Our ex-Golf Professional and Strategy Director, Mark Allen, was very saddened to hear of the passing of Doug Smith – his first boss but also a true legend of the Professional Golfers Association in Great Britain. Not only was Doug a former Captain, Chairman and Founding Father of the PGA, Head of Coaching and Ryder Cup Referee, he was simply the most decent of people. He stands alongside the likes of Tony Jacklin, Bernard Gallagher and Nick Faldo as one of only a handful of recipients of the PGA’s highest honor of Honorary Life Membership.
