| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles United States Golf Association (USGA) President Walter Driver Jr. States that "he is a storied driver of the golf ball...[and also] seems to posess a laundry list of superlative qualifications - intelligence, decisiveness, fairness, thoughtfulness and the ability to listen - that could make him one of USGA's most effective presidents." Discusses Driver's background as a golfer, lawyer, and chairman for investment banking giant Goldman Sachs. Mentions that Driver "[penned] the Joint Statement of Principles in 2002 and the comprehensive set of guidelines that appeared after the hectic 2004 Open at Shinnecock Hills" for the USGA. Briefly discusses how Driver entered into the golf industry, stating that "Driver was first involved in golf administration as general counsel for the Georgia Golf Association." Concludes that the USGA "will follow the Statement of Principles...look at every situation and study it, and strive to understand all factors. [The USGA] will be vigilant in guarding the game as...appropriate." |
