James Waitt, 32, who served as the director of marketing for the AGA during 1999, has been named director of rules and competitions. In his new position Waitt will oversee the entire AGA tournament program and continue his marketing role.
Sean O’Malley, 28, a University of Arizona graduate and the AGA’s P.J. Boatwright Jr. Intern the previous six months, has been promoted to course rating manager. Besides assisting with tournament operations under Waitt’s guidance, O’Malley is responsible for lasering and rating new golf courses and re-rating existing courses.
Minnesota native and Chandler resident Lois Martens was named executive assistant to executive director Ed Gowan in November. Martens served in a similar capacity for the Minnesota Vikings before moving to Arizona.
The Arizona Golf Association's mission is to foster the enhancement and expansion of the game of golf by leading in the development of member and information services, the promotion of opportunities for all who want to play, and the protection of the game's integrity and valued traditions.
