Ron Self Award:

The 2011 Ron Self Award was presented to Frank Wideen at the 2011 MPGA Fall Banquet held at Rum River Hills on Friday October 7th. Congratulations to Frank, a very deserving winner of this Award.

Since 1973, the MPGA has presented an award intended to recognize an individual that has made a significant contribution to the interest, growth and spirit of Minnesota Public Golf. This award is presented in memory of Ron Self, a past MPGA Executive Committee Member who lost his life to cancer in the early 1970’s.

The MPGA Executive Committee considers this award to be of great significance. The list of winners of the Ron Self Award includes some of the great names in Minnesota Public Golf.

The Minnesota Public Golf Association consists of a Board of Directors, represented by the President of each member club, and an Executive Committee elected by the Board at its fall meeting. There are over 80 member clubs, consisting of over 17,000 golfers. The purpose of the MPGA is to both promote interest in the sport and to conserve the true spirit of the game of golf. The MPGA hosts events and competitions that appeal to golfers of all abilities and ages.

Rangefinders
For all forms of Minnesota Public Golf Association (MPGA) competition, the MPGA authorizes the use of Rangefinders for distance measurements only as per the suggested USGA local rule.

Distance-Measuring Devices:
For all MPGA competitions, a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. If, during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g., gradient, wind speed, temperature, etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional function is actually used."
