A Message of Gratitude from Newport National Golf Club to the NEPGA

A Message of Gratitude from Newport National Golf Club

We are honored and humbled by the kind words from Michael Higgins and the New England PGA (NEPGA) regarding our recent hosting of their Stroke Play Series event.

At Newport National, we strive to provide an exceptional experience for all players, and it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that our efforts were successful.

We extend our sincere thanks to the NEPGA and look forward to many more collaborations in the future!

the letter in Full from Mr. Higgins is as follows:

Dear Mr. Hall,

On behalf of the New England PGA Board of Directors, Staff, and participants of the first Stroke Play Series event of 2024, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to you and your entire team at Newport National for being fantastic hosts. I greatly appreciate you opening your doors to us to kick off the season each year, and cannot say enough about how valuable your support is to the success of events like these.

The rave reviews and elevated interest in this event are testament to your management expertise and the way in which your club is operated. From the moment players arrive on site they are met with professionalism and hospitality across the board, whether it be the outside staff working diligently to stage carts or the F&B representatives ensuring a timely and delicious lunch.

As always, Chris was a tremendous help and pleasure to work with while preparing for and carrying out the event. Thanks to his extensive facility knowledge and willingness to accommodate our needs, we were able to offer a seamless experience for the field both on and off the course.

Newport National seems to be in mid-summer condition no matter the month, but Simon and his staff exceeded our expectations this year with the pristine course conditioning in April. There was nothing but high praise from players regarding the shape of the course, and the speed and quality of the greens sparked a multitude of positive comments from our participating members.

Thank you again for your continued hospitality, we feel very fortunate to offer our professionals the opportunity to play and compete at Newport National each year. We hope to continue this tradition, and look forward to being back at NNGC in the future!

Yours Truly,

Michael J. Higgins Executive Director
