LYNN MYERS, PGA IS AWARDED THE SOUTH FLORIDA PGA PLAYER DEVELOPMENT AWARD

As featured on the South Florida Section PGA website, Lynn Myers, PGA Assistant Professional at Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club has been awarded the South Florida PGA Player Development Award.

The Player Development Award recognizes a PGA Professional who has made extraordinary contributions and achievements in the area of player development.

"I am delighted and honored to receive the Player Development Award," said Myers. "The South Florida Section is so strong and has many talented professionals. Each of us works on a daily basis to share our love of the game and help more players participate."

Myers' contagious love for the game of golf has been the centerpiece for success throughout her 30-year career as a PGA Professional, helping her gain trust with each player she works with.

Since beginning at Harbor Ridge Yacht and Country Club in 2002, Myers has developed a roadmap to building successful golfers, starting with beginner-level programming and a pathway to build a young player through personal support and enthusiasm.

In addition to Myers' successful junior programming, she has increased the number of lessons at Harbor Ridge by 17 percent in 2020 and 25 percent in 2021 and has brought many new players to the game, including many females.

Myers has also implemented programs at Harbor Ridge to increase player fitness, catering to older members in an effort to create lifelong golfers. Through all the programs she offers at Harbor Ridge, Myers has cultivated a community where each golfer is included at her facility.

"Thank you for the opportunity to stand with the other award winners, both past and present, who have inspired me," continued Myers. "I truly appreciate the award and the work of both the Section and the committees to make it happen."

The PGA Professional Development Award is one of the South Florida PGA's annual awards. The SFPGA honored Myers during a private celebration in front of family and friends at Harbor Ridge Yacht and Country Club last week.
