A Walk Through Time
GAP is the oldest state or regional golf association in the country. It started courtesy of a friendly competition – the Team Matches – and has grown into the preeminent golf association in the country. Along the way, golf history has been made.
The USGA Museum reopened last June after three years of renovation and expansion,
and its new facility provides visitors the opportunity to explore golf history
in America from the perspective of the USGA, its national championships and its
champions. The visitor experience, which celebrates the legendary players and
great moments in the game’s history through a variety of interactive displays,
is highlighted by the Museum’s Hall of Champions, a rotunda which houses the 13
original USGA championship trophies and lists the name of every USGA champion
and championship.
