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.
Chehalem Glenn GC opened in 1995 to rave reviews and was quickly recognized as one of the most challenging courses in the Portland area. The front nine opened in July of 2005, with the second nine following two years later. In 2010, Chehalem Glenn was featured by the readers of the Portland Business Journal as the #1 Most Challenging Course, #2 Favorite Public Course, and #3 Favorite Course To Host A Golf Tournament. Head PGA Professional Branden Thompson is excited to host.
