We lost two important men in golf last week. Frank Hannigan, former executive director of the U.S.G.A. passed away at age 82. We also both wrote for Golf Observer during the heady, halcyon days of a nascent golf scene on the Internet. Frank was grace and class all the way. The entire golf world is united in mourning him.
We also lost George Bahto, the dry cleaner turned golf course architect who helped restore several Macdonald, Raynor, Banks courses including the Knoll Club West and Sleepy Hollow. We’ll go dark for a day to honor their contributions to golf and their memory.
