Dear Fellow NEPGA Professionals, PRESENTED BY On behalf of the Myopia Hunt Club membership, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you. We are honored to be hosting the 100th NEP- GA Championship after hosting the inaugural event a century ago.
Myopia Hunt Club was founded in 1875; the current layout being de- signed by Herbert Corey Leeds in 1894. The original course was only nine holes when Myopia hosted its first of four U.S. Opens in 1898. When the Open returned to Myopia in 1901 the current 18 holes had been completed. Myopia was known as the Alcatraz of the US Opens as it holds the honor of the three highest winning scores ever recorded in the U.S. Open. The current club house at Myopia was originally a farm- house that was raised in 1774 by Col. Robert Dodge, who would go on to fight in the American Revolution. SUPPORTED BY The golf course remains the same today as it did nearly 120 years ago. Gil Hanse has been brought on in recent years to help restore the golf course to its original look. With his guidance we have undergone a tree removal program to restore the picturesque view corridors throughout the course. The length of the golf remains unchanged at 6,555 yards from the back tees. However, with its 120 strategically located bun- kers, high fescue that borders narrow fairways, and sloping undulated greens, Myopia remains a testament to why length is not a necessity for difficulty.
We hope that you find Myopia Hunt Club as unique and special as we do, and that you enjoy your time here. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of the golf staff. Good luck to all and enjoy your time at Myopia!
Sincerely,
Michael Bemis Head Professional Myopia Hunt Club

Dear NEPGA Professionals, PRESENTED BY It is an honor and a privilege to be co-hosting the 100th New England PGA Section Championship alongside Myopia Hunt Club. The Tedesco Country Club Board of Governors, Golf Committee, Membership and Staff are beyond delighted to be part of such a historic event.
Tedesco Country Club was originally designed by Skip Wogan and members in the early 1900’s, and has gone through a number of layout and design changes over its 100-plus years of existence. The most re- cent being a $1.6M renovation of all the bunkers and several green ex- pansions. The course meanders through Swampscott and Marblehead, across Salem Street, and features two distinctly different sides. From the back tees Tedesco plays just over 6,500 yards to a par of 70. De- spite a moderate yardage compared to today’s modern courses, Tedes- SUPPORTED BY co’s greens have teeth and can be treacherous with certain hole loca- tions. Over the years Tedesco has hosted numerous majors such as the Massachusetts Open, the Massachusetts Amateur and Senior Amateur, as well as many Massachusetts Golf Association qualifiers.
We are thrilled to be co-hosting our New England Professional Golf As- sociation peers and guests for this historic event. During your time on property our goal is to provide you a pleasurable experience, so please don’t hesitate to ask any of our staff for assistance.
Best of luck and play well,
Jake Leech, PGA Mike McGillicuddy, PGA Head Golf Professional General Manager / COO

@NEPGA @newenglandpga #100thNEPGAChampionship 100th NEPGA Section Championship Myopia Hunt Club | Tedesco Country Club August 17-19, 2020
Dear New England PGA Professional, PRESENTED BY Thank you for participating in the 2020 New England PGA Champion- ship. This will be the 100th playing of our Section’s major champion- ship and we are going back to where it all began. The Championship will once again feature one of the strongest and largest PGA Profes- sional fields in the country. With over 200 registrations, the competi- tion will be fierce and each player looking to punch their ticket to the 2021 PGA Professional Championship will first have to go through Mar- blehead & South Hamilton, MA to get there.
It has been 100 years since the championship has been at Myopia and this will be Tedesco’s first time hosting. We could not ask for two more gracious host facilities and I want to extend a special thank you to our host PGA Professionals Mike Bemis, PGA and Jake Leech, PGA, and the SUPPORTED BY members of each club for opening their doors to our premier champi- onship.
The last time Myopia hosted the championship it was a 36-hole event that was conducted in October. Gil Nichols was victorious by one shot with a two-round total 156, and he went home with $100 for his win. A lot sure has changed since 1921, but I can guarantee we are going to see three days of great golf and history will once again be made.
The NEPGA Championship serves as a qualifier for the PGA Profession- al Championship next April, and from there 20 PGA Professionals will move on to the PGA Championship in May. The New England Section already has two NEPGA Professionals exempt into the 2021 PGA Profes- sional Championship, and 11 more will be looking to join them with their play here in New England.
The NEPGA Championship is sure to feature exciting coverage via our website and social media accounts. Be sure to tune in and share the great content our communications staff churns out during the champi- onship.
On behalf of the entire staff of the New England PGA, play well and en- joy the 100th edition of the New England PGA Championship!
Mike Higgins Executive Director New England PGA 5

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY PRESENTED BY The New England PGA Championship has been in existence since 1921, five years after the PGA of America and the New England Section were founded. This event has been uninterrupted and played concurrent- ly alongside the history and evolution of the game and business of golf. While golf’s oldest championships have been postponed by war, and now global pandemics, the New England PGA Championship can proudly say it has crowned a champion every year since 1921 and will do so for the 100th time in 2020.
Over those 99 editions, there have been 63 different champions to capture the Mahan Trophy, with 22 winning the event multiple times. Tedesco joins Myopia Hunt Club in 2020, meaning the Championship SUPPORTED BY will have been hosted or co-hosted at 60 different courses throughout New England, giving the Championship a very unique history, and a big reason why there have been so many different winners throughout the years.
The list of winners is a who’s who of the best players in New En- gland PGA history. Names from the past such as Lester Kennedy, Tex McReynolds, Bob Crowley, Charlie Volpone, Joe Carr, Tony Morosco and Dana Quigley give a glimpse of the great history of the section. Present names such as Kirk Hanefeld, Chip Johnson, Ron Philo, Troy Pare, Frank Dully, Paul Parajeckas, John Hickson and Eddie Kirby litter the brass plating around the Tom Mahan, Sr. Trophy. Not to be outdone, leaders of the new generation such as defending Champion and three-time Wogan Player of the Year Shawn Warren and three-time Champion and two-time PGA of America Player of the Year Rich Berberian, Jr., give a strong indication that the talent is still strong and will be for many years to come.
This year presents a historic opportunity for a New England PGA Pro- fessional to etch their name alongside the great winners throughout the history of the Championship.
Good Luck!

THE MAHAN CLUB PRESENTED BY While the Mahan Club is newly established, the members tout 99 years of experience in winning the most coveted prize in New England Pro- fessional Golf. The Club is named for Thomas Mahan, Sr., who was President of the NEPGA for over 19 years, as well as Vice President of the PGA of America in the 1960’s. The NEPGA Championship trophy is named in his honor, and is now awarded to the winner annually.
To mark the 100th playing of this prestigious Championship, an hon- orary tee shot featuring some past winners will be held on Monday at Myopia Hunt Club prior to the first tee time. While they may no longer be competing in the event, their contributions to the history are para- mount and will be recognized. SUPPORTED BY Last year, Shawn Warren from Falmouth Country Club in Maine became the 22nd NEPGA Professional to win multiple NEPGA Championships. Contested on a classic Donald Ross layout in Manchester Country Club, Warren battled Vermont Professional David Bennett to the end making clutch putts on his final three holes including a 30-foot birdie at the last to win by one stroke. Warren would go on to compete in his sec- ond PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco a year to the day from his 2019 victory. With a strong legacy behind the Mahan Trophy, a line of past champions and new challengers await as Warren looks to defend his title and join an even more exclusive list of three time Champions.
