programming reached more than 260,000 youngsters last year. Our HGA Academic Scholarship Program, established in 1996, surpassed $1.12 million by awarding seven $20,000 grants-in-aid. We are also very proud of our ongoing Shell Houston Open benefi ciaries – Chinquapin Preparatory School, Cenikor Foundation, Inc., and Project Joy and Hope. All of these organizations provide much-needed services in our community. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Th is is the 10th edition of HGA Year in Review and the 2015 booklet features a fi nancial report. Published rstfi in 2006, this printed piece is our eff ort to share the organization’s progress. Our current stakeholders com- prise a diverse group – Shell Houston Open sponsors and volunteers, members of Th e First Tee ® of Greater Houston and their families, HGA Junior Golfers, as well as those involved in our HGA Academic Scholarship Program. We continue adding new groups to that list. In 2014 we were excited about assuming operation of city- owned F.M. Law Park. Th at excitement continues because we are now assuming operation and restoration of Gus Wortham Park Golf Course. With help from a large group of supporters, plans call for the oldest continually operating golf course in Texas to be renovated for the enjoyment of Steve Timms golfers throughout the city. We urge you to review what President/CEO transpired in 2015.

Photography: - 3 - Houston Golf Association Organization broadens its outreach with new projects he year 2015 will go down in history as one fi lled with major milestones for our organization. TIn January City Council unanimously voted to enter in a public-private partnership between the City of Houston and Houston Golf Association, provided HGA met the fundraising goal to restore the historic Gus Wortham Park Golf Course. In December the City of Houston announced that HGA had reached its fi rst milestone by generating $5 million toward the restoration project. Per its agreement with City Council, the 107-year-old property would be ceded to HGA after a mutually agreed upon transition period. Recognized as the oldest continually operating 18-hole course in Texas, some believe the Gus Wortham Park Golf Course also holds the distinction of being the oldest continually operating course west of the Mississippi. Th e Master Plan for the restoration calls for approximately $15 million in improvements. Th e Gus Wortham Park Golf Course Restoration Committee continues to be hard at work to raise the additional $10 million by Dec. 31, 2017. Renovation of the classic golf course could begin as early as the fall of 2016. Th e new clubhouse complex is scheduled to be constructed by Dec. 31, 2019. Th e Gus Wortham Park Golf Course is now the second city-owned property operated by HGA. In 2014 our organization assumed operation of F.M. Law Park, a 102-acre facility that includes a 9-hole golf course and learning center overseen by Th e First Tee® of Greater Houston (related story, PGs 10-13). Our chapter continues to boast the largest participant outreach in Th e First Tee’s worldwide network of more than 180. • Th e First Tee® of Greater Houston delivered its curricula to 249,752 youngsters in physical education classes at 357 schools. • Ongoing programming in 2015 at green grass facilities in Humble, Hockley, Missouri City, plus Gus Wortham and Sharpstown courses in Houston, reached 1,800-plus participants. • After school and outreach programs, off ered at YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs and at Houston Parks and Recreation sites, reached nearly 12,000 additional participants. Of course, the Shell Houston Open (related story, PGs 6-7) continued to be the driving force behind HGA’s community service programs. Shell Oil Company and HGA offi cials announced in November a community impact dollar fi gure of $2,316,623, generated by the tournament and HGA’s other golf-related programs. All of those funds had been put to use in the Houston area through contributions made to more than 250 charitable organizations. Since Shell became title sponsor of the PGA TOUR event in 1992, the Shell Houston Open has raised more than $60.6 million for local causes. Funds are generated annually by net proceeds from tournament revenue, direct contributions through the Charity Partners sponsorship program, and monetary pledges to the Birdies for Charity program.

THouston Golf Association members and others volunteered their time to help administer both the Greater Houston Men’s Amateur and the Senior Men’s Amateur at Memorial Park. HGA members worked more than 570 hours spread over six days of competition. Many of these members also donated time to The First Tee® of Greater Houston and the HGA Junior Golf program. Th e tournament’s ongoing benefi ciaries are Chinquapin Prep School (since 1979), Cenikor Foundation, Inc. (since 1996) and Project Joy and Hope (2014). HGA’s Academic Scholarship Program also reached a milestone in 2015, surpassing the million- dollar mark by awarding seven scholarships totaling $140,000 (related story PGs 19-20). Members John and Nancy Semander were recognized for providing the Semander Family Grant to our HGA Academic Scholarship Program. Th e runner-up in the selection process for the Randy Arnaud scholarship will now receive a one-time grant of $2,500. Stan Curtis presented two checks from the proceeds of his baseball book.

In 2009 Holmes had an almost identical situation, a long wait for a playoff , which Englishman Paul Casey won. In its week-before-the-Masters date, the Shell Houston Open continues to attract a stellar player fi eld. Th e Golf Club of Houston Tournament Course, which emulates Augusta National-like fast and fi rm playing conditions, has proven to be a hit with the players. For instance, Phil Mickelson made his eight consecutive start in the Shell Houston Open.

Aaron Eckstein was a two-time captain of the team; Garland Green finished his career ninth on the Tech’s All-Time Scoring list; and Marshall Bailey became only the second Hokie golfer to compete in four NCAA Championships. Head Coach Jay Hardwick’s task has been to continue to develop his returning players while integrating three promising freshmen into the team, all toward the ultimate goal of competing for the national championship. The season began just outside Chicago, Ill., with the Hokies making their first appearance in the Northern Intercollegiate at renowned Rich Harvest Farms, site of the 2009 Solheim Cup. The team finished fourth against a talented field, and junior Mikey Moyers tied for third individually. The Hokies then finished fifth at the VCU Shootout at Hermitage Country Club, much closer to home in Richmond, Va. Freshman Scott Vincent led the team, tying for 11th place on the same course that he had won the Valentine Invitational just a few weeks earlier.

  • 2015 VTO Press Release- Field Notes 3-18FINAL.Pages
    FIELD E-NOTES FOR MARCH 18, 2015 • WINNERS CIRCLE: The winners of the last three tournaments on the PGA TOUR schedule are all coming to the Valero Texas Open—Alex Cejka (Puerto Rico Open), Dustin Johnson (WGC-Cadillac Championship) and Jordan Spieth (Valspar Championship). • EXEMPTIONS EXTENDED: Several players, who were not otherwise eligible to compete in the tournament, were extended exemptions into the field the past few weeks. San Antonio’s Cameron Beckman, a three-time PGA TOUR winner, is one of these players. Another three-time winner, Johnson Wagner, who was born in Amarillo and has played each year since the move to TPC San Antonio, accepted an exemption. Tournament officials also extended an exemption to Marc Warren, a four-time winner on the European Tour who is currently ranked 51st in the world. Warren is trying to secure top 50 in the world status for an exemption into the Masters Tournament. The Valero Texas Open is the last chance players have to get into that particular category. Brandon Hagy, a celebrated collegiate player at Cal, is also in the field. Hagy has a driving distance average of 321 yards and the VTO will be his fifth start on the PGA TOUR. Andrew Loupe, who finished T4 at last year’s Valero Texas Open, will also be returning to the TPC San Antonio next week. • PADRAIG HARRINGTON UPDATE: Harrington, the multiple major championships winner, who won a few weeks ago in Florida, has withdrawn from the tournament. Harrington was extended a sponsor exemption earlier in the year because of his limited PGA TOUR status.
