Happy New Year! As we close out 2025, you always want to reflect on the past year. Here are a few of my highlights for the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association. Membership: 30,000+ members for the first time ever! We know golf has grown since 2020 across all aspects, and that holds true for our memberships. More golfers are taking advantage of being a member of the Metropolitan and therefore using the GHIN Handicap Service in playing the game. Championships: Very well attended Metropolitan Championships again in 2025! Could we get more participation in some events, absolutely! Did you know, if you are reading this, you can play in Metropolitan Championships or the Amateur Series…you are a member and thus eligible to play in our events! Many think you have to be a single-digit or scratch golfer to do so, and that is not the case. We have competitions for all ages and skill levels. Foundation: Normandie Reimagined is a real, living thing taking place on St. Charles Rock Road! After a terrible spring to build a golf course, our Foundation team ramped up toward the end, and we are set to make a bigger impact in 2026. Normandie Golf Club at Emerson Park became a reality with the $7M contribution by Emerson! In the back of the newsletter, you can find links to pictures, videos, and updates on progress…please go follow! And now we look ahead to 2026! The 2026 Schedule of Events will be up on the website very shortly. We highlight the season with the 36th Amateur Championship at Country Club of St. Albans, July 30-August 1. The Women’s and Junior Championships at Algonquin and St. Clair, respectively, and we are excited to return to Quincy CC for the 34th Senior Amateur Championship in September. The Metropolitan newsletter will continue with its 13th season of bringing you all that is happening within the Association! Please reach out to Caroline at caroline@metga.org if you have any interest in participating in advertising in the newsletter. Thank you to Dan O’Neill, Mississippi Valley superintendents, John Thorman, and others who regularly contribute the interesting content to our readers! Thank you to the readers who take the time to read the newsletter each issue; one of my favorite things is to randomly talk with our members who mention they look forward to receiving and reading each issue! Finally, thank you to our members, YOU, for your continued support and allowing us to provide you with the above-mentioned playing opportunities and the GHIN Handicap Service to measure your game! Happy New Year and keep it in the fairway!

By The Numbers 16,000 - The approximate number of golf courses in the U.S. as of 2024, five times more than any other country in the world. With improved levels of supply and demand, new golf course development has reached its highest levels since 2011 while the U.S. market in 2024 recorded its fewest course closures in 20 years. New facility openings and development span a variety of types and locales, from destination resorts to innovative short courses.

- The number of players who successfully earned PGA Tour playing cards at the 2025 Q-School Tournament, which wrapped up Dec. 11-14 at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. A.J. Ewart claimed medalist honors (-14) and led the Fab Five to pass go and collect a 2026 playing privilege. Alongside Ewart were Adam Svensson, Alejandro Tosti, Marcelo Rozo, and Dylan Wu, while others secured Korn Ferry/PGA TOUR status. The outcome was particularly heartbreaking for Camilo Villegas, the 2008 BMW Championship winner at Bellerive Country Club and PGA Tour veteran. “Spider Man” Villegas missed a birdie putt on the final green to miss a playoff for the final card spot by one stroke.
1 - Want to talk about consistency? Consider this according to the final PGA Tour statistics for 2025, Scottie Scheffler was No. 1 in all of these categories - Wins, Top10 finishes, Birdie average, Bogey avoidance, Bounceback, Front 9 scoring, Back 9 scoring, A.M. tee time, P.M. tee time, Par-5 scoring and Par-4 scoring. Guess that’s why he also was No. 1 in Scoring average and Money, with $27,659,550.

