In 2016, the Nebraska Section PGA Employment Committee did an extensive study of the Section Membership that is comprised of nearly 270 PGA Members and Apprentices. Currently, the Section has 116 PGA Members who have been PGA Members for over 20 and or 50 years of age and older.

Collectively this group is comprised of some very talented men and women who have had a tremendous impact on our Section and Association. For many of these PGA Members their desire to give back to the game is stronger than ever and thus an opportunity to foster a relationship with next generation of PGA Professionals.

So begins the annual Legends and Young Guns Golf Tournament! The format of this newly developed tournament is as follows:

- Two (2) Legends and (2) Young Guns (PGA golf management students)
- Date will be on Thursday, April 26 at Woodland Hills Golf Course in Eagle, Nebraska
- There will be a "meet and greet" for all participants prior to the start of the tournament
- The Nebraska Section of the PGA will present their scholarships to four (4) worthy PGA Golf Management students before the luncheon
- Lunch and range opens at 10:30 AM
- Group picture at 11:20 AM
- There will be a "shotgun" start at 11:30 AM
- Format will be a 2 best ball of four covering 18 holes

Developing networks and creating long-lasting relationships is the direct outcome of this tournament. Involvement in PGA section events and activities is an important task for any new PGA professional. This experience will allow our current PGA golf management students to meet and interact with the current members in the Nebraska Section of the PGA.
