PGA TOUR's Martin Flores Makes Donation to Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation

NTPGA • June 16, 2017

Dallas, Texas – PGA TOUR professional and Fort Worth native, Martin Flores, continues his support of the NTPGA Junior Golf Foundation in 2017 by providing 60 NTPGA Junior Tour memberships to First Tee programs in North Texas and supporting the All American Tour as the namesake of the Martin Flores DAC Open that was conducted at Dallas Athletic Club on June 12-13. This is the third consecutive year that Flores has supported the NTPGA Junior Golf Foundation.

The Martin Flores DAC Junior Open was a 36-hole, nationally-ranked competition that hosted some of the most talented junior golfers in the state. The event was played on the Gold Course at Dallas Athletic Club.

“I was very fortunate as a kid to have a place like the NTPGA to play and I think that helped my development as player and helped me to be where I am right now,” said Flores. “I know what it’s like to want to play in college or professionally, and I always think it’s important to help out our next generation. Also, I love to see the development of kids; how they practice, how they play, continue to get better and strive for their goals. I love to be a part of that.”

“Martin is one of the many former NTPGA Junior Tour members who have gone on to have great success, and we are so proud of him,” said Mark Harrison, Executive Director / CEO of the Northern Texas PGA. “It is an honor to have him support our Junior Tour and provide access to the game for so many aspiring junior golfers.”

Norman and Massa (a) Win Again at the Srixon and Nike Pro-Scratch Championship

By Steven Clements • April 2, 2025
DALLAS, Texas (April 1) – Brian Norman, PGA instructor at Lakewood Country Club, and Bobby Massa (a) fought through a 3-hole playoff to win the 2025 Srixon and Nike Pro-Scratch title. It marks their third victory in four attempts. Starting the final round one-stroke behind the lead, they carded the second lowest round of the day at 8-under-par, 32-32–64. Their five birdies on the back-nine was enough to get them into a playoff. Joining them in the playoff was Peyton Coursey, Associate at Dallas Athletic Club, and David Schultz (a). The pair turned in the lowest round of the day and the Championship at 9-under-par, 31-32–63. Both teams played in the favorable morning conditions, which featured tame winds, compared to the gusty afternoon conditions. This also left them both with lengthy waits to see if their scores would hold up through the afternoon wave. They did. The playoff for the Open Division title began on the par-4, 18th hole. Both teams made par and they proceeded to the par-5, 3rd hole. Two birdies on the par-5, 3rd hole led both teams back to the 18th tee. All four players hit the fairway. Norman was the first to hit his approach and he hit the green. Then the pair from Dallas Athletic Club both missed the green. Finally, Massa (a) hit his approach to 15-feet, just off the green, long left of the hole. Massa (a) was the last to attempt his birdie opportunity and stepped up to the downhill left-to-right putt with a chance to win the Championship. Tracking the whole way, it dropped and the pair had won their third Pro-Scratch title. “We got off to a kind of slow start, but got on the back and got hot and made some birdies,” said Norman about their round this morning. “We were just ham and egging it,” added Massa (a). “We think very similarly about golf so it’s easy to bounce ideas back and forth,” said Massa (a) about the three-time winning duo. The team earned $2,000 ($1,000 each) for the victory today.

That’s how you play good golf.” Five teams sit only one stroke behind the two leading teams and will be aiming to take the title tomorrow.
