USGA CEO Mike Davis stepping down by end of 2021

[golfunfiltered]

Didn't see this one coming. Davis is reportedly pursuing his dream of becoming a golf course designer. Will team up with Tom Fazio to create a new architecture firm.

I credit Bryson for the flawless victory.

I think he said he was going to step down a while ago. The USGA had a bunch of changes end of last year beginning of this correct??

He won't be missed. But good luck in design.

RIP field for the 2021 US Open. The fairways just narrowed even more and the rough will be 8in bermuda.

YIKES.

I am wondering if as he starts to design courses what they will look like... With the "courses are too big and the ball goes too far". Will he stick to putt putt courses??

I am not really a fan of Geoff Shackelford but I do go to his blog to read what he has to say... He has some... interesting insight to Mike Davis's career and successes.

I just liked the placement of the 'Be kind today' next to it. Which is sounds like you were being!
