On April 13 the PebbleCreek Men’s Golf Association (PCMGA) held a 4-man Stableford Points tournament where past PCMGA presidents were recognized for their service over the years. To date there have been 25 men who have served as president, three of whom have served two terms. The term runs from June 1 to May 31.

Past presidents starting from 1994: Norm Ehren, Joe Manzi, Jim Bundschuh (2), Jim Snyder, George Kingman, Dick Rasmussen, Duane Homan (2), Ed Kisner, Paul Metivier, Gregg Clymer, Ken Schmitz, Steve Straley, Bruce Carlyle, Ron Hansen, Pete Gilbert, Robert Williams, Jerry Monk (2), Lyman Gallup, John Krasnan, Jerry Treece, Bud Held, Ed Stadjuhar, John Low, Jim Sheard, and Ken Schumacher.

Most not only served as president, but also served multiple years on the board holding other positions such as treasurer, secretary, or vice president.

Before the tourney commenced, the presidents in attendance received a round of applause from members as their names were announced. After golf, a celebratory lunch was served for them in the boardroom at Tuscany Falls. The current president, John Abercrombie, presided. They had a chance to share war stories and commiserate!

Members of the PCMGA are in debt to these gentlemen for all their time and effort making the PCMGA the great organization that it is. They work their butts off for these members!
