Welcome to the April/May 2022 edition of the Arizona Golf Insider - the official magazine of the Arizona Golf Association!
In our fresh landscape layout, we feature an Arizona Golf legend: Retiring Executive Director Ed Gowan reflects on his 37 years with the AGA. A Fond Farewell, indeed. Alabama - the site of the AGA's Fall 2022 Member Trip - is profiled for its abundance of first-class golf courses, many of which are staples of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Traveling to St Andrews for the first time is unlike any other experience for a golfer, so we enlisted an expert (Joshua C. Evenson) to detail everything needed to ensure an amazing trip to the 150th Open this summer. And we get an update on the thriving LPGA*USGA Girls Golf of Phoenix program, which has grown to its biggest membership ever with more than with 1,100 girls engaged in events in 2021.
We hope you enjoy the magazine as much as we enjoy producing it! For any questions please contact azgolfinsider@azgolf.org.
