Julie Snyder Named Honorary Chairperson for 75th Casey Open

July at the Casey Country Club means that it is time for the Casey Open. This year, we will be celebrating the 75th year of this competitive event.

Julie Snyder has been nominated to be this year’s Honorary Chairperson for the 75th Casey Open. A continued supporter of the event, Julie has a passion for the game and the course.

Julie is a lifelong sports enthusiast. Although she was introduced to golf at a young age, it wasn’t until her 40s that she developed a genuine interest in the game. She views golf as a sport that can be enjoyed at any age and a way to spend time with others.

Julie has always seen the golf course as an asset to the Casey community. Even before she played, she thought it was something special that our small town had a course of its own. In recent years, she’s taken a hands-on role in enhancing the course’s landscaping.

Motivated by the sight of the tourist trolley driving by, she took the initiative to update the circle near the front entrance. Since then, Julie has taken an active role in landscaping efforts throughout the course.

After retiring, her husband, Ron, joined her in caring for the landscaping.

Julie recognizes that maintaining our 9-hole course takes a team effort and wants to give a “shout-out” to all of the members and staff who help make it happen.

Julie and Ron have two children – Mitch (married to Emma) and Kalie (married to Alex)–as well as two grandchildren. When not on the course, you can find Julie spending time with family and friends or on the pickleball courts.

Julie Snyder’s dedication to the game and the course make her a perfect fit for the Honorary Chairperson of the 75th Casey Open!
