    Golf World Presents Revised Calendar of Events for 2020 Safety, Health and Well-Being of All Imperative to Moving Forward April 6, 2020 – United by what may still be possible this year for the world of professional golf, and with a goal to serve all who love and play the game, Augusta National Golf Club, European Tour, LPGA, PGA of America, PGA TOUR, The R&A and USGA have issued the following joint statement: “This is a difficult and challenging time for everyone coping with the effects of this pandemic. We remain very mindful of the obstacles ahead, and each organization will continue to follow the guidance of the leading public health authorities, conducting competitions only if it is safe and responsible to do so. “In recent weeks, the global golf community has come together to collectively put forward a calendar of events that will, we hope, serve to entertain and inspire golf fans around the world. We are grateful to our respective partners, sponsors and players, who have allowed us to make decisions – some of them, very tough decisions – in order to move the game and the industry forward. “We want to reiterate that Augusta National Golf Club, European Tour, LPGA, PGA of America, PGA TOUR, The R&A and USGA collectively value the health and well-being of everyone, within the game of golf and beyond, above all else.

Concord Country Club has a history as rich as the town it sits in, and we look forward to adding another chapter to the history of our club. The club was initially founded in 1795 by nearly 19 members of the community and first built a clay tennis court in 1900. It hired golf course architect Donald Ross to design the first nine holes in 1913, and later constructed a swimming pool by damming a brook near the seventh hole in 2015, which can still be seen today. Now, the course boasts 18 championship holes that play at roughly 6,700 yards and reminds players of a vintage Ross design. The last time the Section Championship was contested at Concord, Chip Johnson defeated Kirk Hanefeld in a playoff to deny him of three Section Championship wins in a row. We anticipate our course will provide another exciting finish this time around. Along with the entire Concord CC staff, I would like to wish all competitors great success in this year’s New England PGA Section Championship. Enjoy your time in Concord. All the best, David Poplyk, PGA Head Golf Professional Concord Country Club 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 LETTER FROM CHRIS CARPENTER 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear New England PGA Professional, Thank you for participating in the 2015 NEPGA Championship/PNC.
