Today as part of our Centennial celebration, we are saluting John Haines, the MAPGA's 31st President who served from 1980-1985. John's golf journey began at age 11 when his Uncle Bill introduced him to the game, leading to a lifelong passion that included serving in the US Navy while ...playing on their golf team. His illustrious 40-year career included roles at Andrews AFB, Goose Creek Golf Club, Hunt Valley Golf Club, and Teton Pines Resort before retiring in 2002.

John's dedication to the PGA of America extended beyond his presidency, with 20 consecutive years on the MAPGA Board of Directors and over 20 years on the PGA Rules Committee. His excellence was recognized with numerous awards including the 1985 PGA Professional of the Year!

As part of our Centennial Celebration, today we are saluting Donald Saylor, our 29th MAPGA President Mr. Saylor's distinguished career and significant contributions to the MAPGA extend past his presidency in 1981. A WWII veteran who began his golf journey in Cumberland, Maryland, he dedicated ...decades to the profession before becoming a PGA Life Member after his retirement from River Bend CC in 1990.

Mr. Saylor's impact on the Section earned him numerous accolades, including MAPGA Professional of the Year (1978), Merchandiser of the Year (1983), and the inaugural MAPGA President's Award (1987). His leadership helped shape our organization, and his legacy continues through his family and the countless professionals he inspired throughout his career.

Before leading the MAPGA, Mr. Saylor honed his skills working alongside notable professionals like Carroll Boggs at Cumberland CC and Max Elbin at the prestigious Burning Tree Club. His journey from assistant professional to section president exemplifies the dedication and passion that has defined MAPGA's 100-year history. #mapga100
