Ames’ Snyder finishes high at Rolex Tournament of Champions

Ames’ Britta Snyder (front row, seventh from left next to Jack Nicklaus) recently competed at the AJGA’s Rolex Tournament of Champions, (Nov. 26-28) finishing T12th. Synder posted rounds of 78-73-72-70 – 293 (+5). The event was contested at PGA National Resort & Spa – Champion & Fazio Courses, Palm Beach Gardens, FL. This marks the third time Snyder has qualified for the event, but the first time she has played due to scheduling conflicts and an injury last year.

The 42nd edition of the Rolex Tournament of Champions featured 144 of the best junior golfers in the world from 27 states and 18 countries. The tournament assembles the Rolex Junior All-Americans with the past year’s champions to create The Greatest Week in Junior Golf. There were 63 current or former Rolex Junior All-Americans in the field, with a total of 92 AJGA champions competing.

Past winners of the Rolex Tournament of Champions include Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Charles Howell, David Gossett, Webb Simpson, Sam Burns, Heather Farr, Kellee Booth, Inbee Park, Morgan Pressel and Alison Lee.

IGAF, ISPGA team up to promote 2020 Iowa PGA Golf Pass

The Iowa Golf Association Foundation is continuing once again their partnership with the Iowa Section PGA to promote the 2020 Iowa PGA Golf Pass to members of the IGA.

An Iowa PGA Golf Pass is a booklet that contains FREE or discounted rates at over 250 golf facilities across Iowa and Western Illinois. By purchasing the golf pass, you can save hundreds – even thousands – of dollars on green fees, cart rentals, range balls, merchandise, and golf lessons!

Remember, that each Golf Pass offer is only valid for the individual Golf Pass holder. One Golf Pass is not valid for everyone in the group. The golf facilities included in the Golf Pass are only required to honor their deals to individuals that present a valid Iowa PGA Golf Pass.

Golfers now have the option to purchase the 2020 Iowa PGA Golf Pass in an electronic version ($40) or the typical printed booklet ($45) that has been available in the past.

The best part is you can use the coupon code “iowagolf” at checkout to receive $10 off your purchase (from $45 or $40 down to $35 or $30). Additionally, if you use that code, the IGA Foundation will receive a donation from the Iowa PGA.

Don’t forget to use the coupon code “iowagolf” to receive $10 off your purchase of the Iowa PGA Golf Pass.
