Welcome to the @tennpga family! ⛳️

Today we proudly introduced a new group of PGA Professionals during our annual meetings … leaders who are dedicated to growing the game, mentoring the next generation, and strengthening the communities they serve.

We’re excited to see ...the impact they’ll make across Tennessee and beyond.

Incoming Tennessee PGA President @paulreid224302 took a moment during today’s annual meeting in Franklin to honor his predecessor, @projoey, with kind words and a meaningful surprise.

As a token of appreciation for two years of dedicated leadership, he presented Joey with a custom pair ...of Nike shoes designed in PGA colors, featuring “PGA” and “Pro” on the back — a fitting tribute to the passion, professionalism, and commitment he brought to the role.

Thank you, Joey, for your service, leadership, and the lasting impact you’ve made on the section and its members. Your contributions helped move the game forward, support our professionals, and strengthen the community we all care so deeply about.

Oh, this is the greatest show! 🤩

We’re kicking off our annual Tennessee PGA Show at The Factory in Franklin. Thank you to all the professionals and vendors that make this a part of their calendar every year!
