We are continuing our Centennial Celebration today with a salute to the MAPGA's 7th President and founding member, Ralph Beach!

Ralph dedicated 40 years to the organization, serving as President twice and earning the prestigious MAPGA Professional of the Year Award in 1959. From ...caddie to Head Professional at The Suburban Club of Baltimore County for nearly 40 years, Ralph made quite the impact. He was a fierce competitor, winning the Maryland Open, multiple MAPGA championships, and qualifying for 16 national championships! 🏅

Beyond his playing career, Ralph was instrumental in shaping the MAPGA, attending its first meeting and holding various leadership roles. He even helped form the National Senior PGA. Here's to Ralph Beach!

This week for our Centennial celebration, we are celebrating the 6th MAPGA President, J. Munro Hunter!

He served as president in 1931, and he was known for being one of the longest hitters in the country, due to his height of over 6 feet 5 inches. He was a native Scotsman who won the ...Western Canada amateur title twice before migrating to the United States and accepting the Head Professional position at Milwaukee CC.

Hunter's later years were marked by health problems, and he passed in 1965. That year, a columnist noted that he was still teaching golf lessons while seated in a wheel chair the previous summer at a local driving range.
