NEPGA Section & JLG Captain Todd Cook Honored at PGA Show

Todd Cook, NEPGA Professional from Milton Hoosic Club in Canton, Mass., and the New England PGA were among the eight regional PGA Junior League Golf Captains and PGA Sections of the Year honored by The PGA of America and League Golf for their successful 2014 seasons during the 62nd PGA Merchandise Show.

“Our Professionals and PGA Section honorees have truly put in the time, energy and passion to cultivate PGA Junior League Golf participants across the country,” said PGA of America President Derek Sprague. “Thanks to their efforts, boys and girls nationwide are being introduced to golf and ensuring the future of the game.”

Cook was a leader within New England, where the number of teams doubled in 2014. He captained two teams and recruited neighboring clubs to form two local leagues he led and managed.

The regional Captains of the Year were selected based upon various criteria, including player participation, recruitment of PGA Professional Captains, parental involvement and other administrative duties associated with running their leagues. The regional PGA Sections of the Year honorees were selected based on the total number of teams, percentage increase in teams from 2013, percentage of PGA facilities participating and their overall involvement in PGA Junior League Golf promotion, recruitment, league assignments and communication. In 2014, the NEPGA sent out 85 teams, a 74% increase from the previous year.
