For the final Presidential Salute of our Centennial Celebration, we are honoring our most recent past president, Lynne Hunter, PGA/LPGA. She was our 51st Section President, with her term ending in November. Lynne led the MAPGA through its centennial, and was our first female president.

...Lynne has been the Head PGA Professional/Director of Golf at Kenwood Golf & Country Club since 2012. Before that, she learned the ropes as an assistant at Kenwood under MAPGA Past President Rod Thompson. Lynne has been a firm believer in the power of mentorship. Whether it's helping assistants get mentored by Head Professionals, or creating networking opportunities for her fellow female PGA and LPGA Professionals, she has always wanted to help her peers.

Lynne has served in governance since 2013, and achieved so much to help her peer professionals grow in their careers. She was honored with the coveted 2019 Bill Strausbaugh Award and was just recently named the 2025 MAPGA Professional of the Year. From her early career beginnings at Kenwood to her leadership roles within the Middle Atlantic, Lynne's passion for mentorship and servicehave inspired her fellow Section members. ⛳ #mapga100
