This is probably too easy, but no fair Googling if you don't know the answer.
XXXXX has competed at the national and international level for six decades – from his days as a junior to now as a senior. Along the way, he has played in seven U.S. Amateurs, eight U.S. Mid Amateurs, three British Amateurs and both the U.S. Junior and Senior Amateurs. In ------, he won the Senior Crump Cup at Pine Valley, recognized by many as the best course in all of golf, and finished second at the George Coleman Invitational at Seminole Golf Club, another fixture in golf’s “top 10.”
XXXXX served as a member of the USGA Executive Committee from 2006-12, most recently serving as treasurer, making him the first architect to hold a seat on the committee in 116 years. The ------ recipient of the USGA’s Ike Grainger Award which recognizes dedication and service to golf, XXXXX has chaired the U.S. Mid Amateur Committee for two years, chaired two USGA committees on turfgrass research and maintenance, served on the USGA Championship Committee and, last year, was named to the Joint Equipment Standards Committee of the USGA and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, the ruling body in all of golf outside the United States.
Does that last one mean he had a hand in the anchoring proposal?
How can you not like a guy who says:
"I believe a golf course should be designed to make every golfer who plays it a better player by giving them options that require strategy, creativity and imagination."
And, in describing one of his own courses,
“Pine Valley is the greatest golf course in the world when it comes to demanding you to hit the right shot for the situation,” XXXXX continued. “You can hit good shots all day long at Pine Valley and be dead because you didn’t choose the right shot to hit. You could have hit a good shot, but you didn’t hit the right shot. And that’s what this place is all about. And that’s what any great golf course is about – hitting the right shot for the occasion.”
