Team NTPGA Wins the 7th Levy Cup Matches

Steven Clements • November 7, 2023

WHITNEY, TX – The Northern Texas PGA team claimed their third straight Levy Cup Matches title with a score of 12.5–11.5 over the Southern Texas PGA.


It was a tight battle all day between the two teams competing at White Bluff Resort - The New Course. STPGA got off to a hot start winning four of the first five matches of the day, but the NTPGA was able to gain momentum with the later matches. It all would eventually come down to the second to last match of the day.


Spencer Dillard, PGA assistant professional at Preston Trail Golf Club was the lucky member to clinch the cup for the NTPGA. After losing the 16th hole to bring his match back into a tie Dillard stepped onto the par-3 17th tee as the only match left on the course. He was able to hit the green and two-putt to win the hole and guarantee the final half point needed for the Northern Texas team.


Stuart Hendley, PGA director of instruction at Dallas Athletic Club, who made his fourth Levy Cup appearance this week, went undefeated and earned all three possible points.  His overall record is now 9-1-1.


Matt Lohmeyer (SLICGOLF), Todd McCorkle (Life Member), Gabe Reynolds (Topgolf - Dallas), Brian Norman (Lakewood Country Club), Spencer Dillard (Preston Trail Golf Club) and Stuart Hendley (Dallas Athletic Club) all earned points today for the NTPGA.


The Levy Cup is a Ryder Cup-style format featuring teams represented by four Assistant PGA Professionals and four Senior PGA Professionals (any classification, aged 50 and older) and four PGA Members Other who qualified through their respective Section Major Championships. The Matches were created in 2017 to celebrate Paul Levy, PGA who was completing his first year of a two-year term as President of the PGA of America. During his career Paul has been a member of both Sections


On Sunday night during the opening ceremonies Paul Levy announced the creation of the Levy Cup Scholarship. The new scholarship will be awarded to a deserving high school senior from the NTPGA or the STPGA Junior Golf Tours on a yearly basis. It will alternate based on which Section is hosting that year's matches.


The scholarship was made possible by a $25,000 donation from the PGA of America. They support past presidents of the PGA with a one-time donation to a 501(c)(3) golf related foundation. In addition to the initial donation, Paul Levy announced that he and his wife Heidi were matching the donation to bring the total scholarship fund to $50,000.


“Our goal is to grow the scholarship significantly over the coming years,” said Levy.


Mark Harrison, CEO of the NTPGA said, “The NTPGA and STPGA are appreciative of the support of the PGA of America and Mr. and Mrs. Levy for the creation of this new scholarship.”


The 7th Levy Cup Matches were presented by Club Car, Dunning, Levelwear and Ping.

Headley and del Olmo Capture First Section Victories at Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship

By Steven Clements • September 17, 2025
LEWISVILLE, Texas (September 16) – Adam Headley, PGA head professional at Green Tree Country Club captured the Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship after a 6-under-par final round. His bogey-free 34-32–66 and a first round 69, got him to 9-under-par for the Championship and a one stroke victory. It also earned Headley an exemption into the 2026 THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Headley was playing in the third to last group and began the final round three strokes behind the leaders. He quickly fell further behind the lead after starting with three pars, until a birdie at the par-5 4th hole got things going. On the back nine it was a battle between Headley and Brian Norman, PGA instructor at Lakewood Country Club. Headley eagled the 12th hole and added two more birdies on 15 and 18 to close and post 9-under-par. “My goal today was to play the par fives 4-under. I accomplished that,” said Headley. “I don’t like to look at the leaderboard, but I looked at it going into 18 tee and had a feeling I was sitting pretty good there.” “Honestly I didn’t think I'd ever win one. Not because I'm not a good player but because we have so many good players in the Section. If I had to choose any tournament to win, it would be this one.” Headley earned $9,250 along with his exemption into THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. “I’ve been a golf pro for almost 20 years and now to be playing in a PGA TOUR event, I don’t care how I do, It’s going to be a blast. I’m super excited about it, it’s a dream come true.”

The PGA of America announced today that Ronny Glanton, PGA head professional at Sherrill Park Golf Course, will be inducted into the PGA of America Hall of Fame.

Upon achieving PGA of America membership in 1984, he took over as Head Professional and has been at the Richardson facility ever since. He is the only member to serve twice as President of the NTPGA (2006-07, ‘18-’19). Glanton played a key role in the PGA of America’s relocation to Frisco, Texas. He is a passionate advocate for junior golf, developing impactful programs like the Sherrill Park Learning Center and the Hawks junior golf team, which have introduced thousands of new golfers to the game; his leadership in the creation of “The Ronny” Golf Park on the PGA Frisco campus further expands community outreach and player development. Among his previous awards are PGA of America Golf Professional of the Year (2020), NTPGA Golf Professional of the Year (1999, ‘07, ‘19), NTPGA Bill Strausbaugh Award (2003-05, ‘08, ‘14) and NTPGA Merchandiser of the Year (1994), plus induction into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame in 2022.
