Boise, Idaho — The Idaho Golf Association has a new chief in its championship department, welcoming PGA member Kyle Weeks aboard as Manager of Rules and Competitions.
After a career largely focused on innovating how the game is taught — most recently as Director of Golf at Eagle Hills Golf Course — Weeks says he’s eager to return his attention to the competitive game.
“I’m very excited to join the team at the IGA,” Weeks said. “I think competition is the most exciting part of the game and I am really looking forward to bringing my experience as a player and PGA Professional to help grow competitive golf in Idaho.”
While Week’s resumé is headlined by his credentials as a teacher, his work shows exemplary leadership and a routine commitment to growth by advocating for ways to make the game more approachable for players of all ability levels. He’s armed with a keen sense for evolving with the game.
“Kyle’s experience speaks for itself,” IGA Executive Director Caleb Cox said. “With more than a decade of leadership not just in golf but golf in Idaho, Kyle is an ideal candidate to serve our membership. His perspective on education and commitment to fostering community around the game aligns perfectly with our mission, and we are confident that his credentials as a golf professional will elevate the championship experience for players of all kinds.”
Before earning PGA membership in 2012, the New Plymouth High School grad played golf at Treasure Valley Community College before transferring to the Professional Golf Management (PGM) program at the University of Idaho, then to Boise State. He would go on to complete the PGM program outside of a university setting, but make no mistake: Weeks bleeds blue and orange.
Weeks began working in the golf industry in 2006 under Dave Bartels at Terrace Lakes Golf Course in Garden Valley, eventually earning the title of Assistant Pro in 2009. When Eagle Hills Golf Course came calling in 2012, Weeks landed his first gig as Head Professional.
In 2016, Weeks hopped over state lines to work at Bend Golf Club in Oregon and a short stint teaching full time at Lost Track Golf Club. Eventually, the Treasure Valley called him home, landing him back at Eagle Hills as Director of Golf in 2019.
Weeks lives in the Eagle foothills with his wife, Lindsey, and two daughters, Palmer (two) and Kollins (8 months). When he’s not working or on the golf course, he enjoys spending time outside with a slate of hobbies familiar to Idahoans such as hiking, hunting, and fishing.
Weeks is set to take the reins March 18.
