Northern Texas PGA Hires Chad Moscovic for New Role as Director of Golf Park Programming

Molly Rawlins • June 3, 2022

DALLAS, TEXAS – The Northern Texas PGA (NTPGA) is pleased to announce that Chad Moscovic, PGA, has accepted the role to become the Section’s Director of Golf Park Programming starting at the end of June. 


This is a new role that the NTPGA Board of Directors and executive staff spent time developing with the Northern Texas PGA’s upcoming move to Frisco in mind. 


Along with the Section’s new office building on the PGA Frisco campus, there will be the adjacent Dr. Bill Blair and Randy Smith Who’s Next Pavilion and 2-acre synthetic turf, lighted Golf Park. The purpose of the pavilion and the Golf Park is to expand the NTPGA Foundation’s community outreach and growth of the game programs. The new position was created to develop and guide this expansion, and Moscovic, a long-time member of the NTPGA, has been hired to lead the way.


“We are thrilled to welcome Chad to the Northern Texas PGA team,” said Mark Harrison, Executive Director/CEO of the NTPGA. “Chad will be an exceptional member of the team and is extremely qualified and eager to take on this vital role as the Section looks to begin this new phase at PGA Frisco.”


In this role, Moscovic will be responsible for the overall success of Golf Park programming by planning, budgeting and executing all programs. Programming will include after school programs, summer camps, PGA Jr. League, early start programs for kids ages 3-5, home school programs during the day, parent / junior clinics, skills competitions, Drive, Chip & Putt, special needs programs and PGA HOPE. Moscovic will also assist with the construction of the Golf Park by giving input on some design elements that can relate to and impact programming. Construction of the Golf Park will start later this month. 


“I am looking forward to this new role and the challenge of creating something from the ground up,” said Moscovic.  “The NTPGA Foundation has set the stage, and with this new complex, we will be able to grow the game in many new and unique ways. I am most excited about engaging middle school-aged and younger boys and girls of all skill levels using a student-centric, play-based model that gives them the freedom to discover and explore the game. I am aiming to create the most dynamic junior golf community in the country, and I’m eager to get to work.”


Moscovic describes himself as a positive, enthusiastic, prepared and passionate professional. For the past five years, he has been the director of player development at Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas. Other previous roles he has held in the Section include the director of instruction at Stonebridge Ranch Country Club and Eldorado Country Club. Moscovic has won the Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship three times including back-to-back wins in 2020 and 2021. 


He also won the NTPGA’s Randy Smith Youth Development award in 2016. This award is presented to a PGA Member who is a leader in junior golf, reflects the qualities and ideals of those who work with youth, and provides opportunities and experiences for juniors to learn and play golf. He also won the 2021 Section PGA Player Development Award, which recognizes a PGA Member for their extraordinary contributions to player development. 


Chad’s first day with the Northern Texas PGA team will be Tuesday, June 21, 2022.

Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour to PGA Professional: Spencer Dillard’s Journey to Success

By Sarah Jordan • February 11, 2025
Spencer Dillard’s rise from a young golfer to a devoted PGA of America Golf Professional is a story of passion and purpose. His love for the game began when he was gifted a Tiger Wood’s golf video game as a kid. Spencer, who is now an Assistant Golf Professional at Preston Trail Golf Club, reflects on a journey shaped by the Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour. Spencer’s golfing journey began at the age of seven when his parents enrolled him in a small golf camp in McKinney, Texas. A year later, he discovered the Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour and started competing in tournaments. These early experiences helped him develop both his skills and excitement for the game. Spencer’s first experience on the junior tour was memorable. “I think I shot 72 for my very first [Prep Tour] event,” Dillard shares. “By the end of that year, I shot a 46. I was so happy to go from shooting a 72 for nine holes to [shooting] in the 40s.”

Northern Texas PGA Receives 2025 Herb Graffis Award

By Sarah Jordan • January 22, 2025
Today, our Section was selected as the 2025 Herb Graffis Award recipient! The award is given annually to one of the 41 PGA of America Sections for tireless dedication to growing the game of golf and furthering player-development programming in the community. Thank you to all of our PGA of America Golf Professionals who are involved in so many of our Foundation programs, helping us to impact lives in the communities we serve in North Texas!  Led by President Cameron Doan, PGA, and Executive Director Kelly Gilley, PGA, the Section is backed by a membership of more than 1,000 PGA of America Golf Professionals who are employed at more than 300 facilities. The Section’s mission is to promote the enjoyment and involvement in the game of golf and to contribute to its growth by providing services to golf professionals and the golf industry. The NTPGA’s success is fueled by the Northern Texas PGA Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization dedicated to promoting and growing the game of golf among diverse groups of kids in North Texas, and instilling in them the positive, character-developing traits for which the game is known. Annually, approximately 10,000 children and their families are impacted through the Foundation’s full circle of programs and services. Today, based on the three key pillars of the PGA of America REACH Foundation—Youth, Military, Diverse populations—as well as pillars for college scholarships, internships and inclusion, the Foundation reaches a greater audience to promote and grow the game. The centerpiece of the Foundation’s golf programming is the Ronny Golf Park, a first-of-its-kind facility that features a two-acre, lighted golf park made entirely of fully synthetic turf. It can be enjoyed rain or shine, day or night. It is designed with junior golfers in mind, and led by the Section’s PGA-led staff, who offer a variety of programs for children ages 3-14. The Section will be formally recognized again later this year when the PGA of America hosts its Annual Meeting at PGA Frisco in November. Congratulations to all of the 2025 PGA of America award recipients! A full list can be found HERE .
