Kristie Fowler: 2017 LPGA T&CP Professional of the Year

Earlier this month, we introduced you to Tubac Golf Resort and Spa—a luxurious 27-hole resort with pristine hacienda accommodations. In addition to being praised the golf world over for it’s course originally made famous by the classic “Tin Cup” film, Tubac boasts some of the best teaching professionals in the country. Most recently, the LPGA Teaching and and Club Professional Awards named Tubac pro, Kristie Fowler, the recipient of the 2017 LPGA T&CP Professional of the Year Award.

The LPGA released the following statement regarding Fowler’s accomplishment:

Professional of the Year, Kristie Fowler

“The LPGA T&CP Professional of the Year was established in 1980 and is awarded annually to an LPGA Teaching and Club Professional member primarily engaged in a golf operation, golf association or industry position, promoting the game through player development, growth of the game initiatives and other golf related activities.

Kristie Fowler was named the Head Golf Professional at the Tubac Golf Resort in March of 2017, and prior to landing her “dream job” she was an Assistant Professional at The Gallery Golf Club for 15 years.

“I am very proud and excited to have been selected as the Golf Professional of the Year! It is truly an honor,” Fowler said.

Fowler was a four-year letter winner at the University of Arizona, and has one professional victory to her name while playing on what is now the Symetra Tour. She joined the T&CP in 1990 and worked her way up to Master status in 2012.

In addition to her professional work, she has served on the Arizona Women’s Golf Association committee to assist Arizona high school girls golf programs, and has been involved in mentor programs as an LPGA section member advisor. In recognition of her good works, Fowler was named the Central Section LPGA Golf Professional of the Year in 2011 and 2015, and earned the 2016 LPGA Marilynn Smith Service Award.”
