    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 3, 2019 Nancy Lopez Receives 2019 Dave Marr Award at Insperity Invitational Prestigious award given annually at Player’s Dinner for contributions and passion to game of golf THE WOODLANDS, TX– World Golf Hall of Fame Member, Nancy Lopez, was presented with the prestigious Dave Marr Award at the annual Insperity Invitational Player’s Dinner on Thursday evening in The Woodlands, TX. Created in 1999 to honor individuals who exemplify the traits Mr. Marr lived by – sportsmanship, honesty, integrity and a passion for the game of golf – Lopez joins a prestigious list of winners who have done remarkable things both on the golf course, and in their communities. “A goal of mine that my father taught me was to be a good person and treat people well no matter their background. Winning golf tournaments is special but winning an award like this is way more impressive because it means you have done special things on and off the golf course,” said Lopez. A history rich list of recipients of the Dave Marr Award include Arnold Palmer, Miller Barber, Don January, Ben Crenshaw, Larry Nelson, Tom Watson, Fuzzy Zoeller, Lee Trevino, Curtis Strange, Barbara Nicklaus, Bernhard Langer, and Tom Lehman. “Dave Marr was a fabulous man, and to be a part of this group of so many players I admire, including my biggest hero Barbara Nicklaus, is such an honor. This award has been very special to many people, and now it is very special to me.” Lopez has had nothing short of a legendary life on the golf course.

  • Carol Mann, Mickey Wright and Babe Zaharias Receive 2021 Dave Marr Award at Insperity
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 2, 2021 Carol Mann, Mickey Wright and Babe Zaharias Receive 2021 Dave Marr Award at Insperity Invitational Prestigious award given annually for contributions and passion to game of golf THE WOODLANDS, TX– Three women who in their own ways embody the pillars of the game of golf – Carol Mann, Mickey Wright and Babe Zaharias – were honored with the prestigious Dave Marr Award at this week’s Insperity Invitational presented by UnitedHealthcare in The Woodlands, TX. Known as The Ambassador, The Natural and The Athlete, the three members of the World Golf Hall of Fame received the prestigious award for exemplifying the traits Mr. Marr lived by on and off the golf course – sportsmanship, honesty, integrity and a passion for the game. Mann, whose career spanned throughout the 1960’s and 70s, is a winner of 38 LPGA TOUR events with two of the first three being majors. A television broadcaster and golf instructor for hundreds of enthusiasts, her impact on the game extended far beyond the course. A female pioneer in the golf business, Mann was known as the “First Lady of Golf” – being the first woman to do course design and create a management company. Mickey Wright turned professional in 1955 after her education at Stanford University. The year she sparked a remarkable career that included 13 wins before the 1950’s were complete. She chalked up six victories in 1960 followed by four straight seasons where she racked up double digit wins each season. Between 1961 and 1964, “The Natural” changed the face of the LPGA TOUR winning 44 events including eight majors.

  • PGA of AMERICA HALL of FAME - Class of 2019
    PGA OF AMERICA HALL OF FAME - Class of 2019 DAVIS LOVE III, PGA Davis Love III was born into a golfing family in Charlotte, North Carolina, the son of legendary PGA Teaching Professional Davis Love Jr., and mother, Helen, an accomplished amateur golfer. By age 10, Davis knew that he wanted to be a professional golfer. He followed an impressive junior career to earn a scholarship to the University of North Carolina where he was a three-time All-American golfer and the 1984 Atlantic Coast Conference Champion. In 1985, Love competed on the U.S. Walker Cup team before turning professional later that year. He won his first PGA TOUR event in 1987 at the MCI Heritage Golf Classic at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Love would go on to win this event five times during his career. His 21 PGA TOUR victories include the 1997 PGA Championship and a pair of win at THE PLAYERS Championship in 1992 and 2003. Just as Love was about to seal his PGA Championship victory with a birdie on the 18th hole at Winged Foot Golf Club, a rainbow appeared overhead. The setting and the emotional final moments connected Love’s victory to his father, a member of the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame who perished in a 1988 airplane accident. Love became one of nine PGA Champions whose father was a PGA of America member. In 1994, Love launched Love Golf Design, a company with his brother, Mark. In 2010, he began hosting the RSM McGladrey Classic.

After making a 15-footer for birdie at the par- 4 9th hole, Allen holed a 15-foot par save at the 10th hole and then saved par again from 15 feet at the par-3 14th hole to preserve his round. Dawson, meanwhile, made four birdies on his front nine and offset a long bogey at the par-4 4th hole with three more birdies on his second nine to shoot 66. World Golf Hall of Fame member Colin Montgomerie, Woodlands resident Jeff Maggert and Joe Durant, a winner last week with Billy Andrade at the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf, are in a group at 5-under 67, one stroke off the lead.
