The Golf Guy Podcast — Kevin Hammer, USGA Executive Committee Member

We talk with Kevin Hammer about growing up in South Florida and being immersed in the game at a young age, his success as a junior golfer (being a first-team AJGA All American in 1989) and playing at the University of Florida, and his continued participation in various state and national amateur tournaments as he pursued his business career at Merrill Lynch. Over the past 15 years Kevin has given back to the game with his service first at the Florida State Golf Association, culminating in his FSGA Presidency in 2021-2022, and now as a member of the USGA Executive Committee where he has served as Chair of the Championship Committee in 2023. We discuss his accomplishments at the FSGA and USGA, and the challenges and opportunities facing the USGA and the game in the coming decades.
