NEW HAMPSHIRE CHAPTER

A Note From the President

Tim Riese, PGA

Greetings New Hampshire Chapter Professionals,

What a great 2025 season we had! Our pro-am schedule was loaded with amazing golf courses and full fields each week. I would be remiss to not thank our Operations Manager, Tony Zdunko, PGA for the great job he does administering our Chapter events.

We had memorable moments such as a four-man playoff for our Chapter Championship. Congratulations to Lucas Langelier for winning his 1 Chapter Championship and to Bill Andrews On one of his many Senior titles. We brought back our Match Play Championship which culminated with Sam Read winning the title at Golf Club of New England. st

Lastly, I would like to congratulate our 2025 Davis & Towle player of the year Jason Malcom, who won the season long points list by 1.15 points over Joe Finemore.

Thank you to all of our host professionals and all our sponsors. I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday season and we are looking forward to an even better 2026.

With gratitude,

Tim Riese, PGA

New Hampshire Chapter President
