BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Golf Association is pleased to begin the new year by welcoming a new full-time member to the staff.
Beaux Yenchik has been named the new Manager of Media and Communications of the IGA. Prior to joining the staff, Yenchik was in the hospitality business, leaving Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City, Utah, where he worked for the last two and a half years.
Yenchik joins the IGA with nearly 10 years of experience in the golf industry. He has held several positions in the sport: a communication intern at the Utah Golf Association, a golf club technician, and a bag boy and caddie at the Country Club of Salt Lake.
“What a great opportunity it is to work for the IGA," exclaimed Yenchik when asked about his new role. “There is a lot of proud history when it comes to the IGA. It has a membership that loves the game of golf. As somebody who loves it, too, and loves sharing information with others, this position could not be a better fit for me. I’m looking forward to what the future holds and helping further the game of golf in the great state of Idaho!”
Outside of his time in golf, Yenchik worked in the media industry as a sports journalist and copywriter—having had opportunities to cover local golf in Utah. Something Yenchik said he “absolutely loved doing" and is now pleased to have as a daily occurrence here in Idaho.
“We are extremely excited to welcome [Yenchik] to our team this year,” said Caleb Cox, Executive Director of the IGA. “He will bring a fresh eye to the way we do things with his past experiences in the golf and recreation industries. It will be exciting to see what his impact will be for us over the next several years."
The IGA officially welcomed Yenchik to the staff on Jan. 3, 2022.
