D
uring my travels over the last 20 years, I've
been asked many times how I can be such an
avid golfer when I live in Minnesota. The answer
is easy: Minnesota is a golf-crazy state full of people
who share my passion for the game; the golf courses are
fantastic; and the championships organized by the MGA
are the best. I've played golf many places and experienced
the work done by numerous golf organizations, and I've
found that when it comes to golf, they do things right here
in Minnesota, and particularly at the MGA.
Growing up in Alexandria and learning to play the
game at the Alexandria Golf Club, I also learned the values
associated with golf: honesty, integrity, friendship and
sportsmanship. It was at Alexandria that I experienced the
joy of playing a fun golf course along with my dad in the
evenings or with friends during the day.
Minnesota is rich with great courses, and I've been
blessed to be a member at several, both old and new. Additionally,
I have experienced many of
the great golf courses in the Twin Cities,
both public and private, as well as the
enjoyable and challenging courses outstate.
Some of my best memories include
playing tournaments in Bemidji, Detroit
Lakes, Northland, Albany, Willmar, Staples,
St. Cloud and many others.
I'm especially grateful for the friendships I've developed

Minnesota: A Great Venue

through golf in Minnesota. There is something special
about the bonds developed between Minnesota golfers
on the golf course. Maybe it's the fact that we all share
the same pain throughout the winter as we recall magical
summer days on the course. Certainly, there is the excitement
as we scramble to assemble that fi rst foursome for
the opening round of the year. The friendships and bonds
developed in golf are so wonderful and are one of the primary
reasons I'm proud to be a Minnesota golfer.
The competitive golf scene in Minnesota is second to
none. We are fortunate to have a strong amateur golf association
that every year organizes and manages some of
the best competitions found anywhere. This is clearly evident
by looking at the impressive list of great players who
have won our championships throughout the years. We've
had members of our association go on to win U.S. Amateurs,
compete on winning Walker Cup teams, and even
become prominent professional golfers on the PGA and
LPGA tours. Our MGA events are played on great venues,
conducted in a professional manner and are extremely
competitive. I can state with confi dence that we are known
throughout the country for having a very strong association
because of the high quality of our tournaments and
the champions who win those events.
So, it is easy and right-thinking to be a passionate and
proud Minnesota golfer. We have a state full of great places
to play, and I hope you get out this year and experience
what our golf courses have to offer. I can't wait for the
coming golf season.
This is the fi rst column from Jim Lehman, who starts his
two-year term as MGA president this month. Read his
columns in this space in every issue of Minnesota Golfer.
