Bend pro wins PGA award — Tim Fraley, the head golf professional at Awbrey Glen Golf Club in Bend, was named the 2013 Bill Strausbaugh Award winner last week by the Oregon Chapter of the PGA of America. The award is given to the PGA professional who “have distinguished themselves by mentoring their fellow PGA Professionals in improving their employment situations and through service to the community,” according to the PGA. The 41-year-old Fraley has been the head pro at Awbrey Glen since 2003. Among his accomplishments cited for the award is his work with junior golf, including starting Central Oregon’s PGA Junior League and his volunteer work with the Central Oregon Junior Golf Association. The chapter award is the first step in the process toward the national Strausbaugh Award. Fraley is among four chapter winners who are in the running for the Pacific Northwest Section award. The section winner will then be considered for the national award. Fraley will be presented the section award in February.
