John Rogers-Merchandiser of the Year

The prestigious PGA Merchandiser of the Year Award has been missing from Alto’s many golf accolades since 1999—but it reappeared in 2024, awarded to our own Director of Golf, John Rogers.  John has spent the last several years improving the look of and sales at Alto’s golf shops, especially the main shop at the Alto Clubhouse.
