FSGA Online

Michael Lonergan and Scrib Kelly, of The Villages, were selected as the Tournament Volunteers-of-the-Year. In their short time with the FSGA, the two have volunteered at more than 100 events combined. Scrib started with the FSGA in 2005 while Mike joined in 2006 and they haven’t stopped since. They work at all events ranging from the Florida Junior Tour to Winter Series and recently helped with the High School Championships. They actively recruit new volunteers in The Villages area and bring interested volunteers along to events. They are credited for introducing many new volunteers to the FSGA and organizing the group to travel together to events. They even hold a monthly Rules get together to discuss Rules scenarios and freshen up their Rules knowledge. Mike and Scrib are already registered to volunteer at many events in 2008.

In the Course Rating area, Ron Audi, of Ocala, was awarded the Volunteer-of-the-Year. With ten years of course rating experience in Vermont, Ron joined the Section 5 Course Rating Team in 2001 and became Captain in 2003. With seven counties and over 100 courses to rate, Ron’s team keeps busy rating 10-12 courses per year. Ron was selected three times to attend the USGA Eastern Calibration where the FSGA team took top honors. A past Board Member, Ron continues his course rating education by attending seminars and sharing his experiences with his team.
