John Cozza |
The Dudley Award was created after the 2003 Annual Banquet at the request of honoree Chi Chi Rodriguez. Mr. Dudley was a teacher and mentor to Chi Chi when Dudley was head professional at Dorado Beach Country Club in Puerto Rico. Dudley, who died in 1963, had a superb career in golf. He was the first head professional at the Augusta National Golf Club and served as a professional at The Broadmoor in Colorado for 22 years. He finished third in the 1937 Masters. He is best remembered as a teacher, and his students included former President Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower, whom he cured of his slice, former USGA President Judy Bell, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. He served as President of the PGA of America from 1942-1948 and was elected to the PGA Golf Hall of Fame in 1964.
Our 2009-2010 Dudley recipient is John Cozza who did 6 years of service to golf at Tatnuck Country Club where he worked in the Pro Shop and as a caddie. John is a sophomore at Coastal Carolina University majoring in Professional Golf Management. He was very involved with extra curricular activities in high school, and last year he played in our golf marathon and helped to raise a considerable amount of money from Tatnuck Country Club.
Over the next few months we will be highlighting our various Endowed Scholarships, giving you a glimpse into who created them, and what scholars are recipients for 2010.
