Chris Larson Named MCC’s
PGA Head Golf Professional
Moorhead Country Club is pleased to announce the hiring of our
new Head Golf Professional, Chris Larson. Chris, a North Fargo
na�ve, has served as MCC’s Assistant Golf Professional for the past
nine years under the direc�on of re�ring PGA Professional, Larry
Murphy. A graduate of Kansas State University in Golf Course
Management, Chris con�nued his pre-professional program at
Carnous�e Golf Resort, Carnous�e Scotland, Pebble Beach Golf
Links, Pebble Beach, CA, and Golden Valley Golf & Country Club,
Golden Valley, MN before joining the MCC Golf Shop staff in 2008.
Chris resides in Fargo with his wife Crystal and his two daughters Adia (7) and Evelyn (4).
First and foremost, thank you. Thank you for all of the supportive
phone calls, texts and emails along with the numerous well wishes I
received through the entire hiring process. It means the world to myself
and my family to know that I have the support of so many at Moorhead
Country Club. And what an honor and an incredibly humbling
experience it is to become the 4th PGA Head Golf Professional at MCC. To follow the consummate PGA
professional, Larry Murphy comes with a heavy heart as he has been a tremendous role model and great influence
on not only my professional life but my personal life as well. My focus is to pay homage to the steep tradition he
instilled and promote our quality golf programming and service to which I believe elevate our club above others. We
have so many great things planned for 2017 already and I believe we are building a great momentum heading into
next golf season. I offer the kindest regards and the sincerest thank you to the entire MCC Family!

Dear MCC Members,
Julie and I want to thank you for the wonderful Retirement Open House you provided for
us on Saturday, December 10. The entire afternoon was humbling and overwhelming. The
invitation and attendance of many of our past Assistant Golf Professionals was very special to us.
The continued support and attendance from the MCC membership that afternoon was very
humbling. The golf community attendance and support that day was overwhelming.
A very special thank you to Michelle Horan, Chris Larson, Nick Burington and the staff at
MCC for planning this very special day for Julie, myself and our family. The club looked beautiful
and the food was fantastic.
Thank you to Darren Dunlop for being the always excellent Master Of Ceremonies. Thank
you to Chris Larson for the special presentation and kind words. Thank you to Andy Dumas for
his kind remarks and the announcement of the name change of the MCC Member-Guest to “The
Murph”. That honor, in itself, means the world to our family. Then add the bagpipes to that
announcement and there was not a dry eye in the Murphy family. Thank you to Past President
Jonathan Matter for his kind remarks and presentation of a Lifetime Membership for Julie and Me
to MCC. Thank you to the MCC Board of Directors for the entire day and the Members of
Moorhead Country Club for the gifts.
Time goes by very quickly and these 47 years have just flown by! I am a very fortunate
person to have been employed at MCC and worked for this great membership. We are also very
blessed to have been surrounded by so many incredibly talented people in our Golf Shop. We are
extremely proud of each and every one of them and their accomplishments in their lives.
Julie and I say “Thank You” to Moorhead Country Club for allowing us to “Live Our
Dream” each and every day at MCC. We will miss each of you. We look forward to seeing you
on the golf course!
Sincerely, Larry & Julie Murphy
