Mike,
I think you and I tied for 36th on the 35 person list.....
Your list looks like a most important to golf, not most powerful in golf. Even for the golf inc list, I wonder if most on the list ever really use their power, or even feel it? Or do they just go to work and do what they do and change golf that way?
I do recall Bill Kubly being on or rising up the list, and he got a lot of stuff done mostly for the good of golf, like Arbor Links, Sticks for Kids, etc. I don't know what anyone else on the list does, though.
