National Rental Car Carolinas PGA Professional Championship
presented by COBRA PUMA GOLF
Charles Frost, PGA is the Champion of the National Car Rental Carolinas PGA Assistant Professional
Championship presented by COBRA PUMA GOLF held at the Tom Fazio designed
Hasentree Club in Wake Forest, NC.
Frost, an Assistant Professional at Quail Hollow Country Club
in Charlotte, NC came back from 5 shots behind the leaders
after day 1 to win his first CPGA Assistant Professional Championship.
Frost carded a second-round 36-31=67 to win the
tournament by two strokes with a total 75-67=142. Frost adds
this Championship to his victory at the 48th Toshiba North
Carolina Open held earlier this year.
Five qualifying spots were available to the top 5 finishers who
were eligible for the 36th National Car Rental PGA Assistant
Championship presented by COBRA PUMA GOLF, Nov. 1-4, at
The PGA Golf Club (Wanamaker Course) in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Frost, Buhrman, Perry, and Fox were the top 4 and qualified for
the tournament.
There was a four-way playoff for the 5th and final qualifying spot
between Aaron Black of Charlotte, NC, Matt Bova of Hilton Head
Island, SC, Barry Pierce of Charlotte, NC, and Rob Pilewski of
Vass, NC. On the second playoff hole, Aaron Black birdied the
par-four tenth hole to claim the 5th qualifying spot. Matt Bova
took the first alternate position, Rob Pilewski the second, and
Barry Pierce was the third alternate.
The Carolinas PGA Section would like to thank Hasentree Club
General Manager, Patrick Mastandrea, PGA and his staff for all
their hard work to help make the National Car Rental CPGA Assistant

Fellow CPGA Member,
Vice President Chad Newton, PGA, Secretary John Marion, PGA, Executive Director Ron
Schmid, PGA and I will be off to Baltimore, MD for the PGA Annual Meeting (November 8-11).
This year’s annual meeting is highlighted by the election of the Association’s next Secretary. With
seven candidates vying for the office, I’m certain several ballots will be cast before the outcome
is decided. Besides the election, the delegation will debate and vote on the six proposed resolutions.
I also anticipate, the delegation will be updated on the selection process for the Association’s
next CEO. During our time in Baltimore, we will also have the chance to recognize and
thank Allen Wronowski, President of the PGA of America, for his service and the opportunity to
celebrate PGA CEO Joe Steranka’s years of dedicated service to our Association.
In October, your CPGA Officers and Board of Directors met in Myrtle Beach for our Fall Board Meeting. The following day, the
Board discussed and developed our 2013 Annual Business Plan. The four main areas of focus for the business plan included:
1. Promotion/Marketing of the CPGA
2. Winter Education Seminar focusing on player development
3. Developing a Grant to present to National to support Player Development
4. Long Range Financial Plans for Section Operations
The Board and I are excited with the discussions and enthusiasm for the 2013 Business Plan. We have hit the road running and
are making significant progress in just a few weeks!
Hope to see a full field at this year’s Pro-Pro Championship in Pinehurst, NC. If you haven’t signed up yet, get your entry in.
I’m certain it will be a great event and a wonderful opportunity to spend time with our fellow PGA professionals.
I wish you and your family the very best over this upcoming holiday season.
Sincerely,
Mike Casto, PGA

Dear Carolinas PGA Members,
The Official Golf Car
of The PGA of America
Letter from the
Executive Director
How quickly time passes. The 2012 Holiday Season is just around the corner and I hope it will
allow you a little time to spend with family and friends. I also hope this season has been one to
remember, for all the right reasons. For the Carolinas PGA Section, this month marks the one year
anniversary of the move of our Section Headquarters to Greensboro. For the Section, it has been
a great year. We feel as though we have been able to deliver member services to a higher level than
ever before. We have done this while reducing our staff size. Without question, our new headquarters
is allowing us to be more efficient, which is just one of the many benefits of our relocation.
Another benefit of the move is how our new staff has blended together so well with the existing
staff. In addition, the existing staff has served as great mentors. It has been an exciting first year,
and we look forward to many more to come.
At the time of this writing, the Awards and Honors process is in the home stretch. The Awards and Honors Committee, made
up of the award winners from 2011 as well as three Board members, have received their 2” binders with complete information
on all the nominees. Like students in college, the committee will need to study their binders prior to attending the selection
meeting that takes place on Monday, November 19th at the Section Headquarters. The meeting will be led by Awards and Honors
Committee Chairman, Mike Harmon. Mike is a past Board member as well as a multiple National and Section Award winner.
If past history means anything, the meeting will last between four and six hours. Once all selections are made, each winner
will be notified by President Casto. Appropriate press releases will go out soon after selections are made. Congratulations to all
PGA professionals who received nominations!
As we prepare for 2013, we want to be sure we are making available the educational programs that you would like to receive.
One way we deliver education programs to you is the Annual Winter Educational Seminar. On October 29th, you received an
email from Education Committee Co-Chairmen, Paige Cribb and Clem King. They are requesting you respond to two very
simple questions about Growth of the Game programs. Your feedback is needed, and if you missed their email, please contact
either Paige or Clem at: Paige Cribb (843-349-2958) or Clem King (803-359-2515)
As you prepare for the busy holiday season, I would like to remind each of you about the 2012 AHEAD / E-Z-GO Pro-Pro
Championship, presented by SUNDOG. The Pro-Pro is the event that continually attracts the largest field and is always a lot of
fun. This year, the event will again be played in the Pinehurst area, where it has enjoyed such a rich history. The Championship
will be contested over three great venues; Pinewild CC (Magnolia Course), Pinehurst #8 (Centennial Course), and Pine Needles.
We are fortunate to be able to conduct our championship on these three fine facilities. In addition, we have great sponsors in
AHEAD, E-Z-GO, and SUNDOG. I know that playing golf at this time of year can bring some unpredictable weather, and like
the game of golf, unpredictability is part of the full Pro-Pro experience. Show our sponsors you really appreciate their support
while enjoying a great event. SIGN UP AND TAKE PART IN THE PRO-PRO!
Sincerely,
Ron Schmid, PGA
Executive Director

