Today as part of our Centennial Celebration, we are saluting Paul Michaelian for serving as the MAPGA’s 41st Section President! From his early days as a cart boy in Williamsburg to leading as Head PGA Professional at several prestigious clubs, including The Princess Anne Country Club, Paul ...dedicated his life to growing the game and serving others.

During his leadership with the MAPGA, Paul rose through the ranks from Southern Chapter Secretary to Section President (2004–2005). He later represented the Section nationally on the PGA Board of Control, where he reviewed hundreds of cases each year—always striving to help and guide his fellow PGA Professionals.

Paul’s contributions were recognized with the MAPGA Professional Development Award in 1994, Professional of the Year Award in 2003, and in 2024 he was inducted into the MAPGA Hall of Fame. As we celebrate our Centennial, we honor Paul’s legacy of leadership, mentorship, and his lifelong love for the game of golf. ⛳ #mapga100
