Trophy Ceremonies To Stay Fun For Another Year: Diana Murphy Re-elected USGA President

The managing director of Rocksolid Holdings, LLC, has been re-elected to a second term as USGA President following her wildly unsuccessful first year.

Diana Murphy, a relentless attacker of names both simple and legendary, delivered a stirring address to the assembled navy and grey.

Here's the key quote, met with joyous social media comments on Twitter and Instagram. 

"We are making the game more accessible and building the next generation of golf’s ambassadors, who will support the traditions and character of the game, expand its reach, and lead it forward.” -Diana M. Murphy, elected Saturday to a second term as USGA President. 📸 USGA/Chris Keane

Murphy's re-election may overshadowed by--ok I know it won't take much to overshadow USGA Executive Committee news--Mike Davis's exciting revelation of efforts to simplify the rules coming to a course near you sooner than expected.

On top of that, the annual meeting revealed plans to introduce a USGA-branded national championship for disabled golfers. Bradley Klein has that story for Golfweek.com, including some of the dynamics involved in shaping the creation of an event that seems about 3-4 years away.
