What began in 1901, with seven member clubs and a goal to identify the best amateur player, today encompasses nearly PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE PRESIDENT’S 35 state championships, national qualifiers and numerous regional and club competitions. Minnesota consistently ranks at or near the top in golfer participation and represents an industry that means $2.3 billion annually to the state’s economy. Clearly, we are passionate about playing the game and take seriously our role as its steward. In association with 15 allied organizations representing those who make a living from the game to those who see the game as a way to improve the lives of others, the new MGA is a year-round non-profit organization that serves the game for all golfers in Minnesota. The MGA actively supports, financially and otherwise, a Mike Malone, diverse number of organizations like the Western MGA President Golf Association’s Evans Scholars program and a number of other organizations that promote the game to disabled golfers, disadvantaged youth and groups that have traditionally found challenges in their paths when it comes to the game of golf. The reason the MGA is able to give back to the game is first and foremost because of the nearly 75,000 associate members and the more than 400 member golf clubs who choose to join in and sup- port the MGA. Our exceptional staff, board members, ambassadors and volunteers turn this support into programs and services on behalf of the game in our state. Thanks, everyone. Your support is so greatly appreciated. Together let’s make 2021 a great year for the game that we all love so much! 4 mngolf.org 2021 MGA Yearbook and Media Guide MGA OFFICERS MGA OFFICERSMGA Mike Malone, Ede Rice, MGA President Vice President As president, Malone As vice president, Rice leads the executive com- fulfills the duties of mittee and board of the president when directors in developing the latter is absent or policies and programs of unavailable to perform the MGA and appoints the office.

  • Bankrupt Golf Courses: an Historical Analysis And
    BANKRUPT GOLF COURSES: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS AND STRATEGIES FOR REPURPOSING by BLAKE JEFFREY CONANT (Under the Direction of Ron Sawhill) ABSTRACT More than 800 golf courses have closed since 2003 and approximately 1,000 to 2,500 are projected to close in the next decade. Many of these courses are repurposed as high-end mixed-use development, high-density residential, or big-box development. The sustainable benefits the golf course once provided either diminish or leave completely. As our countryʼs 21st Century needs shift towards food, water, and energy security, bankrupt golf courses can offer repurposing opportunities to plan for those needs. The goal of golf course repurposing should be to provide similar or greater sustainable benefits as the golf course once did. Understanding how that land can be sustainably repurposed is vital for local communities, environments, and economies to thrive in the 21st Century. This thesis will offer suggestions, strategies, and solutions for repurposing bankrupt golf courses that have yet to be implemented in the United States.
