ASA started a sportsmanship award a couple of years ago to recognize outstanding examples of sportsmanship and to promote good sportsmanship.

Anyone can be nominated, as long as they are an ASA member. They do not have to attend the Pro-Ams or even the qualifiers, but they do have to promote sportsmanship - the spirit of competition.

Here's a link for more information:

You do not have to completely fill out the form, but we need enough information to make a decision. They must be an ASA member and you must demonstrate with specific examples of why you think they've earned this award.

This year, ASA will award a Sportsman from each state and from that pool, the sportsmanship of the year will be selected by the national committee. This is an amateur only award - so no pros.

A true sportsman is someone who competes in the sport and promotes the spirit of competition above the drive to win.

Integrity, honestly, attitude are all key.

If you know of someone, please nomintate them for this prestigous award. Print out the form and send to Mike Smith in Arlington. I'll see if I can find his address.
