2024 IGA Yearbook

9 IGA and our Foundation. Our Donors - Without the hundreds of you, Golf House Iowa, our scholarships, and everything else our Foundation does would not be possible. You truly are the backbone. Thank you so much for your belief and support of our missions. We are forever indebted to you. Our Staff - A wonderful group of people I get the privilege of working with everyday. They are dedicated to our members and to making the organization better. They care deeply about the experiences we provide. Our interns were once again incredible this summer. We are all lucky to have this group’s talents here each and every day. Our Board &Committee members -Their leadership and vision are terrific. They have the proper perspective in mind at all times. They lead without micromanaging and have continued to provide our staff with the tools we need to succeed. It is a wonderful group to work with. Our Volunteers - Beyond our board & committee members, our volunteers fall into two categories - rules officials and course rating volunteers. The amount of time and travel both of these sets of people do for the organization is amazing.There is noway we could administer the number of tournament days or rate the number of courses we do each year without their knowledge and expertise. Their contributions are more substantial than people recognize. They deserve a lot of credit for the success of the IGA and I am extremely appreciative of that. Our Members - To the clubs/courses and the individuals - I thank you for your continued support. Whether it is signing up as a member club and promoting the GHIN Handicap Roster to your customers, signing up to play in an IGA Championship, or hosting various IGA events, we are your organization and are committed to ensuring that you receive substantial benefits for your membership. Thank you so much for helping us become what we are today. Now, with 2024 nearly in the books and 2025 on the immediate horizon, we focus on setting records once again. We have an outstanding set of host venues for our championships and qualifiers, including the addition of the Iowa Adaptive Open. Plus, there are many other new items in the works to help us improve. We are excited about that and look forward to digging in. See you on the first tee soon enough! Grand Opening of Golf House Iowa on May 30, 2024. Longstanding volunteer, Sean Flanders
