We announced in December that Davis Love III won the U.S. Golf Association’s Bob Jones Award but the actual ceremony presenting the honor just took place this past weekend. Davis, who was unable to attend the ceremony, said in a statement to Golf Channel, “I am very grateful to be selected by the USGA to receive their highest honor. Just to be mentioned in the same company as the previous recipients is a nice compliment, but to have my name permanently etched alongside them on an award named after Bob Jones is a tremendous feeling.” Previous winners of the Bob Jones Award include Bob Hope, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Bing Crosby and others. Davis is, indeed, in good company.
Watch the inspiring video the USGA presented about Davis winning the 2013 Bob Jones Award, which features PGA TOUR past and present players, St. Simon Island locals, family members and others talking about how respected Davis is on and off the course, and about his commitment to giving back to the community.
Even more good news came for Davis last week when Stratford Golf Partners announced that Love Golf Management will manage two of its Clubs, Firethorne Country Club in Charlotte, NC and Temple Hills Country Club in Franklin, TN. Those of us working out of McGladrey’s Charlotte office hope this means we’ll see more of Davis in the future!
Check back next week as we give you more updates on Team McGladrey and the 2013 McGladrey Classic.
