Pennsylvania Golf Association – 2 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Thomas E. Paul

he Pennsylvania Golf Association completed its 97th year of bringing competitive amateur golf to the Common Twealth. I must first thank Your Pennsylvania Toyota Dealers for step- ping into the role as the presenting sponsor of 10 Pennsylvania Golf Association tournaments this year. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Pennsylva- nia Golf Association Member Clubs for their support and ex- tend our gratitude to the memberships, professional staffs and ground crews of all of the clubs that hosted a 2006 Associa- tion event. I would be remiss not to acknowledging the Pennsylvania Golf Association Executive Committee, tournament volunteers and staff for the endless hours of time and effort put forth to make the 2006 season a success. Congratulations to Kyle Davis of Kennett Square, Pa., the recipient of the 2006 W.C. Fownes, Jr., Player of the Year Award. Davis earned the year-end honor, in part, on the strength of an impressive victory in the Pennsylvania Open Championship at Nemacolin at Woodlands Resort Mystic Rock Course where he became the first amateur to capture the Open since R. Jay Sigel did so in 1990 at Rolling Green GC. Davis
s summer also included a second-place tie in the Amateur Championship, advancing to the third round of the U.S. Amateur Championship before falling to eventual champion Richie Ramsey of Scotland and tying for fifth in the Eastern Amateur in Virginia which included a second-round score of 60 (10-under par). In addition to Davis, I would also like to recognize Arnold Cutrell, Jeff Daniels, Bill Lawler, Chip Lutz, George E. Buddy Marucci, Jr., Scott Mayne, William Miller, Clayton Rotz, Paul Schlachter and Nathan Smith for advancing to match play in various USGA Championships. It was a pleasure to serve you as President in 2006.

Thomas E. Paul President
