Bob Leahy Medal Winners
The “Leahy Medal” is presented to any IGA member who records
multiple victories within the state of Iowa in a single season, or,
at least one victory and three or more top 5 finishes. Qualifying
events include all IGA conducted championships, IGA Sanctioned
Point Events and USGA qualifiers played in Iowa. Additional
medals may be awarded for other extraordinary accomplishments
at the committee’s discretion.
The award is named after 1991 Iowa Golf Hall of Fame inductee
Bob Leahy of Cedar Falls. Leahy won a total of 11 major IGA
events, including three Iowa Amateurs, during his distinguished
playing career. He then went on to serve the IGA on a volunteer
basis. He served along with George Turner as a lifetime member
of the IGA board until his death on April 18, 2016.
