Michael Block Awarded 2022 PGA Professional Player of the Year

Posted on

Arroyo Trabuco’s own PGA Head Professional, Michael Block, won the 2022 PGA Professional Player of the Year award presented by Rolex.

“This was one of my last bucket list dreams. That’s why I made it a priority to make it to Florida to seal it up. Once I did have the lead, I didn’t want to lose it again as I had in the past by not playing in the Tournament Series events. I have a very supportive management at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club. There’s no way I could have done this and been gone as much as I am from home if I didn’t have my wife and kids’ support as well.” Michael Block said.

Earlier in 2022 Block also won Southern California PGA Player of the Year and his third Southern California PGA Professional Championship. He played in the 30th PGA Cup in Surrey, England and helped the U.S. Team win the Cup for the first time since 2009. And in December, he won Event No. 3 in the PGA Tournament Series.

Since 1984, this award has been presented to the player with the most point earned from January 1 through December 31 of that year.

Michael Block Presented Employee Excellence Award

Posted on

On Thursday, November 19, 2020, Michael Block from Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club was awarded the California Golf Course Owner's Association (CGCOA) Employee Excellence Award.

The award was presented during the 2020 Annual Meeting & Awards Ceremony. This year the event was held virtually due to Covid 19.

The CGCOA's Employee Excellence Award recognizes an individual who has reflected positively on the golf course operation and the game of golf through the demonstration of exceptional customer service skills, leadership and teamwork. The award is intended to reinforce the importance of creating and exceptional experience for all customers who enter CGCOA member properties.

Michael Block is the head golf pro at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club. He's a competitive golfer who as played in the Farmers and the PGA Championship among many other tournaments. Last year he set the Arroyo Trabuco course record with a 59. And as this award shows he is a dedicated professional here at the club.

In presenting the award the CGCOA shared that it was not his accomplishments as a golfer that earned him the recognition, but rather his customer service, teaching skills, and role as an ambassador of the game. They said, "Couple those traits with his preparation and sportsmanship on the course, and the decision to recognize Michael as the CGCOA Employee Excellence Award recipient was obvious."

"Michael has worked as a teaching professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club for 16 years, and his charisma and enjoyable personality enable him to engage and connect with his students, increasing his student's interest and allowing for clear and effective instruction. Combining his professional golf experience and over a decade of instructional knowledge, Michael is able to work with golfers of all levels to increase their golf ability and lower their scores.

"Michael's postive attitude, commitment, accomplishments, and overall leadership skills make him an excellent ambassador for the game of golf."

Congratulations to Michael Block!

We are hosting a Thanksgiving Buffet, full of everyone’s favorite dishes, on Thursday, November 28, from 11am-4pm.
