IRA MOLAYO

Director of Golf

Cedar Crest Golf Course

Elected to Membership: 2007

PGA Member in Section Since: 2007

Ira currently serves as the Section's Vice President. He says, "I’m running for election because I believe deeply in service to our Members and in the role the PGA plays in strengthening our profession and our communities. Golf has given me opportunities I never imagined, and I feel a responsibility to give back in a meaningful way.

Having served on the Board and as an officer, I understand the importance of listening, consistency, and clear communication. My goal is to represent all Members across facilities, roles, and backgrounds and to support our staff and volunteers who do exceptional work every day.

I’m not running to change everything, but to build on the strong foundation already in place, to be accessible, and to help the Section continue moving forward together. I believe leadership is about showing up, doing the work, and making people feel heard, and that’s the approach I intend to bring to this role."

Dallas National Golf Club

Elected to Membership: 2009

PGA Member in Section Since: 2019

Neil is running for another term as an At-Large Director on the Board because, "While I was still an Associate working towards membership in South Florida, I put my name forward for a spot on the SE Chapter Assistants Committee. For over 20 years now, I have continued to serve the Section or Chapter. Service at this level has been a huge part of my career, and I hope I have made a positive impact along the way. I believe as I have grown as a Professional, the experiences and tenure I have had within Section Governance allow me to serve as a more valuable asset. I love being involved, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to give back and I always learn something new with each endeavor. I look forward to the continued opportunity to contribute to the success of the Section and our fellow Professionals."
