Promises
This website is intended to help all PGA Members, and those serving as delegates for the 2026 PGA Annual Meeting, learn more about me as a candidate for PGA Secretary and better understand my experience, passion, and commitment to our Association, the PGA of America.
Following the last PGA Secretary election cycle, it was determined that the 2026 election cycle would not officially begin until May 4, 2026, with the Super Regionals scheduled for August 18–21, 2026. With that in mind, and out of respect for every delegate’s professional responsibility and time, my promise prior to the Super Regionals is to communicate based on the individual requests of each Section and its Delegates. I am always available by cell at (330) 730-2121 or by email at sparker@pgahq.com.
This website reflects my passion for my fellow PGA Professionals and for our Association. Through my service in the leadership chairs of the Northern Ohio PGA and as District 5 Director, I have come to understand two important truths: first, the PGA can never lose sight of the PGA Member, and every strategic decision our Association makes must be for the benefit of the PGA Member; second, the 41 Sections of our Association are where the rubber meets the road, and we must better utilize the Executive Directors Committee to help prioritize meaningful initiatives.
The PGA members are the backbone of the golf industry.