- South African Aldrich Potgieter, just 20 years old, averaged 325 yards off the PGA Tour tees in 2025 – which led the circuit in driving distance and was 2 yards clear of second ranked Rory McIlroy. Potgeiter was just shy of the
Issue 8 | December 2025
previous longest ever average, which was McIlroy’s 326.3yard average in 2022-2023. His power notwithstanding, Potgieter’s longest drive of the year was 401 yards, which was not even in the top 40 for the biggest bombs of 2025. The longest drive of the season belonged to Jake Knapp, who unloaded a 444-yarder at The Sentry. In fact, the eight longest drives of the year all came on the 6th hole of the final round at Kapalua, a downhill - if you can believe it par-4.
2,000 - The number of putters Arnold Palmer reputedly
owned. His 1964 Masters-winning putter (a Wilson 8802) was considered a prized possession, and sold for over $97,000 at auction. Since his death in 2016, Palmer’s putters have been scattered across auction houses, archives, private collections, and his businesses, representing different eras and aspects of his legendary career. He once said of the collection: “I’ve given them all a try. Great putting is half technique and half mental. The best putting I ever did in my career was when I had a guy standing right beside me telling me what a great putter I was. All that positive reinforcement worked wonders. He told me I was a great putter and I became one.”
14,625 - That’s the number of holes played by
Canadian Chris Adam in 2012, which remains the most holes ever played in one calendar year. All of the golf was conducted at King Kamehameha Golf Club in Wailuku, Hawaii. Adam played 809 full rounds and seven half rounds to achieve the mark. Another Canadian, Robb James, holds the record for the most holes played in 24 hours. Using a cart, James managed to get in 851 holes at Victoria Golf Course (9-hole course, 3,002 yards long), in Edmonton, June 21-22, 2004. James had 45 birdies and 430 pars. His low score was 68, which he carded four times, and his worst was 87.

A nother year is coming to a close and we are reflecting on the 2025 season. The memorable moments this year provided will be carried with us and their place will be carved into the Metropolitan history books. In proving this is a golf region, the Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association saw another year of growth.
The Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association saw a rise in its membership in 2025 with over 30,200 golfers utilizing the handicap system. There was no shortage of interest in playing the game with over 540,000 rounds of golf being recorded in GHIN (not to mention the countless rounds not recorded). Junior golfers are rising and more than 3,000 are tracking their game with a GHIN handicap.Youth on Course has played a role in this through its promotion with Bank of America to get kids signed up for a golf membership and access to rounds of golf for $5 or less. Over 2,000 of the area’s accounted junior golfers are members of Youth on Course. Have no fear if you are not a scratch golfer, you are not alone! In fact, the rough average Handicap Index for the Metropolitan is a 15.4. Our members must be practicing because that is 0.2 lower than last year’s average! The lowest Handicap Index in our area is +7.6 and belongs to a professional golfer. The lowest amateur Handicap Index is a +6.8, while numerous members sit with a Handicap Index at the highest point of 54.0. Over half of the membership have handicaps between 10.0 and 29.0. So whether you shoot par or 120, post those scores and shoot what you shoot. There’s no judgement here! Every year it is a battle to see which club’s members will post the most rounds. Whitmoor Country Club came out on top again this year with 22,492 rounds. The Country Club of St. Albans came in with the second most rounds at 20,354. The top five posting clubs are rounded out by The Legends Country Club, Forest Hills Country Club, and Bellerive Country Club.
This was another memorable year for championships in the Metropolitan. The season started off with a dominant performance by team Metropolitan in the Shogren Cup. It was followed by a cold and rainy Old Warson Cup that resulted in the first time that both divisions’ champions held their respective Amateur (Metropolitan and Senior) Championship and Old Warson Cup titles within the span of a year. It felt like we were fighting the weather for half of the season, but we got every round in and every champion crowned. From the local to the national stage, our members put on a showcase of talent. Member Brooke Biermann highlighted this when she finished as runner-up at the U.S. Women’s Amateur. Overall, it was another fantastic championship year, and we are proud to etch new names onto the Metropolitan trophies. Congratulations to all of the Champions from this year and those that qualified for national championships.

Tom Portner Trophy
Issue 8 | December 2025
Since 1989, Southern Illinois has been awarding the top golfer with the Player of the Year award. For years, this golfer has been presented with the Player of the Year trophy, which has simply been referred to as the Player of the Year trophy, until now…
We would like to formally introduce the Tom Portner Trophy for the Southern Illinois Player of the Year. The naming of this trophy is to honor Tom Portner, a staple golfer in Southern Illinois for decades. Portner has lived in Southern Illinois and dedicatedly participated in golf championships in the area for quite some time. To this day, he remains committed to keeping the game alive in Southern Illinois as a player and leader. When a proposal was made earlier in the year to the Southern Illinois Golf Association Advisory Committee, the group unanimously agreed upon the renaming of this trophy in Tom’s honor. Portner is a talented golfer in his own right and has won the Southern Illinois Player of the Year honor a record 7 times (1993, 1994, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2020) across four decades. No other player has won more than 3 times. Portner continues to play, though he has moved on to the Senior division. He has since claimed the last four Southern Illinois Senior Player of the Year titles starting in 2022. Portner is a three time SIGA Championship winner and 2024 SIGA Senior Championship winner. He has been a part of the winning Tony Stevens Cup team a few times and has won the Southern Illinois Amateur five times.