I hope you have had a successful and enjoyable 2012 season. I want to remind you that I am available
to assist with your career and employment needs, or if you would like assistance utilizing PGA
resources and services. Below is an update on current PGA Employment Services and Golf 2.0
activities.
New CareerLinks Profile Survey
Recently, you should have received an email from PGA CareerLinks asking you to complete a new
CareerLinks Profile survey to stay active in the CareerLinks service. This is being done to update
he CareerLinks Profile information for all PGA Professionals participating in CareerLinks. The Profile survey has been enanced
with new questions based on the priorities of today’s golf industry and the needs of employers, including player developent
and higher management level positions. The last full CareerLinks Profile survey was conducted in January, 2009.
hen you update your CareerLinks Profile, make sure to check that your PGA employment history is correct and all facility
nformation is complete. You must complete the Profile survey by December 25, 2012 to remain active in CareerLinks. Please
ontact me if you have any questions or would like assistance with your Profile.
GA Data Resources for YOU!
e PGA of America provides a number of valuable information and data resources to PGA Professionals. Here are three of the
ost important resources to you and your facility:
PerformanceTrak – is the largest single source of data in the industry and provides information on rounds played and Key
erformance Indicators (KPI) including golf fee revenue, merchandise revenue, food and beverage revenue, and total facility
evenue. PGA Professionals (or their authorized proxy) have password protected confidential data submission and access to
arious monthly and yearly reports.
Annual Operations Survey – provides PGA Professionals with comparative reporting on their top-line revenues and exenses
against other “like” facilities. Available data includes green fees, golf car fees, membership dues, payroll, and a variety of
acility operational areas.
PGA Compensation Survey – known as the industry standard for providing data on PGA Professional compensation, the
012 version drew a record-breaking response of more than 15,000 PGA Professionals completing the survey. The Compensaion
Survey provides key information to assist with performance evaluations, contract negotiations, staff budgeting, and other
mployer/employee interactions. Data is available through an interactive report tool on the PGALinks Employment homepage.
e PGA has developed these resources for you, the PGA Professional, to help you with your career development and facility
anagement. However, for you and your fellow Carolinas PGA Professionals to get the maximum benefit and most accurate
nformation from these resources, it’s important that everyone participate in reporting data to PerformanceTrak and completing
he surveys. Carolinas PGA Professionals provided strong support of the 2012 Compensation Survey, but have lagged behind
ther PGA Sections with PerformanceTrak (20th out of 41 PGA Sections) and the Annual Operations Survey (34th out of 41).
lease do your part in supporting the Carolinas PGA’s efforts with these valuable resources. You can also earn MSR credits for
articipating in each of the above initiatives.

Golf 2.0 Update
The Golf 2.0 strategic initiative continues to gain momentum, with more success stories of PGA Professionals and their facilities
focusing on new and creative ways to implement player development programs. The Golf 2.0 team has recently introduced
“Know Your Customer Tactics,” the latest resource in the Know Your Customer series of publications. Know Your Customer
Tactics will help PGA Professionals execute the Know Your Customer action steps to enhance the Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) programs at their facilities.
Additional Golf 2.0 Playbooks and tools are being developed to target the three Core Strategies which comprise the Golf 2.0
plan – Strengthening the Core, Engaging the Lapsed, and Driving New Players.
All Golf 2.0 information and publications are available at www.golf20.net. During the off-season, I would encourage you and
your staff to explore the Golf 2.0 website, review the Playbooks and other resources, and develop a plan for 2013 to incorporate
some of the ideas that will work at your facility. It’s also important to communicate your plans with your employer, so they
know you are being proactive in promoting the success of your facility. PGA Professionals can login using their PGALinks
username and password. Employers, facility officials, and non-PGA staff can login using the username golf2.0 and the password
growgolf.

Golf 2.0 News
Over the past few years Get Golf Ready has proven to be a
highly successful program to not only introduce new golfers
to the sport, but also as an effective way to create lifetime
golfers.
Get Golf Ready is a program developed to provide new
golfers with the skills and confidence to get out onto the
golf course. This program is unique compared to other approaches
of instructing new players because it tackles one of
the largest obstacles a new player faces, making the transition
from the driving range to the course.
The basic criteria to qualify as a Get Golf Ready program
includes:
• Offer a series of group lessons
(recommend five sessions)
• Cover the basics of golf, i.e. putting, short game, full
swing, how to play, etc.
• Each session should have an on-course activity
• Keep it easy and affordable
• Suggest charging $99, but this is flexible
Agree to provide clubs for students’ use at no charge
New for 2012 is the opportunity to earn MSR credits for Get
Golf Ready programs held at your facility. Credits will be
awarded based on the amount of classes held at your facility
and the number of students to participate. Additional MSR
credit will be awarded to those who retain golfers thru their
Get Golf Ready Programs. Information is available about
MSR credits and Get Golf Ready programs on PGALinks.

Todd Smith, PGA, Mike Lawrence, PGA, and Chris
Tucker, PGA were all four strokes behind Lewallen at
