The lifeblood of the PNGA is the volunteerism that encompasses every aspect of the organization. The PNGA is encompassed by remarkable people that volunteer selfless and numerous hours to the game because they care so deeply about its well-being. Every two years a committee comprised of PNGA Past Presidents reviews nominees made by the golfing public and the media and then selects a recipient(s) of the PNGA Distinguished Service Award in recognition of meritorious service to amateur golf, not necessarily as a competitive player. This prestigious award is considered the Association’s highest honor, as it recognizes some of the selfless volunteers who have donated their time and treasure simply for the betterment of golf.