Best Host Private Facility Westwood Country Club
Portner didn’t start playing golf until late in his teenage years, but knew immediately that this would be the game that he would play for the rest of his life. He gained lifelong friends along the way and calls his golfing buddies his best friends. He has seen the ups and downs of golf in Southern Illinois, but remains committed to playing the game. He also remains steadfast in encouraging the growth of the game in the area through the encouragement he provides to other golfers to play and support for an inclusive golf environment. Portner has accepted each golfer he’s met as they are and hopes to see them continue on their golfing journey. As the 2025 Senior Southern Illinois Player of the Year recipient, we surprised Tom Portner with the unveiling of this trophy at the Player of the Year Reception on November 12. Portner was overwhelmed with the honor. The 2025 Southern Illinois Player of the Year, River Stilley, was able to share a few words following the presentation of the trophy, expressing the impact and inspiration Portner has had on him. Portner was able to present and congratulate Stilley on a year well played. Once Portner was able, he said a few words, sharing his journey to get to this point. It was an emotionally joyous moment for Portner as he was surrounded in support by his friends and family. Portner was at a loss for words and truly honored to be recognized in this way.

look back and celebrate how 2025 ended. That is to say, with a bang!
The rewarding nature of the past 12 months were captured at the annual MAGA Player of the Year gathering, which took place Nov. 12 at Old Warson Country Club. With master of ceremonies Dan McLaughlin directing traffic, the evening featured a number of noteworthy moments and honored guests. MAGA founder Tom O’Toole, Jr. opened the night’s program and set the table by putting things in perspective: “This night is and will always be about the accomplishments and participation of people who make this golf association possible,” O’Toole said. One of those people is Tom Portner, a distinguished player and consistent presence in Southern Illinois golf for decades. Portner has won the Southern Illinois Player of the Year honor a record seven times across four decades, twice accomplishing the trick in back-to-back seasons - 1993-94 and 2007-2008. Remarkably, Portner captured the POY distinction 10 years apart, in 2010 and 2020. Last year, he was the Southern Illinois Senior Player of the Year for the fourth consecutive season.

In recognition, the announcement was made that the hardware known simply as the Southern Illinois Player of the Year trophy (since 1989) is henceforth to be labeled the Tom Portner Trophy. And the 2025 winner of the Tom Portner Trophy, River Stilley, was especially proud to be the first recipient, as he spoke of the impact Portner has had

on his golf journey.
shared for several years is, in fact, a game-changer.”
The introduction of the new trophy drew enthusiastic approval from those gathered, and with many friends and family in attendance, Portner was surprised and humbled.
Emerson president and CEO Lal Karsanbhai emphasized that the global technology firm appreciates that the finished product at Normandie, which will be known as Normandie Golf Club at Emerson Park, is about much more than golf.
“Given the fact that where I came from to where I am now, it’s really hard to believe,” said Portner, who didn’t start playing golf until he was a junior in high school. “I’m very humbled and very honored … I can’t express how much this means to me.”
“It’s about expanding equitable access, fostering community and skills development, and building a brighter future for our city,” Karsanbhai explained.
There were meaningful moments for others as well, including the MAGA Player of the Year lineup, which included Ryan Sullivan, Brooke Biermann and David Strickland. Westwood Country Club and Gateway National were toasted as outstanding host facilities, while professional Jay Roux (WingHaven) and superintendent Corey Witzan (Westwood) earned celebration for their host contributions. Some two weeks before Thanksgiving, and leading into the Christmas season, it was the perfect way to foam the runway for the good tidings ahead. Glasses were raised, emotions were tapped and a group hug was embraced to acknowledge the spirit that makes the Metropolitan golf community special. And on top of it all was a piece de resistance, a showpiece announcement that brought 2025 to an uplifting conclusion and stoked the anticipatory fires of 2026. As the 63rd president of the USGA from 2014-15, O’Toole is accustomed to poignant moments and impactful developments. But the long-time rules official and MAGA initiator could hardly contain the excitement as he revealed that Emerson is making a $7 million dollar commitment to the Normandie Reimagined Project. In short, the redevelopment of historic Normandie Golf Club in North County now has a lead donor to ensure the revitalization dream - spearheaded by Jack Nicklaus Signature Design - becomes a reality. “Every project, every initiative … has a monumental or pivotal day,” O’Toole said, in making the Emerson announcement. “Today is that day. For this publicly-traded company to step up and support a vision many of us have
And, so, the curtain closer on 2025 gave us much to look forward to in 2026. After all, the 36th Metropolitan Amateur Championship will be held on the exquisite Lewis & Clark Course at The Country Club of St. Albans. The BMW Championship returns to Bellerive Country Club Aug. 2023, bringing the PGA Tour and the FedEX Cup Playoffs back to town. With Stifel coming aboard as a title sponsor in 2025, St. Louis has a new role in the PGA Tour Champions lineup, representing the first leg of the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs. The Stifel Charity Classic is set for Oct. 23-25 at Norwood Hills Country Club. And then - the good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise - the initial nine holes will realize a “soft” opening at Normandie. The type of programs O’Toole and Karsanbhai spoke of will begin to grow roots. As the year goes on, the work that began in 20024 will take shape, additional facilities will be completed and larger scale community programs will take hold. In short, as 2025 came to an end, we found out just how much there is to look forward to in 2026.

