Kevin VandenBerg has demonstrated playing excellence at state and national levels. Originally from Mattawan, the former Kalamazoo Golf Association president is the only golfer to win the Michigan Amateur, GAM Championship and GAM Mid-Amateur Championship in the same year (2000). He moved to Pulaski, N.Y., in 2007 and focused on building a financial management business, but after turning 55 started playing senior competition, including two U.S. Senior Opens and two U.S. Senior Amateurs. He was runner-up in Golfweek’s Senior Player of the Year rankings in 2022 before being named Golfweek’s Senior Player of the Year in 2023, a year in which he had 13 top five finishes in 20 tournament starts. During Michigan’s golf season, VandenBerg regularly returns to play in tournaments by maintaining his GAM membership, and in 2024 he won another state title, the GAM Senior Match Play Championship.
