Statement from Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) Chief Executive Officer Steve Mona on the passing of World Golf Hall of Fame member Patty Berg:

“There was no better ambassador for golf than Patty Berg. Everyone who considers themselves a fan of the game should be thankful for her contributions. I know GCSAA golf course superintendents appreciate the steadfast support and recognition she afforded them. As the winner of the 1986 GCSAA Old Tom Morris Award, Patty Berg has a special place in the association. Even in her late years, she stayed in communications with us and remained interested and engaged in the golf course management profession. She will be missed.”
