LET'S FACE IT: Golf is a selfish pastime. We want to shave strokes off our handicap, fix our slice, find the perfect clubs for us. Yet the game is filled with people who are giving back — to others and to the sport. This month, Golf Magazine honors some of the forward thinkers who are (or soon will be) impacting the culture of golf, in ways great and small.
These 12 innovators represent a cross section of the many exceptional minds who are working in creative ways to make golf better. How'd we do it? Six months ago, we sent out a clarion call for nominees to the USGA, the PGA Tour, all 41 sections of the PGA of America, the National Golf Foundation, our Top 100 Teachers in America, and millions of Golf Magazine readers and Golf.com users. It wasn't easy, but our editorial panel whittled hundreds of worthy candidates down to 50 finalists and then — after much discussion and debate — settled on these dozen names. It is our pleasure to honor them.
Help us choose the 2008 Innovators!