GOLF FITNESS HUB
The Importance of Golf Fitness: Health, Performance, and Longevity Golf is often viewed as a skill-based sport, but at its core, it is a powerful athletic movement that places unique demands on the body. At Golf and Training Institute LLC, we believe that proper golf fitness is essential—not only for better performance, but for overall health, mobility, and long-term enjoyment of the game. A well-designed golf fitness program improves general health by increasing strength, cardiovascular capacity, balance, and coordination. Golfers who train appropriately experience improved posture, joint stability, and muscular balance, all of which contribute to reduced pain and lower injury risk. Fitness training also supports weight management, bone density, and mental well-being, making golf a lifelong activity rather than a short-term pursuit.
At Golf and Training Institute LLC, we are committed to helping golfers of all ages and abilities move better, play better, and enjoy the game for a lifetime—because a strong, mobile, and healthy body is the foundation of great golf. Are you ready to make 2026 your best year yet both on and off the course?
From a performance standpoint, the golf swing is a complex, full-body movement that requires mobility, stability, strength, and timing. Limitations in any of these areas can restrict swing efficiency and consistency. Golf-specific fitness focuses on improving rotational mobility in the hips and thoracic spine, while building stability in the core and lower body. This allows golfers to create a more repeatable, powerful swing with better control and less stress on the joints. Distance is another major benefit of golf fitness. Increased clubhead speed does not come from swinging harder, but from moving more efficiently. Strength and power training, when properly applied, help golfers generate force from the ground up, transfer energy through the body, and release it effectively through the club. This results in longer drives, improved ball striking, and greater confidence without sacrificing accuracy. Mobility is equally critical. As golfers age, natural decreases in flexibility and joint range of motion can limit swing mechanics and increase injury risk. Targeted mobility and flexibility training helps preserve range of motion, improve posture, and maintain fluid movement patterns. This not only enhances performance but allows golfers to continue playing comfortably for years to come. Ultimately, golf fitness is about longevity. Whether you are a junior golfer developing athletic foundations, a competitive player seeking an edge, or a recreational golfer who wants to stay active and pain-free, structured training supports a healthier body and a more sustainable golf career.

