Boyne’s Bernie Friedrich Named Michigan PGA Golf Executive of the Year Bernie Friedrich, Senior Vice President of Golf at BOYNE Resorts, has captured the first Golf Executive of the Year, awarded by the Michigan PGA. The honor bestows special recognition on a PGA Golf Professional, who has performed outstanding services for a multiple facility/ course management/ownership operation, allied association, or golf industry executive management position. As one of the highest honors the PGA can bestow, candidates must possess outstanding qualities of leadership, vision, courage, strong moral character, and a substantial record of service to the Association and the game of golf. “I am thrilled to receive this award,” says Friedrich, a 38-year PGA member who oversees BOYNE Golf’s 13 courses and semi-private clubs in Michigan, Maine, and Montana that includes all staff, course agronomy and marketing nationwide plus two golf membership groups— Bay Harbor Golf Club and Country Club of Boyne. “It’s such an honor to be recognized for helping BOYNE become the premier golf destination in the Midwest. Our staff here is best-in-class, and this award is every bit representative of their hard work as much as mine.” Friedrich was born in Germany and moved to Michigan as a young boy. He started as a golf professional at Boyne Mountain and on August 26th celebrated his 46th year at Michigan’s largest resort. Michigan Golf Journal
