~History of the Championship~
This year’s Assistant Championship marks the 37th Anniversary as a National event but the PNW Section has been conducting the event since Fred Pelzer donated the trophy in 1965.
The National Championship tradition began in 1976 to recognize the role of the PGA Assistant Professional and how important he or she may be in the success of a golf facility as well as our entire Association. They represent more than 10,000 men and women assistant professionals and registered apprentices nationwide.
Last year, Brad Faller of the Reserve Vineyards GC won the National Car Rental Assistant Championship presented by COBRA PUMA GOLF at Fairwood G&CC. He won by five strokes over Mike Roters of Gateway Golf, Russell Grove of Avondale GC, Brian Nosler of Vanco Driving Range, Colin Inglis of Springfield CC, and Tim Feenstra of Broadmoor GC.
In addition to Brad Faller, both Mike Roters and Tim Feenstra earned spots to the 2012 National Car Rental PGA Assistant National Championship presented by COBRA PUMA GOLF at the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida last November.