Investing in Our Future and Giving Back: MVGCSA in 2025
Mike Leech
Director of Operations, MVGCSA
In 2025, the Mississippi Valley Golf Course Superintendents Association continued to strengthen our
commitment to education, professional development, and charitable giving. Supporting the next generation of turfgrass professionals while giving back to our golf course maintenance community central to who we are as an association, and this year marked one of our most impactful years in the 80-year history of the association. A cornerstone of our mission is investing in education through our scholarship initiatives. In 2025, the MVGCSA proudly awarded eight scholarships designed to support students and professionals at different stages of their academic and career journeys. Our Turfgrass Scholarship continues to assist students enrolled in accredited turfgrass and golf course management programs, helping offset educational costs while encouraging excellence within the profession. We also maintained our Legacy Scholarship, which supports children and grandchildren of MVGCSA members pursuing higher education, reinforcing the importance of family, tradition, and service within our association.
Alongside our educational efforts, 2025 was a banner year for charitable giving. Through the generosity of our members and affiliates, the MVGCSA nearly tripled its charitable donations compared to previous years. This growth is a direct result of strong participation in our fundraising events and an increased focus on giving back
26
One of the highlights of the year was our Wee One StL Event, which brought together participants from across the St. Louis golf community for a day of camaraderie and purpose. The Wee One event directly benefits golf course maintenance with health care hardships. In 2025 the event raised upwards of $90,000 for the Wee One Foundation. The Wee one is open to the public and registration will open on mvgcsa.com in early 2026. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to take part in a transformational event at the idyllic setting of Boone Valley GC. As we reflect on 2025, we are proud of what we have accomplished together. Our scholarship recipients represent the future of turfgrass management, while our charitable contributions demonstrate the heart of our membership. None of this would be possible without the continued support of our members and affiliates. Looking ahead, the MVGCSA remains committed to growing our current programs, expanding our impact, and ensuring that our association continues to be a positive force within both the turfgrass industry and the golf communities that we serve.
Ozzie Smith speaking at the Wee One StL
In addition, our Valley Futures Scholarship continues to provide meaningful support for individuals currently working in the turfgrass industry who are seeking to further their education in agronomy, horticulture, or related fields. This scholarship reflects our belief that professional growth does not stop once a career begins, and that investing in continuing education benefits both individuals and the industry as a whole. This year we were able to award a Valley Futures Scholarship to local student, Mason Hanten of Meadowbrook CC who will be embarking on his turfgrass education this January at Rutgers University.

Mistaken Identity
Rules Center
During the Corales Puntacana Championship this past April, Ben Crane made a lethal mistake in the third round. Crane hit his tee shot on the 8th hole and watched as it headed straight for the penalty area. Believing his ball was in the water, Crane took the proper relief by taking a drop and then playing from there. As he moves on into the fairway to continue play of the hole, he realizes there is a second ball in the fairway - and it is marked as his! Crane’s original ball had ricocheted off of the rocks and landed in the fairway rather than go into the penalty area. Since he had already taken relief from the penalty area - believing his ball was in there - put a second ball into play, and abandoned the first, Crane was going to have to continue on with that second ball. Now here is where it gets sticky... He made an assumption that the on the right was the second ball. He then finishes the hole with that ball thinking he was playing the second ball and continues on to the 9th hole. Everything sounds okay right? No. Crane looked down at the ball he was playing after completing the 8th, only to realize it has a rock stuck in it. This meant the ball he completed the hole with was his original ball and therefore a wrong ball under the Rules of Golf. Crane needed to have realized this and corrected it on the 8th before hitting a stroke on the 9th. Going back to the spot of the mistake and correcting it would have sent him off with a clear conscience and minimal penalty. However, once he made a stroke on Hole 9, Crane’s window was closed and he faced disqualification. Knowing the rules, Crane called himself out and reported the incident to the committee. He may have been disqualified from the competition, but Crane can sleep easy knowing that he upheld the honesty and integrity of the game. Lesson to be learned? Always make sure you can identify the ball you are playing. And when you substitute a second ball in, maybe make your markings slightly different. That way you will be able to know the difference between two balls hit by you... and avoid disqualification.

Always Identify Ball
Dear John: I learned a lesson during our Men’s Day competition last week. On the par 5 4th hole, I hit both my original ball and provisional ball left and beyond the ladies tees. We found my provisional just left of the cart path by the entrance sign. My partner found a ball further up the cart path in thick rough by the exposed culvert. He asked what kind of ball I was playing. I said it was a Titleist with a red dot. He replied that he found it. I went over, peered down into the deep grass and saw a Titleist with a red dot. Just then, another player in our group shouted there was a ball across the cart path to the right. It was a Titleist with a red dot and a red line (I also put a red line on my ball). That was my original ball! The ball by the culvert was a stray Titleist with a red dot and no red line. After all of that, I wound up playing my second stroke with the original ball. I shudder to think how many strokes I would have racked up had I played the stray ball (my partner had already lifted the provisional, too). Check that ball! --RUSure
Dear RUSure: That’s a good story. “A player is responsible for finding their ball in play after each stroke” (Rule 7.la). Therefore, it’s important, although not mandatory, to put a unique identification mark on the ball (and a different mark on any provisional ball). It’s also a good idea to verify the ball before every stroke. In stroke play, the penalty for playing a stray ball (wrong ball) is two strokes and the player must correct the mistake by returning to find and play the original ball, or perhaps the provisional ball in this case (Rule 6.3c(1)). In four-ball stroke play (Men’s Day format), not correcting play of a wrong ball on the 4th hole before making a stroke at the 5th hole would disqualify the player only from the 4th hole, and their partner’s score would count (Rule 23.9b(3)). The ball identification procedure is simple (Rules 7.2 and 7.3). Announcing ones intent to identify the ball to another player is not required. The Rules rely on the player’s integrity to identify the ball correctly. Just mark and lift the ball, cleaning it only enough for identification before replacing it.

