Vernon Delivers Acceptance Speech, Manages To Remain On Podium Throughout

Unlike his predecessor who demonstrated that he was a man of the people by leaving the podium to explain how he planned to become the most maligned president in USGA history, new head man Jim Vernon opted to remain on the stage as he delivered his acceptance speech.

Ken Klavon reports on some of the speech's key lines. This one ought to be news to someone's ears, though I'm not entirely sure who. 

“We are committed to basing the rules on scientifically supported facts and not anecdotes,” said Vernon.
