Making the Game Better for Over 80 Years
The mission of the Gateway PGA, which is comprised of over 335 professionals at over 200 facilities in eastern and central Missouri and southern Illinois, is to abide by the above PGA Golf Professional’s Code of Ethics and to provide its members with meaningful playing, educational and financial opportunities while promoting golf at all levels in the geographical confines of the organization.
In 1916, the ‘Central Section’ was created as one of seven PGA Section offices. The Central Section included Arkansas, Utah, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas. From the Central Section, the closest form of the current Section was born in 1931 and known as the ‘Eastern Missouri Section.’ In 1976, the Eastern Missouri Section became the ‘Gateway PGA Section’ with its current boundaries of Eastern and Central Missouri, and Southern Illinois.

While talking with @marvinherrod about being a minority in golf he said "I have always felt unique and one of a kind and never felt self conscious about being the only person with Hispanic heritage at a golf tournament, at a PGA event, or at a country club. I have always just been, “Marvin.“
Part of this he attributes to who he watched playing golf growing up. Take a look at who infatuated young Marvin.

Before Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close next week we want to highlight section members with Hispanic heritage.
We asked member @marvinherrod why is it important for kids to see adults who look like them working in the golf field?