Keeping Up with the USGA
Issue 8 | December 2025
Ellen Port’s Distinguished Career and Contributions Celebrated by USGA with 2026 Bob Jones Award LIBERTY CORNER, N.J. (Dec. 9, 2025) – The USGA will present its highest honor, the Bob Jones Award, to Ellen Port in 2026 in recognition of her exemplary sportsmanship, character and lifelong contributions to the game as one of the most accomplished amateur golfers in history and a devoted educator, coach and mentor. Presented annually since 1955, the Bob Jones Award recognizes an individual who demonstrates the character, integrity and respect for the game that were among the many lasting qualities of Robert Tyre “Bob” Jones Jr. “What stands out about Ellen isn’t just the historic success she’s had as a player but the way she has gone about it – with humility, grace and a deep respect for everyone around her,” said Mike Whan, CEO of the USGA. “She has spent her life pouring into others as a teacher, coach and mentor, all while competing at the very highest level of amateur golf. Ellen embodies everything this award represents.” Recognized as one of the nation’s finest amateur golfers over the course of a distinguished playing career, Port is a seven-time USGA champion, tying her for second all-time among female champions with Carol Semple Thompson and Anne Quast Sander, and just one behind JoAnne Carner. Her reputation as a champion has always been matched by her reputation as a sportswoman — known for competing with integrity, treating others with respect and elevating everyone around her. Her decades of coaching and mentoring have shaped countless young players, reflecting the same values of character and respect that define the Bob Jones Award. Inside the ropes, she captured the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship a record-tying four times (1995, 1996, 2000 and 2011) and added three U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur titles, in 2012, 2013 and 2016. Her seven USGA victories place her among the most decorated champions in Association history. Only Bob Jones and Tiger Woods, with nine USGA titles each, and Jack Nicklaus and Carner with eight, own more. Port’s impact on the game extends well beyond her own competitive record. She represented the United States of America on two Curtis Cup Teams, in 1994 and 1996, and later captained the victorious 2014 USA side at St. Louis Country Club in her hometown.
education teacher and coach at John Burroughs School in St. Louis, where she influenced generations of students both on and off the course. “I am truly honored to be recognized by the USGA as the recipient of the Bob Jones Award,” said Port. “I thank the Lord every day for the blessings the game of golf has brought into my life. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and humbled by this distinction, and I will continue striving to live up to all that this award represents.” During her tenure at JBS, Port coached a number of sports, including boys’ and girls’ golf, which collected a combined three state championships and three runner-up finishes under her leadership. She later served as the women’s golf coach at NCAA Division III Washington University in St. Louis, helping to build and guide a successful collegiate program while continuing to devote time to young people learning the game. She was the second women’s golf coach in Washington University program history, serving from August 2015 through July 2018. In three years of service, Port helped guide the Bears to an at-large bid to the 2018 NCAA Division III Women’s Golf National Championship, a top-five individual finish at the 2017 NCAAs produced multiple All-Americans, several All-Region performers and 11 allUniversity Athletic Association (UAA) recognitions. Her achievements have been recognized widely in her home state and beyond. Port was named one of the St. Louis Sports Commission’s Top 100 Athletes of the Century in 2000 and was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame (2012), the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame (2012) and the Missouri Golf Association Hall of Fame (2018). Recipients of the USGA’s Bob Jones Award include Francis Ouimet, Margaret Curtis, Richard Tufts, George H.W. Bush, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam and Lee Elder. Recent honorees include Tiger Woods (2024) and Mike Keiser (2025). The USGA will honor Port on Feb. 28, 2026, in New York City as part of the Association’s Annual Meeting.
