R&A's Dawson To Step Down In September 2015

From a Guardian staff report, the news that R&A Chief Inspector Architect Peter Dawson will step down in September 2015, but still will remain on the International Golf Federation board through 2016 to see the Olympic golf's debut through.

Interesting that the Guardian item notes high up in his list of accomplishments: the possibility of female Royal and Ancient Golf Club members. No mention of his architectural tinkering work at Open rota courses, i.e. The Treatment.

There was this from the official press release on the search for his successor:

The recruitment of Mr Dawson’s successor will be handled by international executive search firm Spencer Stuart and the position will be advertised this weekend. An appointment is expected to be made in sufficient time to allow for an appropriate handover period in 2015.

Expressions of interest in the role should be sent to TheR&A@SpencerStuart.com.
