Summary and Background Information: The Colorado Professional Golf Association (PGA) Section recognized Jared Butler, a PGA assistant professional at Buffalo Run Golf Course as the 2012 apprentice player of the year.
The Colorado PGA Apprentice Player of the Year Award is presented to a PGA Apprentice based on performance in select, sanctioned golf events. Butler was honored alongside other statewide golf professionals at an awards ceremony earlier this month.
