Q&A With Maggie
- "I was lucky enough to consider the professional staff at City Park my community of coaches who taught me the impact a PGA Professional can have on the life of a child."
- "Golf is an equalizer and doesn't discriminate. Anyone can learn to play golf. It has the ability to bring entire communities together."
- "The opportunity to blend my passion for golf and career right away wasn't something I was willing to pass up."
- "So many of my favorite people were always at the golf course, and I had so much fun at work that I knew I would be happy if I got to spend every day at a golf course..."

What people say about Maggie
“Maggie Hartman is a standout example of the positive influence a coach can have on a student. I hope to one day lead with the same passion and integrity she demonstrates every day. Even after I aged out of junior golf, she continued to stay connected and supportive—something I’ll always value.”
~ Madison Brown, PGA Student
"There is a very special moment that happens in coaching where your student is working hard to execute a golf shot, and they figure it out and look back at you with a big smile. That is the greatest moment." ~Maggie
Tips for Parents of Competitive Juniors
- Never force them to stay at the golf course. Leaving should never be the reward ("We can leave when you make 3 more putts").
- Reward effort, not outcomes. Make it their idea & honor their autonomy.
- Never golf hungry. Eat first.
- You both should be having fun. If that changes, ask a PGA Pro for help.
- Ice cream has never made things worse.

Longmont, Colo . - What a difference a day makes as cloudy skies and cool temperatures greeted the players on day two of the Colorado Senior PGA Professional Championship, compared to hot and sunny temperatures during the opening round. Caine Fitzgerald, PGA Head Professional at Meadow Hills Golf Course, took a 3-shot lead into the final round after a 3-under-par 67 on day one. “The 3-under on day one was fortunate, the golf course is very difficult and is tough to make putts, Fitzgerald said.” Three back of Fitzgerald to start the day was the 2012 and 2013 senior champion, Doug Rohrbaugh, PGA Instructor at River Valley Ranch Golf Course, and four back was the 2022 and 2023 champion Matt Schalk, PGA General Manager at Colorado National Golf Club.

Centennial, Colo. - It was a beautiful day to crown a champion at Valley Country Club for the 67th Colorado PGA Professional Championship. Geoff Keffer, PGA Assistant Professional at Lakewood Country Club began the day with a two-shot lead over Tristin Goodwin, PGA Assistant Professional at Cherry Hills Country Club. Goodwin started the day red hot as he birdied four of his first six holes and added an eagle on hole 5 as he holed his wedge shot from 40 yards out. After hole 6 Goodwin had flipped a two-shot deficit into a three-shot lead. “My strategy did not change, but my mindset definitely changed a little bit, I started to feel more pressure as I was leading the golf tournament now,” Goodwin said. Bogies on holes 7 and 9, the two par threes on the front nine, and a birdie from Keffer on 7, Goodwin and Keffer made the turn to the back nine dead even at 9-under-par.
