2017 Annual Report a Message from the President WGA CADDIE SCHOLARSHIP FUND Est. 1956 2017 ANNUAL REPORT A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT BENJAMIN C. KIRSCHENBAUM PRESIDENT WGA CADDIE SCHOLARSHIP FUND Friends of the Caddie Scholarship Fund, This past year marked the start of a transition that creates both challenges and new opportunities. Since 1962, the Caddie Scholarship Fund has been linked with the Westchester Golf Association. The WGA provided staffing and support for all CSF activities. In 2017, the Metropolitan Golf Association assumed the responsibility of administering the operations of the WGA. This elevated the operation of the WGA tournaments and has been a great success. For the 2017-18 school year we granted 76 new scholarships to young men and women who worked in “service to golf” at our member clubs. We now have a total of 292 Caddie Scholars from our member clubs attending 147 different educational institutions and trade schools - a $4 million tuition commitment. We continue to grow our endowed scholarships. The first Tom Nieporte, Sr. Memorial Scholarships were awarded to two outstanding Winged Foot caddies. Sleepy Hollow honored their long-time caddie manager, Joe Barreiro, on his retirement with a new endowed scholarship. Joe has been a loyal supporter of the CSF and the members at Sleepy Hollow raised a record $166,000 for scholarships in his name. We hope other clubs and individuals will consider starting an endowed scholarship. Our golf events were again very successful. The Pro-Am was held in August, at Westchester Country Club; thank you to the membership and staff who helped make it a spectacular day. In July, we reconnected with CSF alumni who enjoyed a great day of golf at Manhattan Woods. The Marathon was held at Siwanoy and raised over $ 90,000. The Friends of the Fund event, which has created another means of connecting with our supporters, was hosted by Hudson National for the third year in a row. Greg Hickey held the second annual event to honor his brother, Chris, at the Country Club of Darien and raised in excess of $ 80,000 for the Christopher C. Hickey Scholarship Fund. As part of our partnership with the Evans Scholarship Fund, all of our CSF applicants were encouraged to complete their application in the fall to be considered for the Westchester Evans Scholarship and our own scholarship. 2 Seventeen of our area caddies submitted applications for both scholarships. Finally, I would be remiss not to advise all of our friends that after sixteen years at the CSF, Lauren Weller, our Chief Operating Officer, is leaving. Lauren has been a critical factor in our success and she will be missed. We wish her the best. As I started the letter, change creates opportunities. Effective January 1, 2018, the administrative services for the CSF will be provided by the Metropolitan Golf Association and the MGA Foundation. This will significantly increase our resources, particularly related to growing youth caddie opportunities and fund raising. We will have more about this partnership soon. Thank you to all our supporters. WGA CADDIE SCHOLARSHIP FUND OUR MISSION The WGA Caddie Scholarship Fund (CSF) fosters the core val- ues of personal responsibility, integrity and perseverance by giv- ing young men and women in service to golf the opportunity to further enhance their lives through the pursuit of higher educa- tion. The Fund provides college scholarships to qualified candi- dates based on financial need. OUR HISTORY The WGA Caddie Scholarship Fund was established in 1956 by renowned amateur golfer Willie P. Turnesa and his good friend Udo Reinach. With over 2,664 recipients since its founding, the Caddie Scholarship Fund has provided in excess of $20,000,000 in scholarship funding. OUR SCHOLARSHIPS The CSF is one of the largest organizations of its kind in the na- tion. Caddie scholarship awards range from $1,000 to $10,000 per year for undergraduate study or for study at an accredited trade school. Maximum awards are reserved for exceptional stu- dents with exceptional need. ELIGIBILITY Applicants must demonstrate financial need, have applied to or currently attend an accredited school, and have worked a minimum of two seasons in service to golf at a WGA member club. Service to golf includes caddying, golf course maintenance, and work in the golf shop, bag room or on the practice range. Club members and their children are not eligible to apply. 33 FUNDING The CSF finances scholarship awards primarily through contribu- tions from individuals, WGA member clubs, alumni, corporations, and foundations. NAMED AND ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS Named and Endowed Scholarships give donors an opportuni- ty to celebrate their commitment to education and golf. These special scholarships provide an enduring legacy for individu- als, families and organizations to pay tribute to an individual or achievement. HOW YOU CAN HELP n Join the Club!

ABOUT WESTCHESTER COUNTRY CLUB Three-time U.S. Amateur champion Walter J. Travis laid out the two 18-hole golf courses at Westchester Country Club, just 30 miles outside New York City, that opened in 1922. The courses were built by the Philadelphia-based architectural firm of Toomey and Flynn who built the modern course at Shinnecock Hills toward the end of the same decade. The club joined the USGA on Jan. 13, 1922, several months before the courses opened for play that summer. The West Course has hosted many memorable golf events over its history. Beginning with the 1923 U.S. Women’s Amateur, the course went on to host 44 PGA Tour events. The Thunderbird Classic came to Westchester in 1963, with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus winning two of the first three years.

    Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103rdAugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). The second edition of the championship was hosted and sponsored by Hollywood Golf Club, when George Low won in 1906. After an eight-year hiatus overlapping World War II, the Met Open became more of a regional championship, won by many of the top local club professionals, among them Claude Harmon, Jimmy Wright, Jim Albus, David Glenz, Bobby Heins and Darrell Kestner, not to mention such storied amateurs as Chet Sanok, Jerry Courville Sr., George Zahringer III, Jim McGovern, Johnson Wagner, and Andrew Svoboda. The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in 2007, giving the championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing, won by Ben Polland at Winged Foot Golf Club. In 2017, The MGA welcomed a new Championship Partner, Callaway Golf. Callaway Golf is the presenting sponsor of the Met Open Championship. Eligibility The competition is open to golfers who are: 1. Past MGA Open Champions. 2. PGA Members in good standing in the Metropolitan and New Jersey PGA Sections.

  • May 7, 2020 to the MEMBERS of the UNITED STATES CONGRESS
    May 7, 2020 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS: On behalf of the undersigned chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits, we urge you to extend eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program to all nonprofit organizations when Congress considers the next COVID-19 emergency assistance legislation. Thousands of nonprofit organizations — including ours — were left out of the Phase 3 CARES Act and are being hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Our groups contribute to the vitality and spirit of our communities. We employ thousands of people and provide important workforce development and educational tools, economic support, and civic and cultural events. Our organizations have suffered major financial losses due to the pandemic of the type the Paycheck Protection Program was intended to alleviate. Some non-profits have already permanently closed their doors. Many more will be forced to do so without relief from Congress. The CARES Act made certain nonprofit organizations eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program. We urge Congress to extend this assistance to local chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits so that organizations like ours can continue to provide important, community-minded services. Sincerely, National American Institute of CPAs American International Automobile Dealers Agricultural Retailers Association Association Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute American Iron and Steel Institute American Apparel & Footwear Association

  • “I Play Hunches,” by Gene Sarazen
    14 THE SRTURDAY EVENING POST .Rug ust JI, 19J,s - absontly to myself: "How about a rudder on the back of my niblick ?" The result was a special niblick with a rear one-quarter of an inch lower than-the frout edge of the blade. In other words, it is designed with a rudder like an airpl ane, and its effect was amazing. I don't fear the traps now. I even seek them, as I did on two holes of the 1D32 world's championship match with Francis Ouimet. I mean that I played for the traps while Ouimet played for the pin, and I won both holes, as I fully expected to. I knew, you see, that the pin s were not advantageously placed; that Ouimet's pitch shots wouldn't hold the green, but would roll over into the rough. And I knew tha,t I could chip nearer to the cup from the sand than he or anybody else could from the grass. Nobody knows it, but when I threw away .Ils T old to Davis J.

  • Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR
    Vol. 42, No. 2, March–April 2012, pp. 146–165 ISSN 0092-2102 (print) ISSN 1526-551X (online) http://dx.doi.org/10.1287/inte.1120.0626 © 2012 INFORMS Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR Mark Broadie Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027, [email protected] The game of golf involves many different types of shots, including long tee shots (typically hit with a driver), approach shots to greens, shots from the sand, and putts on the green. Although determining the winner of a golf tournament by counting strokes is easy, assessing which factors contributed most to the victory is not. In this paper, we apply an analysis based on strokes gained, introduced previously, to assess professional golfer performance in different parts of the game [Broadie M (2008) Assessing golfer performance using Golfmetrics. Crews D, Lutz R, eds. Sci. Golf V: Proc. World Sci. Congress Golf (Energy in Motion, Inc., Mesa, AZ), 253–262]. Strokes gained is a simple and intuitive measure of each shot’s contribution to a golfer’s score and was imple- mented by the PGA TOUR to measure putting in May 2011. We apply strokes gained analysis to extensive ShotLink™ data to rank PGA TOUR golfers in various skill categories and to quantify the factors that differen- tiate these golfers. Long-game shots (those starting over 100 yards from the hole) explain about two-thirds of the score variability among PGA TOUR golfers. Tiger Woods is ranked first in total strokes gained, and at or near the top of PGA TOUR golfers in each of the three main categories: long game, short game, and putting.

The program provides junior golfers, ages 6-18, weekday access for a $5 green fee or less. More than 750 rounds were played and the program is slated for growth in future years. More kids have more access to play and develop their game thanks to the MGA Foundation subsidizing the difference between the junior rate at these public facilities and the $5 fee. Phenomenal play and perserverance paid off for Will Celiberti, the 2018 runner-up and the 2019 Champion at the Met Junior Championship sponsored by Met Life GOLFWORKS EST.
