Today we are highlighting Mel Shorey our 16th MAPGA President! Heserved as the Section's president in 1947, a highlight of his distinguished career in golf. Shorey's journey began as a caddie in Washington Golf, leading to professional roles under Bill Mackie at Manor and later at ...West-East Potomac and Indian Spring. Beyond his leadership in the MAPGA, where he also served as Secretary-Treasurer and Vice President, Shorey was an accomplished player, competing in numerous tournaments, including the US Open and PGA Championship qualifiers.

Shorey first appeared as a player out of Manor in the first Pro-Am ever held in the Washington DC area in 1923, and his achievements on the course included winning the 1944 District of Columbia Open and qualifying for multiple US Opens and PGA Championships. He was a regular competitor in regional events and played a significant role in the MAPGA's activities, including chairing the Senior Activities Committee. #mapga100

Congratulations to our Executive Director Jon Guhl, who is celebrating his 30th year with the MAPGA today! 🎉🎉

He started on April 15, 1995, as the Assistant Director of Operations and started on the same day as our section’s previous Executive Director, Col. Dick Johns.

...Thanks for all that you do, Jon! 👏🏼
