May Indoorsman of the Month – Qualifying Round Recap

The field is officially locked for the May Indoorsman of the Month Championship at Aronimink Golf Club — and this is shaping up to be our most competitive finish yet.

After a full week of qualifying rounds, eight players secured spots in the live in-person championship. This month also introduced a new format: scores from qualifying will carry over into the final round, creating a true PGA Tour-style tournament where every shot matters from start to finish.

🏆 Finalists

Nic Murk*
Ryan Takayama
Joe Reel
Shawn Leegwater
Chris English
Christian Heinbaugh
Hayden Poinier
Chris Jinks
Alexis Palma

*Nic Murk earned medalist honors during qualifying but will not be able to attend championship night.

🔥 Championship Night Details

📅 Thursday, May 21
⏰ Doors Open: 5:00 PM
🏌️ Championship Begins: 5:30 PM
📍 Indoorsman Golf Club

Unlike previous tournaments, qualifying scores will carry directly into the live final round. Players won’t be starting from scratch — every birdie, bogey, and clutch putt from Round 1 still counts.

That means the leaderboard remains incredibly tight heading into the championship.

⛳ Aronimink Delivered

The qualifying round brought exactly the kind of drama we hoped for:

Just a few strokes separated the leaders
Momentum swings happened throughout the round
Several players held strong through Aronimink’s difficult closing stretch

With scores carrying over, there’s still plenty of golf left to play — and no room for mistakes.

Now it all comes down to one final night.

Who’s taking home the May Wall of Fame spot?

Nic Murk wins April Indoorsman of the Month

Nic Murk Wins the April Indoorsman of the Month

The April Indoorsman of the Month playoff at Pebble Beach delivered one of the most exciting finishes we’ve seen yet — and a champion nobody will forget.

🏆 Champion: Nic Murk

Entering the playoff as the 8th seed, Nic Murk put together a remarkable run, advancing through the wildcard round and continuing his momentum all the way to the championship.

By the end of the night, Nic had climbed from last in the Elite 8 to the top of the leaderboard — earning the title of April Indoorsman of the Month and his place on the Wall of Fame.

🔥 A Playoff Full of Twists

The night didn’t follow a typical script.

Christian Heinbaugh, Nic Murk, and Chris Jinks advanced out of the opening round
Joe Reel waited in the championship after earning his spot
Ryan Takayama, the top qualifier, was unable to compete after earning a bye (for a great reason — congratulations to Ryan and his family!)
With the format shifting, the championship became a 9-hole showdown, raising the stakes on every single shot

With less room for error and more pressure per hole, the championship demanded precision — and Nic delivered when it mattered most.

Nic’s win is a perfect example of what makes the Indoorsman format so compelling. Once you reach the playoff, anything can happen. Momentum matters. Pressure matters. And no lead is safe.

🎯 Notable Performances

Several players stood out throughout the tournament:

Qualifier Winner: Ryan Takayama
Best Net Score: Ryan Takayama
Closest to the Pin: Ron Skibinski
Longest Drive: Christian Heinbaugh

The combination of gross scoring, net competition, and skills challenges continues to make each tournament competitive across the board.

⛳ What’s Next: May at Aronimink

The Indoorsman of the Month series rolls on.

In May, we head to Aronimink Golf Club, a championship-caliber course and former PGA Championship venue that will present a completely different test.

If April proved anything, it’s that every round — and every shot — counts.

The Wall of Fame has a new name.

Who’s next?

We’ll see you in the bays.
