BOISE, Idaho – The Idaho Golf Association Board of Directors announced Monday the departure of current Executive Director, Adam McCormick.
“I’m so proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish since January of 2018 when I joined the staff, and I couldn’t be more excited for what the future holds for the IGA.” McCormick said. “While I’ll miss the relationships that I’ve made in the Idaho golf community, the opportunity to go back home with my wife and son to be closer to family is once in a lifetime.”
McCormick leaves the Idaho Golf Association after a two-year tenure which saw the membership of the organization grow 12%, and helped to foster a burgeoning relationship with the Idaho Junior Golf Foundation. The IJGF provides financial support for junior golfers in need, subsidizing the Youth On Course program, lowering membership fees, helping traveling teams meet their expenses, and providing trophies and prizes to juniors across the state.
McCormick joined the Idaho Golf Association in 2018, after serving as the Director of Competitions for the Tennessee Golf Association from 2012-2017. He was previously with the Kansas City Golf Association starting in 2010.
“Adam has helped the organization take some massive strides in the last few years, and we’re sorry to see him go. We know how hard he has worked in his time here, and we wish him nothing but the best.” said Russ Peterson, President, Idaho Golf Association Board of Directors.
With the departure of McCormick, the Board of Directors has named current Handicap & Course Rating Director, Caleb Cox, as the new Executive Director of the Idaho Golf Association. He will assume the role starting March 16, 2020.
Cox joined the Idaho Golf Association in 2017, after serving as an Assistant Golf Professional for five years beginning in Oklahoma before moving to Idaho. He has served as the Handicap & Course Rating Director for the last three years at the Idaho Golf Association.
“I’m appreciative and humbled that the Board of Directors has put their trust in my abilities, and I’m so excited to get started.” Cox said. “The Association has taken great strides during Adam’s time here, and I’m hopeful that I can continue to carry the momentum and further the organization.”
