87Th NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP 2015 NEW ENGLAND PGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYER INFORMATION PACKET CONCORD COUNTRY CLUB NASHAWTUC COUNTRY CLUB AUGUST 17-19, 2015 PRESENTED BY SUPPORTED BY 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 LETTER FROM DAVE POPLYK Dear Fellow NEPGA Professionals, Welcome to Concord Country Club and the 95th playing of the New England PGA Section Championship. 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. We are all very excited to have such a wonderful field at our Sections premier event. New England was once again one of the top Sections in terms of PNC Registrations, finishing in the top two in the country for the fourth straight year. We are very fortunate to have our Championship at two wonderful host sites and facilities. Host PGA Professional Dave Poplyk, from Concord Country Club and host PGA Professional Chris Carpenter from Nashawtuc Country Club have helped us create the highlight to our tournament schedule. In the New England Section we combine our Championship with our Professional National Championship qualifier. As a result we had 180 registrants and 16 NEPGA professionals will represent the New England Section at the Professional National Championship at Turning Stone Resort in upstate New York next June. The New England PGA Section Championship has a long and illustrious history. This will be the 95th time New England Section Professionals will gather to compete for the Tom Mahan, Sr Trophy and have their name alongside some of the finest players and PGA Professionals in New England. This year’s quest for the Tom Mahan, Sr. Trophy goes through Concord! On behalf of the entire New England PGA Staff – Good luck, play well and enjoy the 2015 New England PGA Championship. Sincerely, Mike Higgins Executive Director New England PGA 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY The New England PGA Championship has been in existence since 1921, five years after the PGA of America was founded. Since that time, the championship has been contested 94 times, with this being the 95th. There have been 61 champions in the 95 year history of the event, with 19 winning the event multiple times. The Championship has been hosted or co-hosted at 55 different sites 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 England 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, and 20-somethings such as Shawn Warren and Rich Berberian give a strong indication that the talent is still strong and will be for many years to come. This year presents another opportunity for a New England PGA Professional to join the exclusive club of NEPGA Championship Winners. Over three days in August, contested on two golf courses, we will add another name to the storied list of Champions of this prestigious event. Good Luck! 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 THE MAHAN CLUB While the Mahan Club is four years old, the members of it have close to 95 years of experience in winning the most coveted prize in New England Professional 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 1950’s. The NEPGA Championship trophy is named in his honor. Each year, on the Sunday night before the NEPGA Championship, past winners of the Tom Mahan, Sr. Trophy will be invited to a Champions dinner. The hope is to gather the players fortunate enough to have hoisted the NEPGA Championship trophy for a few hours of cameraderie, story telling and good-will the night before Round 1 of the Championship. While there are 95 years of winners, and many are not living or local anymore, the ones that are have a lifetime of wisdom and experience to share, and will get to share it with this small group one night a year. 2015 Champion Rich Berberian is the newest member, with a thrilling victory over defending Champion Shawn Warren last year at Golf Club of New England and Portsmouth CC. He will look to repeat in 2015 outside of his home state, while enjoying one of the finest years of his young Professional career which includes qualifying for the US Open in June. A line of past champions and new challengers await. Each year there is room for one more member of this exclusive club. Who will be next to receive an invitation? 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK SCHEDULE Monday, August 17th – Round 1 6:30 a.m. – Breakfast Concord CC & Nashawtuc CC Clubhouse 6:30 a.m. – Practice Range Opens Concord CC & Nashawtuc CC 7:30 a.m. – 1:23 p.m. – Tee #1 – Concord CC 7:30 a.m. – 1:23 p.m. – Tee #1 – Nashawtuc CC Tuesday, August 18th – Round 2 6:30 a.m. – Breakfast Concord CC & Nashawtuc CC Clubhouse 6:30 a.m. – Practice Range Opens Concord CC & Nashawtuc CC 7:30 a.m. – 1:34 p.m. – Tee #1 – Concord CC 7:30 a.m. – 1:34 p.m. – Tee #1 – Nashawtuc CC Wednesday, August 19th – Final Round 6:30 a.m. – Breakfast Concord CC Clubhouse 6:30 a.m. – Practice Range Opens Concord CC 7:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. – Tee #1 Concord CC Immediately Following Play Trophy Presentation – Clubhouse Area 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 CONTESTANT INFORMATION REGISTRATION There is no formal registration for competitors.

  • Sports and Recreation
    A Guide to Historical Holdings In the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library SPORTS AND RECREATION Compiled by Herbert Pankratz November 2006 INTRODUCTION Materials in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library relating to sports and recreation constitute a largely untapped resource. This special guide has been prepared to assist potential researchers in identifying pertinent primary source materials on this subject area. The guide should not be considered definitive, as the search for pertinent materials was conducted primarily at the folder title level. Most of the materials I surveyed fall into two categories—Eisenhower’s personal involvement in sports and recreation and public policies and programs which affected sports and recreation on a national level. Following World War II, increased economic prosperity, population growth, and more leisure time led to a rapid rise in public use of outdoor recreational facilities. Various government agencies sought to accommodate the increasing numbers of tourists. Annual visits to national forests increased from 27 million in 1950 to 122 million by 1963. In 1957, the Forest Service began Operation Outdoors, a five-year program to improve and expand recreational facilities in national forests. The National Park Service responded to the challenge with Mission 66, a ten-year program designed to upgrade recreational facilities in our national parks. The Park Service also undertook some significant surveys or studies of recreational areas in the U.S. from 1955 to 1960. Congress passed legislation to encourage the development of recreational facilities. The Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1956 (HR 1815I) permitted the sale or lease of federal lands for recreational purposes.
