As part of our Centennial Celebration in 2025, the Middle Atlantic PGA proudly salutes Joshua Tremblay, who served as the Section’s 49th President and has been one of the MAPGA’s most influential leaders in junior golf and professional development.

As a PGA Member since 2003, Josh’s ...leadership has strengthened the MAPGA across multiple committees and initiatives. He is a past MAPGA Professional of the Year Award winner (2014), served as Central Chapter President, and served as chairs to three different committees during his time on Section Board of Directors. He was recognized by the Penn State Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management PGM in 2016 as the Pride of the Lions Alumnus of the Year and in 2020 with the Frank Guadagnolo Award for Mentoring Excellence.

In 2023, Josh was recognized by the PGA of America as the National Player Development Award recipient for extraordinary and exemplary contributions and achievements in the area of Player Development and Growth of the Game.

Speaking of, Josh was instrumental in piloting PGA Jr. League within the MAPGA, helping expand the program from four teams in 2012 to 61 teams by 2013. During his 14 years at Springfield Golf & Country Club, Josh revamped the junior golf program with PGA Jr League and broadened Player Development opportunities through Operation 36 and more.

Beginning in January 2024, Josh began his role as the PGA Director of Golf at Lehigh Country Club in Allentown, PA. While he’s now a member of the Philadelphia PGA Section, we know he still embodies the leadership, creativity, and dedication that define the Middle Atlantic PGA’s first 100 years.⛳️ #mapga100

As we continue our Centennial Celebration in 2025, the Middle Atlantic PGA proudly salutes J.P. Lunn, who served as the Section’s 48th President and has been a pillar of leadership and service within the MAPGA for more than 20 years.

As a PGA Member since 1994, J.P.’s distinguished ...career is defined by integrity, resilience, and a deep commitment to supporting PGA Professionals. Despite undergoing treatment for a brain tumor beginning in 2014, he never missed a Section meeting during his time as an Officer—exemplifying the character that earned him the 2020 PGA of America National Deacon Palmer Award.

J.P.’s extensive MAPGA service includes roles as Director at Large, Secretary, Vice President, President, and Honorary President, contributing more than 18 years of Board leadership. His dedication extends beyond governance, as he has been actively involved across numerous committees and has served as a mentor and resource to professionals across the Section.

His community engagement is equally impactful, with long-standing involvement in Rotary International, the Frederick Chamber of Commerce, and leadership within PGA HOPE—where he served as the first National Committee Chair and the inaugural Board President for PGA REACH Middle Atlantic. He is also a multiple Section Award honoree, including Professional of the Year (2020), Bill Strausbaugh Award (2017), and Professional Development Awards (2009 & 2014).

Today, J.P. continues his work at Sabre Golf & Rec, where he exemplifies the very best of the PGA Professional: service driven, people focused, and committed to growing the game.⛳️ #mapga100

As part of our Centennial Celebration in 2025, the Middle Atlantic PGA proudly salutes our 47th Section President, Matthew Schulze, who served in the role from 2016-2017.

Matthew’s leadership, dedication, and passion for service have shaped the MAPGA for nearly two decades. As a PGA ...Member since 1999, he has been a champion for growth, innovation, and elevating the professional standard across the Section. His career reflects a lifelong commitment to the game—from his early days picking range balls as a teenager to leading tournament operations for the LPGA Kingsmill Championship.

Matthew is also a multiple Section Award winner. He was recognized as the 2017 MAPGA Professional of the Year and also earned the 2002 Assistant Professional of the Year Award. His forward-thinking leadership during his time at Richmond Country Club helped position the facility among the PGA’s Top 100 for Growing the Game and showcases his belief in trying new ideas, expanding access, and continually elevating member experiences. He currently works for PGA Magazine.

Whether it was launching the Eagle Classic (LPGA Symetra Tour) at RCC, developing military outreach at Fort Eustis, or mentoring young professionals toward PGA membership, Matthew’s influence continues to ripple throughout the Middle Atlantic PGA community. ⛳ #mapga100
